Pop singer's cyber-bullying message

UP-and-coming pop singer Anttix is to visit Warrington’s Sir Thomas Boteler High School tomorrow (Friday) – with a vital message about cyber-bullying.
The 23-year-old is currently touring the UK to promote his music, including his new single, “Tornado.”
But he is also trying to raise awareness of the issues surrounding cyber-bullying, and the damaging effects of abusive messages posted on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Anttix, whose real name is Antony Llewellyn, is supported by national charity The Cybersmile Foundation, which provides young people affected by online hate campaigns with advice and coping strategies.
He has suffered from the problem himself.
After getting himself a record deal, he went on Facebook and Twitter and, although most people welcomed him, he got the occasional message such as “Why don’t you just die.”
He said: “You can banter about it, but it is really quite serious. Some people would really, really struggle with people who are saying nasty things about them online. From working with The Cybersmile Foundation I’ve heard stories that some people have committed suicide because they’re so stressed out about it.
“People think that bullying is literally about being in a playground and someone hits you in the face. But cyber-bullying can be mentally-torturing and I think we should be a generation where everybody just says nice things to each other online.”
