Rory: “Do not cease working”
Run Operating GIFGiphy
Pointon: “The opposite day I grunted when choosing up my keys from the desk. If I did not cease working, I would die. Rory has gone for the Forrest Gump strategy right here. It appeared to work for him. Forrest that’s. I’ve seen Rory run into a number of timber. Persistent tho.”
Rory may be working into timber, however some spot-on views on life as nicely.
JJ: “Solely be buddies with individuals who you wish to be buddies with”
Mates Hug GIF by MOODMANGiphy
Pointon: “This will get forgotten about in adults. Generally we’re buddies with folks out of comfort or historical past. Go searching and ask your self, “does this particular person positively impression my life?”. JJ has his head screwed on.”
JJ understands the worth of genuine friendship. And, as Pointon mirrored, setting boundaries and letting go is one thing so many adults battle with, although there are numerous sources noting its significance.
Jack: “You would possibly [get] advised off however generally you are not doing something improper”
Mike D Response GIF by Beastie BoysGiphy
Pointon: “His anti-authority angle is refreshing as it’s scary. He is proper tho. Battle for what you consider in and it is by no means improper. Though Jack believes he can again flip over a lorry, so I do not know.”
What’s a lorry, you could ask? Seems it’s a British time period for an 18-wheeler. I didn’t know both.
Ravi: “Some folks haven’t got something so be glad you may have every thing”

Pointon: “We actually are within the presence of greatness. There are world leaders with out this readability. Step again and have a look at what we take with no consideration, you may be amazed. Ravi elevates folks round him. He is a particular lad.”
I consider this was a significant theme that “Don’t Look Up” was making an attempt to convey. Properly accomplished, Ravi.
Lola: “You possibly can’t swim in a sink however a shower is only a huge sink”
cat water GIFGiphy
Pointon: “I consider she’s speaking about perspective. One particular person’s child step is one other’s large leap. Lola strikes at her tempo and is pleased with the folks round her shifting at theirs. In any other case you may lose a one horse race.”
I’m gonna assume Lola can also be a proponent of the “simply hold swimming” mentality.
Emma: “The individuals who do not speak, nonetheless have one thing to say”
a lot to say julia michaels GIF by Noah KahanGiphy
Pointon: “Empty vessels makes essentially the most noise. Emma is quiet and has grown in confidence since I’ve identified her. She is an advocate for letting folks be themselves. A real girl of her time. She’ll make a wonderful chief.”
Hear, hear for quiet confidence, Emma.
Belle: “Flowers stay within the floor, we stay in a home. Everybody lives someplace.”
Pbs Nature Flowers GIF by Nature on PBSGiphy
Pointon: “It is an enormous, overwhelming idea to assume each particular person lives an equally advanced and wealthy life as you. Understanding that everybody is coming from one thing make[s] you see we’re all the identical. One staff.”
A lesson in empathy, taught by Belle.
Mikey: “Mud hills are enjoyable but additionally muddy”
track kids GIF by Lily’s Pretty SongsGiphy
Pointon: “I would by no means heard of the time period “mud hill” however I assumed it is a hill, that’s muddy. I used to be improper. It’s mainly a pile of mud mashed up and used to throw at vehicles or folks…So if you happen to see a boy holding a mud ball with a devilish grin, run.”
No such factor pretty much as good, clear enjoyable, in keeping with Mikey.
Zahra: “Some issues are cool and a few issues aren’t”
Cat Meals Wow GIF by Morris the 9Lives CatGiphy
Pointon: “There isn’t any messing about with Zahra. A lady of precision. She wished so as to add that if you happen to discover issues cool, then it’s. Which in itself is a reasonably cool factor to say. In the event you get pleasure from one thing, do not let different[s] carry you down.”
Zahra is clearly the Queen of Cool.
Susanna: “Do not begin a hearth in a forrest”
Assume Solely You GIF by US Nationwide ArchivesGiphy
Pointon: “I take this as, understanding your scenario and objectively having the ability to know what’s benefitting you and what is not. However Susanna confirmed that there is no such thing as a subtext. Simply do not begin fires in forrests as a result of it goes whoosh, okay.”
I additionally love how Pointon was loyal to Susanna’s spelling of the phrase “forrest.” That dedication proper there.
In line with indy100, Pointon protects the id of his younger pupils by utilizing made-up aliases. However reassured, the solutions offered are all too actual.
Pointon advised indy100, “College can generally make you assume fairly linear, like there are solely proper or improper solutions however, particularly with them being so younger, their ideas are literally actually summary.”
Ardour, function, and a splash of social media stardom have allowed Pointon to assist elevate consciousness round kids’s points. Final November he labored with the Anti-Bullying Alliance, asking the query “what makes you distinctive?”
For Zahra, it was her two totally different eye colours. For Susanna, it was the truth that she might match 100 grapes in her mouth (Pointon isn’t so certain, however encouraging nonetheless).
Pointon hopes to work with much more charities, utilizing his platform to “have conversations with kids about issues that must be spoken about, or issues which can be happening on the earth and get their standpoint on issues.”
Within the meantime, you may catch all of Pointon’s considerate questions, alongside together with his college students’ endearing and sensible solutions, on Twitter.
