Texas ninth grader Ahmed Mohamed, 14, has made headlines everywhere for his arrest after bringing a science experiment to school. On Monday (Sept. 14), Mohamed, a Muslim- American and inspiring engineer, built a clock to impress his teacher. As it turns out, the teacher was less than impressed and Mohamed was soon questioned by authorities. "So you tried to make a bomb?," he was asked.

Mohamed was led away in handcuffs and brought to a juvenile detention center, but while it was announced Wednesday (Sept. 16) that charges won't be filed against him, he's still facing suspension from MacArthur High School in Irving, TX.

At a press conference from his home today, Ahmed spoke alongside his parents and lawyers. “I built a clock to impress my teacher, but when I showed it to her, she thought it was a threat to her,” he said. “It was really sad that she took the wrong impression of it." He also added that he's considering transferring schools.

Mohamed also thanked his social media supporters, of which there are PLENTY. That's definitely a beautiful thing, and Ahmed definitely felt the love. “Thank you all for helping me,” he said.

Thank you for your support! I really didn't think people would care about a muslim boy. #Thankyouforstandingwithme #IStandWithAhmed

The hashtag #IStandWithAhmed has been used in full force, with messages that were overwhelmingly positive. Here's just some of what went down via Twitter.

There were the serious/emotional messages:

All the #IStandWithAhmed support I'm seeing is honestly making me emotional. I'm proud of my (mostly) progressive & open-minded generation.

When a community can't tell the difference between a tan kid with a clock and a terrorist, there is an issue. #IStandWithAhmed

I can guarantee if Ahmed had a different, non-ethnic name & wasn't of that ethnicity, he would be praised. #IStandWithAhmed

Plenty of celebs weighed in, too, offering their support:

When my brother was a teenager he built an oscilloscope and no one thought he was a terrorist. Or even a communist. #IStandWithAhmed

Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great.
