ANTI-BULLYING PERFORMANCE IN BGT'S AUDITIONS

 

Anti-Bullying choir Class Dynamix give a powerful performance on British’s Got Talent 2020

The other day in class, we discussed something that really stuck with me: bullying can start earlier than 5. It’s shocking to think about, but it’s true. Even at the earliest stages of school, kids can face unkindness that leaves a lasting impact. That’s why I think performances like the one by Class Dynamix on Britain’s Got Talent are so important.

Their audition was more than just a song. It was a heartfelt and energetic reminder that bullying isn’t just “kids being kids.” Their performance wasn’t just about saying, “stop bullying.” It was about encouraging everyone to step up, speak out, and support each other. Music is a powerful way to stay in people’s minds long after they’ve listened to it for the first time. It’s catchy, and for younger kids especially, it can hold their attention in ways that other messages might not. Imagine being a five-year-old hearing this song, it’s fun and energetic, but it also teaches a lesson that bullying is not a nice thing to do. It sticks with you, and that’s the influence of music.

Also, for kids watching this on TV or online, the impact is huge. Bullying is something we’ve all either seen or experienced, so imagine being a kid who’s struggling with bullying and seeing other kids stand up and say, “This isn’t okay, and we’re here for you.” That sense of unity can be life-changing. It reminds kids that they’re not alone and shows them how powerful it is to stand together. However, it’s not just for kids. Seeing this on a massive platform like BGT also reminds parents, teachers, and everyone else watching that bullying is still a big problem. It opens up conversations at home and in classrooms, inspires action, and highlights what we can all do to make things better. 

Having millions of viewers can transform what could be just another singing competition into a platform for change, proving that entertainment can do more than entertain, it can inspire and educate. And for the little ones, it’s a great way to show them early on that being kind, brave, and standing up for what’s right are things they can hold onto as they grow up.

    I think it is so important to put this messages in this kind of TV shows since sometimes they bring participants just to mock them and raise the audiences, which may have a bad effect on the person performing. Also, some judges are known to be really mean, like Risto Mejide and Simon Cowell. That is why I think it is so essential that this programs take this perspective.

Gender Differences in Bullying

  Gender Differences in Bullying Bullying is a serious problem that happens in many places with children and teenagers like in school in sports and in summer camps I work as a coach and monitor with boys and girls in these kinds of spaces so this topic is important to me One thing that I see often is that bullying is not always the same for boys and girls boys usually show more physical bullying like hitting pushing or shouting girls usually use more relational bullying like ignoring others spreading lies or leaving someone out of the group this is something that many studies say too For example a study by Villardón Gallego et al says that boys are more likely to be involved in direct and physical bullying while girls show more indirect forms like social exclusion or emotional pressure (Villardón Gallego et al 2021) this means that sometimes bullying by girls is harder to see but it can hurt just as much Also according to the International Journal of Environmental Research an...

Audrie and Daisy (my opinions and way of thinking about it)

In this blog post, I brought you a documentary film mostly about 2 girls, Audrie and Daisy who had been sexually assaulted while being filmed and then cyberbullied. Audrie committed suicide in 2012 after all the things and the case happened to her. Daisy also tried to end her life by suicide multiple times right after the sexual crime and cyberbullying, but she was saved by her family every time (unfortunately in 2020, her attempt was fatal).    In the whole documentary we can meet both girls’ family and friends, talking about the things happened, which gives us a more emotional and devastating way of understanding what a sexual assault and cyberbullying can do to one person.   I do not want to give you spoilers or tell you the whole story; therefore, I would like to end my description here and truly advise you to watch it.     According to the World Health Organization, around 1 in 6 adolescents experience cyberbullying day by day and surprisingly and dev...

New Definition of Bullying

 Hi everyone! The World Anti-Bullying Forum, together with UNESCO, created a Working group for establishing a new definition of school bullying. Its new definition keeps the idea that bullying requires unwanted repetitive aggressiveness and imbalance of power, and adds the idea that this power imbalance is supported by societal and institutional norms. The emphasis is now in the idea that bullying is not an affair among students but a social process. The new definition is this one: School bullying is a damaging social process that is characterized by an imbalance of power driven by social (societal) and institutional norms. It is often repeated and manifests as unwanted interpersonal behaviour among students or school personnel that causes physical, social, and emotional harm to the targeted individuals or groups, and the wider school community. You can find the document where it is explained  here . Fes
