Five talented young writers are having their anti-bullying messages broadcast on the radio.
The young people won a competition run by Leicestershire County Council and BBC Radio Leicester to write and perform a monologue about bullying.
It could be entirely fictional or based on real experiences and judges were looking for a monologue about eight minutes long with engaging and powerful opinions.
The winners have recorded their pieces at Radio Leicester's studios and soundbites from the monologues are being broadcast during Anti-Bullying Week, which runs until today (Friday 21st November 2008).
Ivan Ould, Cabinet member for the Children and Young People's Service said: "This is a great opportunity to get the message out during Anti-Bullying Week that bullying in our schools will not be tolerated and is not acceptable."
The winning young people are:
- Nick Furlong, Melton College
- Joseph Holmes, Longslade Community College
- Corey Shayers, King Edward VII College, Coalville – read by Jordan Cope
- Jordan Mcllwraith, KE VII College, Coalville – read by Robert Trott
- Bryony Luther, KE VII College, Coalville – read by Stephanie Mclaine
The full monologues, and more information about anti-bullying, can be found on the County Council's new website: www.beyondbullying.com and on Radio Le.icester's website www.bbc.co.uk/leicester/local_radio.
