"It's National Walkout Day, I'm the only one from my school out here," he said in a video he tweeted. “I’m just going to be chilling here for the next 15 minutes.”
According to CNN, about 700 students attend Wilson Preparatory Academy. Blackman was the only student to leave class. He spent 17 minutes outside, one for every person who died at Stoneman Douglas High School last month, and then walked back to his Spanish class.
The school declined to comment on the issue, but told CNN Blackman is an "independent thinker."
He didn't think that anyone would care. “There’s going to be like six people watching this hopefully," he said in the video.
Instead, Blackman received an outpouring of support from people around the country.
Lindsay Knauf, who's from Newtown, Connecticut, where the Sandy Hook school shooting occurred in 2012, thanked Blackman for standing up.
"Seeing the action that is finally taking place means the world to all of us here," she tweeted at him.

This may be the start of Blackman's career in leadership. The high schooler runs a YouTube channel for gaming, but he's thinking about starting one dedicated to politics.
"I'm young and I HAVE A VOICE!!!!" he tweeted.
