Are you trying to take the moral high ground here or something?
You are the one who dismissfully said that āwell Bressie must have suffered from something so he can help kidsā. Thatās like saying someone who suffered from heartburn can help someone with a heart attack,
A woeful lack of awareness from someone who I think may ever be a teacher!
Top post there lad.Youngsters are too mollycoddled these days.A few days on the bog turning turf and with nothing to ate only ham sandwich and a bottle of tae wouldnāt do them any harm
we recently had another well known advocate of mental health and wellbeing (one that is regularly slated here) speak at our school for no charge, did it in response to a personal invite sent on twitter.
We had Bressie in a couple of years ago. Nothing but good things were said about him.
Young people today look up to celebraties like Bressie and kids engage with them/actually listen to them in ways that regular joe soaps cant.
Sure Bressie and co may be making a few quid but they are hardly getting rich. If they strike a cord and save even one life it is money well spent imho.
Interesting points but this whole celebrity culture and the need to be seen and heard is actually part of the problem not the solution in my opinion. Itās probably something thatās always been with people but social media has sent it in to hyperactive mode. We are all ābrandsā now. Listening to someone and respecting what they say because they are a celebrity is bollixology really.
Bressie isnāt one of the lads from reality tv mate, a professional sportsman and a songwriter, did you ever have a speaker come to your school for any reason?
Iām not in a school. Would you get a celebrity in to your school to talk about nutrition etc just because the kids will pay attention? Or would you want to get an expert in the field in? Ideally you Could have the celeb introduce the expert and tell the kids to listen to what the expert says I supposeā¦
