You will be very happy to know that my son's class made a buddy bench in their school in Kuwait this year. It works wonderfully and was featured in their yearly show as well. You are quite the inspiration young man! Thank you for spreading your idea.
Charlie you are really a great inspiration. I did listen. I listened carefully and a young friend of my daughter also shared with me that she is lonely in school. Hence I am determined to introduce your idea to our local school here in South Germany. You rock!
@@forrtress5001 he can make other big things as long as he wants, because he can and all of us also can. Plus, why are you talking about him like that..🤔
Inspiring talk Charlie! Every time I see the Buddy Bench at Trinity Beach State School I smile. Even when it's empty, it's empty because all the kids have someone to play with.
brilliant! I was touched. I cried happy tears. I wish I had a buddy bench growing up in public school. I LOVE this idea! I want to introduce the Buddy bench to the kids schools. God bless Charlie and his parents!
I love this talk, I'm homeschooled so it make it hard to make friends sometimes, but from my perspective you don't need everyone one in the world to be friends with you. I may have very few friends. But the ones that I do have, were great friends. we get along well, we keep in touch with each other, we can relate to each other. I love this talk, I think there should more buddy bench's. Not just in Australia, but a round The world.
Charlie Cooper you are an inspiration to all and a true little innovator, your story made me cry, but this is something that is worth spreading and not only here in Australia for schools all around the world to adopt this great initiative and call it Charlie's Buddy Bench!
I am so happy he came up with the idea of a "Buddy Bench". It would be so nice to see this in all schools. Just for children to enjoy some small talk or even to relax and get to know peers. Sure, now it may be difficult for children to make friends because of the over involvement in technology but schools could definitely, have a place where children put away all the gizmos and gadgets and 'chill-out'. Brilliant idea.
Hello Charlie, We watched your video today in class, my students were inspired to come with similar ideas to make a big difference in school! Thank you for your spark!
I would love to implement this beautiful idea in my sleepover summer camp. I would love to connect with Charlie Cooper to send a video message to our campers about the buddy bench! Charlie, you're brilliant and your simple yet profound idea is expanding throughout the world! Thank you.
Great talk Charlie! I love how you thought about what you could to make yourself feel better; and in the process you have helped other children make connections, and think about making friendships with others. Sometimes a simple hello can start a great friendship, or a nice chat to feel more connected to people. Well done.
What a powerful talk Charlie! And, what a powerful idea... You have eliminated so much pain with this creative idea, and with your excellent leadership. I'm glad that the world has you!
Good on you mate. Nice to have met you out at JCU. I wish you well with your schooling. You may not have realised it but you have had 61,965 folks view your talk. From little things big things grow. Keep up your great work. Cheers Dave
1.His problems at 6 year old were in making friends, and then he found out he needs glasses, which still didn't help him with his confidence, and he was bullied 2. The bench idea is for if someone is alone and decides to sit on the bench, the other kids know he's alone and can invite him to play with them so he won't be alone
This is an interesting topic that contributes a lot to the over all involvement of the people in all activities and shows that every one can initiate and every one is good in way or other so this young wise boy is amazing.
ayo charlie wherever u are hope u doin good bro, these kids who bullied you need to get a beating in the head dont worry when they face reality well teach em a lesson knock sum sense into them
I would have never come up with such an idea growing up in India, where we have the opposite problem, that is lack of personal space ;) Jokes apart, Buddy bench is indeed a cool idea to "beat loneliness and make friends" :)
but in india, a lot of places have a lot of crazy children, mostly boys, and the children who are somewhat less crazy have nobody to play with. in certain parts of india, there are schools where smart people are laughed at and idiots are normal. so this bench thing could acually work there too.
Yes. When I went to school we had a dunce cap and sat in a corner to be humiliated. I learned not to trust teachers and/or authority; and much much more of the ilk.
In these times, peple get lonely because of schools, jobs, etc. That's great idea to eliminate loneliness in schools. Because schools are the core of loneliness what we complain about.
This idea could change schools I think it’s great but the down side is people wouldn’t listen to the rules but really it’s a good idea Charlie and how could ours school help?
I love this idea, but Australian school kids are fucken brutal. There was this girl in our year/grade who had leukaemia, so she had to shave her hair. Some people bullied her because of that, and they bullied her so much, that she had to move schools. I hope that bench doesn't get vandalised. Lovely kid
this is NOT a Ted Conference. This is a Tedx event. The criteria is you have an idea that is worth spreading. When we started organising this, Charlie stood out because he had a personal story which he initiated in his school and the community.
If my school had a stool I would be sitting on it every day even because nobody likes me and if a teacher tried to force someone to play with me I would refuse because nobody should have to be forced to play with someone they don't like
agreed, I used to make "fake friends", as in people just to hang out with to keep bullies away. sitting on a buddy bench would just scream "I have no friends!" at the world, so bullies would know nobody's got your back, but, he did say there are teachers monitoring it so...
anyone else here for an English class or something like it
Yup
Yeees
yup

