Don t let them in by kathleen elle original anti bullying song
Education and career
She graduated from East Brunswick High School, located in East Brunswick Township, New Jersey, in 2015.
"Mean Stinks" contest
Elle won the 2013 Seventeen magazine and Secret deodorant "Mean Stinks" contest with her anti-bullying song "Don't Let Them In". Seventeen and Secret had joined forces to create the contest in an effort to banish girl-to-girl bullying.
Winners received a free trip to New York City, New York, and the opportunity to star in a video. Elle's video was filmed in the Hearst Tower in New York City, home of Seventeen's offices.
She wrote the song because, "I wanted to let people know not to let in bullies in the first place," "They are looking for that reaction, but if you don't let them know they bother you, they move on." Some of the song's lyrics are, “The harder you try, the harder you fall / it's not gonna help you out at all / don’t let 'em in, don't let 'em in / don't let 'em break your heart."
She received a standing ovation when she performed the song at the East Brunswick Performing Arts Center.
Scholarship
In 2015, she won an Abercrombie & Fitch Anti-Bullying Scholarship Award, an award created as part of its global anti-bullying campaign. The program was established by Abercrombie & Fitch Co. and the National Society of High School Scholars Foundation (NSHSS). The scholarships are awarded to high school seniors who thrive academically despite bullying, and to student anti-bullying activists. She completed against nearly 1,500 other students for one of ten awards.
Album
Elle's debut extended-play album "Helium" is available for purchase on her website www.kathleenelle.com/music.
