- 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.
Ronan ur a wonderful young man...life is short just enjoy it and be who you are....ur very loved...
Y cant people just leave others alone??? Ur wonderful just the exact way you are..i wish u nothing but the best ronan....love u.
Hate only comes from envy , You are the star they wish they were!!
Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate... leads to suffering...
I don't think most high school bullies beat up the "gay" kid because they are insecure about their own sexuality.
They're just intolerant assholes.
It's been a privilege to watch you grow into the well rounded young man you are. This interview shows a natural charm and inner beauty that more than matches your skill as a performer. May your career become whatever you want it to be
Well put Tim!
He is a boy any parent would be proud to have guided to adulthood. @@jerrypeay584
What a wonderful healthy role you are Tim...wish all adults would find your center for themselves.
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
Amen to that, Tim.
The positive side of social networks , is the opportunity to meet very center, smart and compassion people like you Ronan. The world has an opportunity with more young people like you.
The only person who has ever touched my soul with his voice,off his first record,I will fix you,most incredible.You are right you have to be true to yourself.Keep singing I will keep listening,thank you Ronan
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.
Ronan you are loved by many I’m with you talking helps your mind relax I’m glad you managed to come through all the negative views from people
I love you your one in a million and your eyes are so dreamy
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!
I agree 100% Ken!
You are a beautiful and an amazing human being.
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.
Not a social media fan.
Your're _definitely_ one of a kind Ronan! - Live life on your OWN terms - _ALWAYS!!!_
I love to listen to you. When you speak you have this quiet, enjoyable voice. And when you start sing, this power come out of you.
You have gone your way till now, and im really happy about how you managed. All the best for you mate.
Brilliantly talented and a very well spoken young man.
TicTok997 I love your music
we never met but I consider you as a friend always god bless you
I’ve the music business destroy so many , so great to see you have kept your head on straight, and haven’t lost who you are . Your comments about social media are spot on .
I’ve been very impressed with you since I saw you on BGT auditions. So sorry you had to endure the haters. Shameful! You were so pure and honest! I do know that what you endured has helped shape you into the amazing young man in this video. I hope all the positive things you now see help you keep growing stronger in the days ahead. Awesome message from an awesome talented young man. God bless you now and forever!
Please be yourself Ronan we love you for who you are!
Ronan - you have made a very strong point. Only someone who has experienced bullying can know that sheer inner terror of feeling trapped in a damaging mindset, brought about by others with no end game other than to cause emotional and physical hurt. I know because I have been there. Strength in sharing - well done
Your beauty, talent, and heart shine through in this interview. Best wishes
Love you Ronan, from Vietnam ❤
You hit an absolute home-run with this interview Ronan! Your message is so true! I’m really happy to see you have adjusted to this social media dilemma. Social media is really wired if you really think about it.
Yo are so wise for your age , good on you for this.
Very well said !!!Such an intelligent talented young man !
Wow, this is absolutely beautiful, and so well said. I'm a huge fan of yours, and Marry Christmas and a blessed 2019!
What a wonderful soul. Great talent and such wisdom for such a young man.
Good for you! Happy Trails, Cheers!
I am a big supporter of Ronan. I remember first seeing him on the show, when he was 12. I am sure it took a lot of courage. Those that would say mean things about him, don't know him. They are cowards. Chin up Ronan. Being in the spotlight will not be always easy, but you seem to have a really good heart, and a really supportive family. I wish you all the best.
What a wonderful role model, it is splendid to see a wise older soul shine give out such a positive aura. It will be amazing to see you grow your career even more and to hear new songs sung with your genuineness and emotion. Keep up the terrific work xx
You are absolutely stunning Ronan. Just keep up the great work and forget about the haters. They are jealous of what you've got. I love you & your love. Just keep smiling bud. ❤️
You are awesome and don't let anyone say anything else... You just be you!!!
Handsome young man ❤️
It's been an awesome journey with you man! I've been a fan from day one; even with Ben!👊🤗
Watching this interview Ronan you can still see the hurt in your eyes,i feel sad for the small minded people who feel the need to hurt others in any form. So glad you have overcome this hurdle and launched your music career to an even greater level. You talent is amazing.
loved you from day one....and you still don't disappoint!!!
You've been so strong growing up on social media; I hope that other young people learn from you. On a separate note, your cover of 'Never Enough' from the Greatest Showman is amazing.
Such a beautiful singer from a young age. He is also a handsome and intelligent person!! Be who you are not what people want you to be Ronan
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.
Well said, well done, you are an inspiration bud :-)
u are incredible and strong not to mention veryyyy handsome x
Such an amazing guy, a great role model for all and a great personality. Be proud of everything you have achieved, and I hope to see more from you.♥️
Thanks Ronan!!
Exelent Advice from such a wise young man‼️👍✅
awesome. keep it up 👍
Rolan every word you spoke is true. Social media is evil far to much of the time and so overrated. I use facebook only and have no interest in any other media. Stay true to yourself and your beliefs for they are the things that make you who you are...and that is great.
Such a nice guy, really hope is career takes off as he’s got the talent and looks.
I've always admired you, always loved you and your music, and always will, still love you.
Ronan, you are much more mature then people so much older than you are - You are a very special human.
Well said. And a great message. Everyone should be free to be me. You've grown into a stunningly handsome and talented young man. It's been such a pleasure watching you blossom. Keep being you. It makes for a better world.
Θυ
!!! Your great❤️
Such a strong, wonderful person. Bullies only bully because they are uncomfortable being in their own skin. Music is great, please, keep it up, keep it real.
Ronan, you're an inspiration
He's so sweet!
Wow Ronans grown up so handsum person. So mature I love his songs
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."
You are great Ronan you were at 12 and you are now Love your voice and you
your amazing from the age of 12. your voice is brilliant. Even at 72 i think your brilliant. Good luck always. Love and hugs to you.
Those who hate on you wish they had 1/10th of your talent. They hate you because you have more talent than they could ever dream of having.
Please make sure you remember to let us know the date and channel. Etc. You had brilliant reviews on BGT. I remember some of the bad stuff too and I thought for Christ’s sake, he’s only 12. Your a nice guy, great talent and with a great future. Ignore the ignorant!🥇🏆🎅🏼🎄🇬🇧
...It's hard ...after such performances...but I know you will bring a lot of joy and enjoyment ...
You express the downside of "social" media very well. It's all so superficial when you judge someone's inside by how they appear on the outside. 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
You are an artist with a beautiful voice. Don't listen to the prejudiced idiots out there. Stay strong young man and keep singing. The world would suffer a GREAT LOSS if you were to stop because of the jerks who can't look past their own biases and see the beautiful person that you have become, in spite of their attempts to bring you down. DO NOT let the creeps win. Stay strong and run your life the way you know is right for you... a great singer with a very beautiful voice. You ARE intelligent, handsome, strong, and a great singer!
Dear Ronan