Imagine 🤭 if all children had the same opportunity
You were ace Charlie.
This is just his first success. Imagine what he'll figure out when he's older! Bless him!
nothing really, hes in my grade. Kinda lost his mojo
@@forrtress5001
Nah, I'm sure he gonna de something big:), he can.
@@freepalestinehaveagreatday6843 the only big thing hes done was working in maccas
@@forrtress5001
he can make other big things as long as he wants, because he can and all of us also can. Plus, why are you talking about him like that..🤔
My heart melts for this child and anyone that has had to go through isolation.
5 years later
That’s my cousin!
@@tobymosbauer1695 Brave guy :)

Such a cute kid!!!
I love his sensitivity and willingness to help other lonely kids. Bravo
He is my Class has that buddy bench because my teacher showed me this
@josh0482 josh0482 Tough guy over here
I agree.He is cute!!!
Inspiring talk Charlie! Every time I see the Buddy Bench at Trinity Beach State School I smile. Even when it's empty, it's empty because all the kids have someone to play with.
It's empty because teachers don't let you sit on it
lol
children like you are why i want to be a teacher. you are such a sweet little angel

Beautiful impressive amazing child. Inspiring. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true. Every thing is possible !
You are an incredible being Charlie Cooper! The world needs more people like you. ❤
i live in america and my old school had a buddy bench. what a great idea from such a small kid! i would’ve never thought of that. good job :)
how can anyone dislike this kid??
way to go, buddy!!
The young boy still has lots to learn and that’s perfectly fine! Young speaker - 9 years of age already has his own Ted Talk!

Every school needs a buddy bench. I taught for 32years and this is a great idea!
Cool he really shared a lot of his feelings

I try to make a deference in my school by inspiring kids and play with kids that are lonely
Wow. Amazing, kid, amazing.
This is an interesting topic that contributes a lot to the over all involvement of the people in all activities and shows that every one can initiate and every one is good in way or other so this young wise boy is amazing.
This is a very powerful ideal it made me cry
This is sooo incredibly inspirational!!
This made a big difference for me!
IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A FREINDSHIP BENCH EVERYWHERE
No
Beautiful idea and your idea is worth sharing and spreading :-)
You are an amazing kiddo Charlie🌈

Wow this is amazing!
One of the elementary schools here in my area of TN has these! And they are inscribed with "Buddy Bench" on them. :0)
oh, such a cute boy. his speech is worth listening
Brilliant idea! Charlie, you rock! What about buddy benches in public places for everyone?
Well done Charlie!
What a sweet boy
It's amazing😊

Good video and great in depth
At my school, we have a bench used for ‘detention’
Yes. When I went to school we had a dunce cap and sat in a corner to be humiliated. I learned not to trust teachers and/or authority; and much much more of the ilk.

I like this talk🎉
It was very good and inspiring: keep up🤗
I saw a school start building it, but never started it. Too bad, it could help.
This idea could change schools I think it’s great but the down side is people wouldn’t listen to the rules but really it’s a good idea Charlie and how could ours school help?
Great idea, Charlie.
This kid is so cute!
I get the feeling that he wanted the idea to be spread, because it was worth spreading. Right?
my old elementary has one thank you
this is so good
such a beautiful idea!
Super adorable.
This kid is a god 🙏
Awesome !
Great idea.
Wow lil heart..thats awesomee
The Buddy bench is a great idea.
I love this idea, but Australian school kids are fucken brutal. There was this girl in our year/grade who had leukaemia, so she had to shave her hair. Some people bullied her because of that, and they bullied her so much, that she had to move schools. I hope that bench doesn't get vandalised. Lovely kid
you`re a great kidow
Its a good idea, but having gone to 2 school with what we called "the buddy bench", no one every sat there and it was ignored
Beautiful 👌👌
I have a friendship seat at my school!!
so, the question is, after the talk he went and sat on that bench, did the adults join him?? did someone in the public join him??
He's adorable. I'm a year older than him.
OMG Charlie!!!!!!! You were so young 😂
I used to go to Trinity Beach State School.
Okay it is official, anyone can present a Ted conference.
this is NOT a Ted Conference. This is a Tedx event. The criteria is you have an idea that is worth spreading. When we started organising this, Charlie stood out because he had a personal story which he initiated in his school and the community.
i have a buddy bench at my school
You're a great person, Charlie! :)
I love lego too
I would like to know what he is doing now.
If my school had a stool I would be sitting on it every day even because nobody likes me and if a teacher tried to force someone to play with me I would refuse because nobody should have to be forced to play with someone they don't like
Good Job. A lot of kids that age would be peeing their pants with something like that!
great job Charlie!!!
This kid goes to my school
lol he was in my class 2 years ago hey charlie! Remember me?
キラキラ女の子! Who are you I don't know
Tell me if this makes no sense: Makes a world of difference half a world away.

I dont think this would work... bcoz bullies would throw paper balls at you and make fun of you if you don't have friends..
agreed, I used to make "fake friends", as in people just to hang out with to keep bullies away. sitting on a buddy bench would just scream "I have no friends!" at the world, so bullies would know nobody's got your back, but, he did say there are teachers monitoring it so...
Wow.. your dumb...
ı wish ı were his friend..
Wait until you meet him nowadays 😳
