Hopeful – Bars & Melody
Oh oh oh
Yeah, check it out!
oh no
here we go
Oh oh
Please help me God, I feel so alone
I'm just a kid
How can I take it on my own?
I’ve cried too many tears, yeah, writing this song
Trying to fit in, where do I belong?
I wake up every day, don’t want to leave my home
My momma’s askin’ me why I’m always alone
Too scared to say, too scared to holler
I'm walking to school with sweat around my collar
I’m just a kid, I don’t want no stress
My nerves are bad, my life's a mess
The names you call me, they hurt real bad
i want to tell my mom
She's been in trouble with my dad
I feel so trapped, there's nowhere to turn
come to school
Don’t wanna fight, I wanna learn
So please Mr. Bully
Tell me what I've done
You know I have no dad
I'm living with my mom
cause im hopeful
Yes, I am hopeful for today
take this music and use it
let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful
And he’ll make a way
I know it aint easy, but that’s okay
Why do you trip every single day?
I didn’t ask to be born but now I have to pay
I ain’t got no money, you take all I have
When I give it to you, I search through my bags
I feel so scared when you shout me down
You kick me, punch me, throw me to the ground
When I ask you, “Yo, what have I done”?
You hit me again, and make fun of my mom!
And I’m hopeful
Yes, I am hopeful for today
Take this music and use it (check it out!)
let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful
And he’ll make a way
I know it aint easy, but that’s okay
just be hopeful
What I wear is all I have
We lost our home, I’m livin’ from a bag
Yo, mr. Bully, help me please
I'm flesh and blood, accept me please
Hey, mr. Bully, I don’t know what to do
My mind, it can't explain
what i did to you
Mr. Bully, take in all my pleas
Every single day you bring me to my knees
hopeful
Yes I am hopeful for today
take this music and use it
let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful
And he’ll make a way
I know it ain at easy but that’s okay
just be hopeful

The boys arrived on stage lavishing sympathy and judge David Walliams was responsible for making all the spectators laugh a lot with his funny comments with the boys' responses.
After laughing a lot and already being super comfortable on stage, Devries announces that he will sing the song Hope, by Twista and Faith Evans, adapted with a rap he composed himself. When asked what rap was about, he surprised everyone by saying it was “anti bullying”. From the smiles at the beginning of the performance to the tears of emotion when he is told about the difficult phase Drevies had at school. he is a boy who
he faced bullying and, among a few, managed to overcome and get back on his feet.
The song is emotional and tells what the boy went through, in addition to motivating people who go through it to believe that everything will get better.
The story of the two boys became known worldwide and a youtube video with this presentation had over 70 MILLION views!! Unfortunately they didn't win this edition of the show, but they took third place and soon signed a contract with the record label Syco Music. The single “Hopeful” was released in July 2014 and reached the 5th place in the best sellers. http://mundoemcartas.blogspot.com.br/2015/05/bars-and-melody-do-bullying-ao-sucesso.html

11) According to the text above what is Cyberbullying?
http://marcuspessoa.com.br/tag/cyber-bullying/
Bullying involves actions that portray specific types of violence, such as:
Physical violence – pushing, punching, kicking, hitting, pinching;
Verbal violence – naming, cursing, insulting, mocking;
Material violence – tearing, spoiling, stealing, stealing;
Moral violence – slander, spread rumours, slander;

Bullying: It's not a joke, it's a Crime, if the adult can be arrested and have to pay compensation, if the minor will face sanctions disciplinary measures established by the ECA and those responsible for the minor may be ordered to pay compensation for damages morals.
Articles on punishment for Bulliyng:
1. In those days, in Minas Gerais, the Court sentenced the parents of a student from an upper middle class institution in Belo Horizonte to pay an indemnity of R$ 8
thousand to a classmate for bullying. The 15-year-old had offended his classmate because she had relationships with others, who were classified by the student as lesbians. The girl also received nicknames and insinuations for having started dating a richer classmate.
2.In the same sense, this time in the State of São Paulo in the city of Fernandópolis, more severe penalty for crime of aggression.
An unprecedented initiative in the state, two teenagers from Fernandópolis, one 15, the other 16, were convicted by the city's justice system for “bullying” against a 10-year-old boy. They will fulfill a socio-educational measure under a semi-open regime for an indefinite period.
The attack took place in September and the victim was hospitalized. A survey reveals that 66% of students have already suffered some form of physical or psychological aggression within schools.
3. In the same sense: Punishment for Bullying, this time in Mato Grosso do Sul in the city of Campo Grande
BULLYING AUTHOR WHO EXTORTED COLLEAGUE WILL CLEAN SCHOOL...
A 13-year-old will clean school and wash dishes for school lunches. Family will also have to return R$ 500.00 to the victim in Campo Grande.
The “punishment” was applied in place of a socio-educational measure, an alternative that already has a history in other schools in Campo Grande, in a project of the prosecution. “If he went to Unei, he would become a bandit,” said Harfouche.
Harfouche decided to apply this type of penalty because the boy had no legal record. In these three months of penalty, if he is caught in another irregular situation, he will be liable for the infraction of extortion, being punished with hospitalization at Unei.

Rarity – Anderson Freire
I can't go beyond your gaze
All I can do is imagine
The wealth that exists within you
The gold I can only admire
But looking at you I can worship God
Your soul is a good that will never grow old
sin can't hide
The mark of Jesus in you
what did you do or did not do
It didn't change the beginning: God chose you
Your rarity is not what you have
Or who knows how to do.
That's God's mystery to you.
you are a mirror
Which reflects the image of the Lord
don't cry if the world hasn't noticed
It's enough that God recognizes your value
You are precious, rarer than pure gold ofir 
If you gave up, God won't give up
he is here to lift you
If the world makes you fall….
The gold I can only admire
But looking at you I can worship God
Your soul is a good, that will never grow old
sin can't hide
The mark of Jesus in you
what did you do or did not do
Didn't change the beginning, God chose you
Your rarity is not what you have
Or who knows how to do.
This is God's mystery with you
you are a mirror
Which reflects the image of the Lord
don't cry if the world hasn't noticed
It is enough that God recognizes its value.
You are precious, rarer than the pure gold of Ophir
If you gave up, God won't give up
He is here to lift you up
if the world makes you fall