You have to be prepared for cyber bullying if you are well known and different.
Social media is a double-edged sword Ronan. For those of my generation it is something which can fill a loneliness gap up to a point but it can need a very thick skin, especially for the LGBT community. I wish you well with your career
Is Ronan Parke gay then?
Jean lol.
He is sooooo adorable.
Ronan parke you are the sweetest man there is and a heart of gold and I would bow down to you and do anything for you I can and I would give my life up for you to defend you and protect you from the hurt From the world you are my idol and I ever see in person it would be a dream come true and if you needed a organ if I match it's yours I don't need you as a love but as a Friend is dream come true and I am so proud of you you what's best in good kind and caring person to your music makes my world feel at peace when sing take care Ronan parke love you
Well said. I have kept out of all of this, but see that you are a young man with integrity and respect.
If you believe in God, then may God be with you always - if not......may your life be good anyway.
Ronan parke you are a angel to me and God sent us you and I will follow you the rest of my life and I will join your army and fight for you with 24 hours a day you will always be in my heart and your family to and all always be here for you
...Трудно е ...след такива представяния...но знам, че ще донесеш много радост и наслада ...
They are nobody's....keep singing!
So Beautiful on the inside and the outside... So mature and natural. I guess I'm in love. ♥

I love you Ronan Parke Love you so much you are truly amazing person your beautiful and really handsome good looking dude from Apollo I'm from New Zealand Auckland.
Unusual name for a Kiwi, greetings from AKL/NZ
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.
album bought!
I know what it's like i too got bullied it why i was always in trouble cause the bullies at school would start it first to get me into trouble with others and then they would think it's me starting it when it's actually them starting first and they agree it's them still do it and i'm a good person i see my self as a good person and normal they don't i might have a few health problems that doesn't mean i don't act like it literally and have to be retarded instead no i lead a normal life and do normal things depsite the health problems i have i suppose that's why i got it cause i stood out with my health problems even t eachers use to think i talking when we all singing when i actually singing and she use to get nasty too before anything else happened to me. 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.
Wow. First time I’ve seen him since BGT. Could see how gay he was on BGT when he was 12. He probably didn’t even know it yet. Definitely born in them. Loved his singing on the show.
😍😍😍❤❤❤
It all a form of bullying to me i realized later that it bullying so much that i was not interested in jobs anymore use to be interested in getting jobs lost it cause of that i always feared going to get a job and doing it in case the bullies was there that started it and i was a victim too they didn't see that when i health a problem they see it as something else illegal when not. 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.
Talking crap about this kid is absolutely disgusting. People that threaten little kids online or making fun of them are just jealous cowards.
U got to forgive the bullies too cause they probably have had it bad in there lives too and get at us for that reason too and perhaps they got bullied too.
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.
They only do that to us cause we're doing something like that with our lives and a bit different to them we still human and emotions too and i i don't like those that say you can't do that cause your different when i can do that and i can do anything apart from swim. If i could sing like that i probably do acting and sing too.
Wish I had 1/4 of your beauty.
Hallo ronan parke 🌹🌙
Why he looks 14 to me ?
O love to you.....my name is Jeová....Brasil
Such a cutie. woof

Marry me Ronan
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!!
He is gay
Bet she (he) wouldn’t last 5 minutes out in the wilderness alone.
