So, there I was, doing my homework, and me ma comes in. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
Ah, Roy, that doesn't look like your homework. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
But Ma, it's history homework for Hammo. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
Ah, history. Gossip's fancy cousin. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
Your assignment is to write the life story | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
of a historical figure of your choice. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
He wants every fact, every figure, and every single detail. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:24 | |
I don't know where to start. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:25 | |
What do I know about the woman who built France, | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
or the man who invented hiccups? | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
-Why not try writing about the person you know best? -Who's that? -You. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
-We're all a part of history. -Ma was right, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
but did I really want everybody knowing everything about me? | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
There's some things I wish even I didn't know. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Me da was very persuasive, though. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
You know what he's like when he gets fired up about something. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
SCREAMING AND CRASHING | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
-Will whatever you are saying mean I have to stop reading this paper? -No. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
Do that, then. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
So, I'm writing it all down. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
The life and thoughts of Roy O'Brien, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
cos these are The Roy Files. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
OK. Let's do it. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
This is one bit of the scrapbook | 0:01:04 | 0:01:05 | |
I haven't been looking forward to, | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
but I can't put it off any longer. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
It's not my favourite subject, but it is something that happened to me, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
so I can't leave it out. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
Oh! Oh! | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
Sorry, Roy. Didn't see you coming. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
Trust me, if you're a cartoon boy | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
you could write a book about being bullied. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
No-one is bursting anyone! | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
And it would be a horror story. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
You just look like a crumpled-up, badly drawn freak show, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
and everyone's sick of you. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
No, they're not. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
Just cos they don't say it to your face... | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
You wreck everything for everyone. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
Look. They don't even miss you. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
Oh. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
In a perfect world, there wouldn't be any bullies, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
and cars would have toilets, | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
but let's fix the world one problem at a time. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
If you were being bullied, what do you do? | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Well, the first thing you should do is tell a responsible adult. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
That's if you're lucky enough to know any. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
You see, all you do is that... | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
You stand up for yourself. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:06 | |
Yeah...but no fighting, and, er... | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
try and make friends with them. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
Definitely, yeah. Definitely. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
-But it's probably best to stay out of their way. -Mmm. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
So, fight back without fighting, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
and get close to them but stay away from them? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
Yeah. Thanks. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:29 | |
Right, first thing, talk to a responsible adult. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
Ahem. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:34 | |
Ah-hem! | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
Ah-he-hem! | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
Did you catch a cold, sir? | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
No, O'Brien. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:41 | |
I just wanted to give you my perspective, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
as a hugely responsible adult, on bullying. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
OK, then. What have you got, sir? | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
Truth is, O'Brien, there is no need to worry about bullying, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
because I have single-handedly wiped it out. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
No bully would dare play their vile trade while I'm around. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
In a hurry, are we, boys? | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
Well, obviously. Do you mind? | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
Eh! Do you know who I am? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
-Jervis's dad? -What? No! | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
I am the new vice-principal. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
It's just basic mathematics, O'Brien. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
Fear plus respect multiplied by Derek Hammond equals zero bullying. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:24 | |
HE LAUGHS AND SNORTS | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
Derek, right? | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
Yeah, well, Derek, we've got to run, so we'll see you around. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
That poor chap is living in a dream world. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
Oh, it's very easy to condemn bullies, Roy, | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
but is that really fair? | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
Is it? Roy? Really? Fair? Roy? | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
Eh, totally, Miss. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |
Bullies are the lowest of the low. End of story. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
I would suggest that we should try and understand why bullies | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
express themselves through antisocial behaviour. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
So, what you're saying is, when Deco's flushing my homework | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
down the toilet, that's just him expressing himself? | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
What I am saying is there is nothing about young Declan's | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
behaviour that a good old-fashioned group hug can't cure. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
-I'm not hugging no-one. -OK. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
Would anyone else like to...? | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
UPLIFTING MUSIC | 0:04:11 | 0:04:12 | |
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
Hmm. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:16 | |
We'll come back to "young Declan," | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
but first, there's one thing that's almost as bad as being bullied, | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
and that's when it's happening to one of your mates, | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
and sometimes, you don't even know it's happening. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
OK. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:28 | |
Let's give me ma and da one more chance. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
Well, Roy, if one of your friends are being bullied, | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
the signs are usually there if you watch closely enough. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
You may notice someone punching them, | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
or maybe even become aware of someone standing on his or her neck. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
I meant less obvious signs, Bill, | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
like suddenly they don't seem themselves. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
Maybe they're quieter than usual, or even angry. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
Oh, yeah. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:55 | |
Like that time with Jack. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
Go on, Roy. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:58 | |
-Me? Why me? -Because he'll listen to you. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
DEEP BREATH | 0:05:02 | 0:05:03 | |
Jack. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:07 | |
Er... | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
A good friend doesn't just ignore that sort of thing. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
I didn't. Not that he seemed too happy, though. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
You can come out now, Roy. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
I know you're there. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
MUFFLED VOICE: Who's Roy? | 0:05:30 | 0:05:31 | |
-What are you doing here? -Yeah, I was going to ask you that. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
Erm... | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
I-I like the bins, you see. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
Yeah, stop following me, OK? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
And even with my super-spying skills, Jack was on to me. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
Now, lunch money, hand it over. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
So, I had to use the old cartoon invisibility | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
to find out what was really going on. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:53 | |
I'm going to ask you nicely, one more time, hand it over...now. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:58 | |
And to tie up some loose ends while I was at it. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
-Jack! Quick! Sketch! -Roy, is that you? | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
Listen, I'll explain later! | 0:06:03 | 0:06:04 | |
We'll be right here after school, and you'd better have that money! | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
I was just trying to help, but it only made things worse. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
No-one's ever stood up to them before. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
They're going to want payback. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
That's how bullies work, son. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:19 | |
They want you scared and thinking they are stronger than you are. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
But they were stronger than us. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
It's bad enough I've the Malones on my back | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
without you guys getting hassle too. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
You don't know what it's like. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:30 | |
I know what it's like when people are just mean, | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
just cos you're not like them. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
We have to look out for each other. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
But the Malones hadn't bargained on our secret weapon - Sinead. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
And she wasn't afraid to play dirty. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
Enough messing. Pay up or else! | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
Er, sorry to interrupt, but were youse two the same Malone brothers | 0:06:45 | 0:06:50 | |
that used to go to Mrs Magee's Irish dance classes | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
when I was little? | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
I have pictures here. Take a look. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
Me mam loves taking pictures. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
I also have an article from the Ballyfermot Gazette, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
congratulating youse on your success from your science competition. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
She keeps all the papers too. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
And best of all, | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
I've got these pictures from when youse both came joint second | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
in the Little Mister Ballyfermot competition. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
So adorable. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
So cute. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:22 | |
It's amazing, really, | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
how pictures like them can end up on the internet in less than no time, | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
for everyone to see. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
And I mean absolutely everyone. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
After that, we had the meanest kids in Ballyfermot in our pockets. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
Not that I have any pockets...or trousers. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
Anyway, that was the last we heard of the Malones. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
It's just a pity Sinead wasn't around to save the day | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
when I met the biggest bully of them all. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |

