  • We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Ronan Parke for this candid interview about his career after Britians Got Talent at 11yrs old and the intense Cyber Bullying he was subjected to.
    Ronan talked in depth about his career, being in the limelight at 12 years old and being subjected to intense Cyber Bullying after being on a TV Show that was broadcast to almost 10Million Viewers.
    We will be releasing the full interview soon, and some of the interview will be included in 'Plugged In' which we are now hard at work editing.
    We would like to thank Ronan and his managment for agreeing to our interview and being brave enough to talk about his experience, so that it may help others going through Cyber Bullying themselves. Seeing how well Ronan is doing, with a new album 'Found My Way' out now and a new XMas Single 'Cheers' he is a great example of how to find help and grow through intense Cyber bullying.
    Ronan's incredible new album 'Found My Way' out now

    Such a wise appraisal of social media. I wish all young people could hear this. Beautiful Ronan. You're so loved.

      Actually, it's not, and I'm kind of shocked that no one who knows Ronan Parke has filled him in on this. If you're well-known, there is no reason that you need to delete your private Facebook page. Facebook allows you to control your privacy settings, and the most extreme settings make you invisible to anyone you don't specifically choose to interact with. The only way someone can become friends with you is for you to send them a friend request. If they accept it, then (and only then) will they even be able to see your page. If someone goes to their page and looks at their Friends list, that person won't see you on the list unless you're friends with that person.

      Thank you, Lee. I simply look and listen to the young gentleman, and find he has a lot to teach us while he is continuing to learn about himself all the time. I find anyone, especially a young person, who has something to tell us is worth listening to. Mr Parke is one of the eloquent ones, and we can all learn from his example. He must have a great family behind him to be as well rounded as he is, the more so with all that has happened in his life so far. @@leebrace4341

  • @benw9949
    @benw9949 Před 5 lety +4

    Ronan impressed me from the start as a person who could be unabashedly, proudly himself. I'm a casual fan, but when I did see videos and comments, it infuriated me to see (mostly teens) saying some of the awful, hateful things they'd say about him, and others automatically assuming this or that about him, his sexuality, his personal life, and so on. -- I grew up being bullied often, so I was not entirely surprised. But one school friend was bullied so badly he had to change schools, and yes, the threats sounded like those kids meant them. -- I am very glad that someone like Ronan is a public role model, and classy, and talented. I hope we'll get to hear a lot more of his singing talent, and whatever else he wants to do towards music, video, art, or speaking out. And with that, experimenting is OK. Glad to see he is so together, and hoping for more good things for a guy with so much talent and so much going for him.

    I live in the U.S. and have not kept up with your career since BGT. However, I did come across your new Christmas song this year and LOVED it. You have turned into quite a handsome young man and are very well spoken. It's truly great to see that you have found your way and I am truly saddened that you have had to experience so much hate at such an early age. Stay strong and know that you are loved!

    All bullies are cowards. Hate comes from those that have dark negative energy. Usually those with low self esteem.
    Dont give negativity any power as OPRAH and so many others have suggested.
    Sorry about your 'pain'. Seems like you have come through it all brillantly. Your comments are so helpful to so many.
    I dont FB or twitter. Do have Instagram.

I know because I have been there. Strength in sharing - well done

    Ronan from your first audition you made millions of people around the world fall in love with you and your talent. That you have had endure cyber bullying by small minded hateful people is sad. But many of the worlds most popular stars have had to endure this, even with hate mail before online bullying came about. Their hate is a reflection on them not you. You have the opportunities that most will never even have a shot at. Grab it, enjoy your life and please keep sharing your music with the rest of us. And thank you for speaking up, it will help others who are being bullied.

    I have been a fan since I saw your audition on BGT. It has been a joy to follow your development over the past few years. I still say it is a shame you did not have an interest in Opera. You have such a sophisticated sound when singing or speaking. Your British accent is a wicked charm. I still want to see that duet with you and Jackie Evancho which was promised but never took place. I would still like you to consider making an attempt at "Unchained Melody."

I've always admired your bravery and determination since the first moment you walked on that stage. You are truly blessed to have parents who are so supportive as many people lack that kind of unconditional love. I wish you all the happiness and success in the future since your talent brings so much joy to others. Haters are just losers with keyboards....lol

    My first novel has just been released. I made the conscious decision NOT to have social media at all moving forward. I would prefer maintaining a level of anonymity and privacy that I have known pre-novel. I expect at some point people to stop me on the street to ask for a photo and/or an autograph. It should be fairly easy because I use a pen name. But beyond that I want to maintain the life I currently experience and do all that I can to keep that if my novel makes me a celebrity.

I get told to stop talking like that what they don't know is that i always talk like that till the day i die there's no cure unless i cure comes out i would take it straight away.

Some can't leave me alone and i get kicked in all over where ever i go when with others by adults that's bullying to me. I just age 16 when that happened. On my birthday too i think that's just awful It lead me to comitting suicide had thoughts on that at age 21 too. i done nothing wrong to others.

    What a shame that we live in a world that has such disgusting people in it that strive to hurt other humans in any way they can. It is truly the ignorant and under-educated that attempt to do this, and I feel sorry for anyone who is in their pathetic 'zone'. And how great that Ronan has dealt with it in such a superior way. Kudos to him for that, and for reaching out to others who are in the same situation.

    I don’t realy know how to say it, but despite the way you are a “bit gay-ish” i just love the person you’ve become.
    No matter what people say to you, you are just you!! Don’t ever change that! 💪 RESPECT!!
