I have been confronted in my work with boys with the song. A few boys have the song on the phone, the text almost by heart and can play it again and again. What to do now so that educational?
have respect for the subject of boys is slightly tweeted and done practically very hard sometimes. For what do I do if the subject is the young of this song? Actually, this is not
and is prohibited. But: What will the boys? How seriously I take it with them?
self-reflection: What triggers it for me?
I sat down, I listened to the text and considered what he throws at me. The boy in me is delighted with the absurd text. I understand the joy of the depreciation of very good - "You're ugly, really sick." This one could do on it, have someone there to say so in the face.
As Young workers, so as an adult, I realize that the text breaking the boundaries of good taste, clearly targeted to the devaluation of others and therefore really can not be tolerated. In addition, he is also musically really bad.
only: He is one of the boys, so they must have a meaning. This is the theme of the boys with whom I just stand in relationship.
be a victim!
After reflection I was not quite clear how I position myself to the song. The solution to my problem was this time in practice:
When the boys once again took place and the song she taught him mitrappten exactly the boy in the group can effectively defend themselves against it. I observed this situation and knew the moment the function of the song for the boys in the group: devaluation or appreciation from others to their own motto:
As long as I'm another victim, I myself am not one.
Am I ugly? Am I a "real" boy?
The song is a tool for the boys to represent masculinity. He has an important social function in the young group. The rapper put the devaluation, all boys, each of them personally and know that they face every day themselves. Equipped with its own (at least potential) victims experience is the song the boy is a perfect opportunity to own fears externalize, so to conform to the outside - DU are ugly "-. I do not
My intervention at this moment was is to make clear that I finished making the boy do not tolerate. I have asked the boy to say what he does not want. He could not express it, I have sided with him. Later, said one of the boys, who observed the whole, that the boy was close to tears.
would further focus attention on it now certainly important to the boys as they relate to the song itself. What do you want to show with the song from you? Are you afraid to be ugly? What is it exactly? The braces, which are thick, the broken gear?
What would be the responses of buddies?