Didn't you have enough make-up to paint him like a real boy? | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
If you're not going to buy anything, Deco, go home. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
Well, I was going to buy this... | 0:09:23 | 0:09:24 | |

It's like Deco's on a mission to ruin my life. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
I tried to ignore him, | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
but sooner or later, something had to give. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
-He's coming! -GORILLA NOISES | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
Go away! | 0:10:03 | 0:10:04 | |
You boys are hopeless. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:07 | |
Always keeping your feelings locked up inside. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
That's the safest place for them. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
Yeah, till they eventually get out. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |

That's why you need to talk about your problems. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
Why don't you come down, and we can sort it all out together? | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |

But I was. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:46 | |

It was payback time. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
No, no...! | 0:10:59 | 0:11:00 | |
-Put me down or I'll... -Or you'll what? -Or...I'll ask you again nicely. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:08 | |
-Please put me down! -That wasn't so bad, was it? | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
Now, buzz off, before I use you to clean the wax out of my ears. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:16 | |
That showed him. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:17 | |
But Tara was not impressed, cos something terrible had happened. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
That wasn't just me getting my own back. Now I was the bully. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
-We were only having a laugh. -Is that so? Doesn't sound very funny to me. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
But they're nothing but bullies. You said so yourself. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
That doesn't mean you have to lower yourself to their level. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
I'm very disappointed. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
-That Tara's a smart girl. -She's sure is, Ma. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
-And I hope you learned from your mistake. -Listen to your mother, Roy. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
If there's one thing she knows about, it's making mistakes. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
-What? -ROY LAUGHS | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
What? I'm helping. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:49 | |
Don't worry, Ma, I'll learn me lesson. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
Yesterday, when Deco ran off in the park, crying like a baby, | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
I filmed the whole thing. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
I showed it to him on the bus this morning. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
You should have seen his face. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:01 | |
I told him if he never bullied you again, | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
I'd think about not sending it around the school. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
Let me see that. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:07 | |
I thought I told you to back off. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
Yeah, about that. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
Listen, Roy, I know I've been a little not nice lately, | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
-but if anyone sees that video... -Relax. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
I've deleted it. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:23 | |
BOTH: What?! Why?! | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
Because it's making us the bullies. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
And now, thanks to you, I know what it's like to be cyber-bullied, | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
and I'd never do it to anybody, not even you. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
So, plenty to think about when it comes to bullying, | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
but keep to these simple rules and you'll be fine. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
No-one should have to put up with being bullied, so if it's | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
happening to you, tell a responsible adult, as long as it's not my ma, | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
or me da, or Hammo, or Miss Jervis. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
Anyway, I'm sure you'll be able to find someone. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
Oh, and don't forget, anyone can be a bully, even you, | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
so be nice to your schoolmates and your brothers and your sisters. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
-Hey, Roy! -Oh, not now, Becky, I'm writing my scrapbook! | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
No, wait, that's not right. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:06 | |
What can I do for you, sister dearest? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
Ma says your dinner's ready. Weirdo. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
Thank you, Becky. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:13 | |
Tell my sausages I'll be right down. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
And last but not least, | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
don't keep your sad or angry feelings all bottled up inside. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
They'll just grow and grow until finally, you're a gorilla. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
So, there you go. Scrapbook sorted. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
I think I hear me sausages calling. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
See youse! | 0:13:30 | 0:13:31 |
