On the radio, singer Christophe Willem returned to the harassment he suffered as a child: the insults and even the blows he received.
In the midst of the debate on school bullying, Christophe Willem spoke about what he personally suffered as a child. Without taboo on cosmetic surgery, the singer this time evoked painful memories by speaking on France Info this Wednesday. While some personalities suffer from cyberharassment by being exposed, like the artist Hoshi, the interpreter of Double I was from a very young age.
Elizabeth Borne has just presented a plan to combat bullying at school. An establishment in Paris is currently testing empathy courses.

Then the former candidate of New star detailed what was happening at the time: “It involved insults, sometimes blowsand I was going to school with a knot in my stomach and I was thinking ‘am I going to have a calm day today?’. But what touched him even more, he explains, was the reaction of adults: “I just got beaten up, I go to see the supervisor and he says to me: ‘Yes but at the same time… It’s true that you are a little effeminate“.
It therefore encourages people to speak but above all to listen: “Harassment itself is violent, insults and beatings are violent, but the biggest violence is loneliness and the lack of support from the people around“. The most important thing according to Christophe Willem is to tell those close to him. For him, “we must take measures to address the problem. […] it is fundamental that the educational establishment is equipped with the right personnel to take concrete action on the ground, otherwise it is only announcement effects and it falls like a bellows”.
