VIDEO: Young teenager from Limerick stands up to cyber bullying

Tony Cuddihy

A must watch if you’ve ever bullied someone, or been bullied, online.

Ahead of Safer Internet Day 2016 on Tuesday, 13-year-old Luke Culhane has made this video about the effects of cyber-bullying.

The clip is entitled #CreateNoHate, and Luke – a pupil in Castletroy College in Limerick – explained his reasons behind making it.

“I have been cyber-bullied myself so that inspired me to make this video to help raise awareness for other people about how to handle cyber-bullying,” he said

“I wanted to show that it doesn’t have to be physical bullying to hurt someone so that’s why I showed the likeness between the two types of bullying. I felt that “Safer Internet Day” was an appropriate time to release this video to create discussion around the issue.”
