"I think one of the main things to do when you're growing up is to listen to the people around you; listen to your parents; listen to your teachers. I know it's boring sometimes, and I've sat there in assemblies, been bored and said 'yeah, yeah, whatever' - but it's good advice!
	You know - don't talk to strangers; don't accept sweets; don't accept a lift. It's dead easy to sit there and switch off, but when you know somebody that something bad's happened to, it's like 'God, that really does happen! Yeah and it's too late to put it into practice when it's happened to someone you know. Start doing it now. Also talk to each other; always stay together; go to school and come home together. With bullying at school there was like an unwritten rule. 'You can't tell because you're a grass'.
	But trust me, it really won't matter. If it stops it happening, then it stops it happening. You'll leave school and that stigma won't stay with you at all. People forget about those things quite easily, but being bullied will stay with you for a long time. So, just nip it in the bud and stop it.
	Sometimes, at school you get friendly with other people who aren't very close, and they'll do different things. But if you're not comfortable with them, don't go. Don't, really don't. Walk away and go home because you'll see your real friends the next day. We still do it now - we do it every day. We listen to our instincts about everything - whether we should do a TV show; whether we should do this comedy sketch or book this guest for a show. We listen to our instincts - we listen to the voices."
