- 1. " Talented Teen Triumphs": Bullied Boy Wins over Brits with His Angelic Voice
Andrew Johnston won standing ovation when he attended the audition for Britain's Got Talent. The road to success was not an easy one for him. Andrew has been interested in opera since he was six years old. He got bullied for his love of opera. Fortunately, one of his primary school teachers noticed his talent and encouraged him to attend the cathedral's choir.
When one of the judges heard about the bullying, he said to Andrew:
Andrew, the thing about school bullies is that they don't like you for one reason-you've got more talent than they can dream of ever having. Ever.
Andrew was optimistic about the future. He said the bullying was over and done with. He didn't really want to think about that just now. He just wanted to get on with his singing.
It is touching to know a bullied boy found solace in singing.
Bullying hurts! No one should be bullied just because he is different!
