‘At home’ colleagues Lynn Van den Broeck (Viv, 29) and Mathias Vergels (Lowie,30) took advantage of the short break in the TV studios to book a hot autumnbreak. Before that, the couple went to Bakau on the Atlantic Ocean in theAfrican Gambia. In addition to being a paradise location, their boutique hotelwas also very quiet and quite intimate with only 24 rooms and above all:children not allowed.

‘Family’: minus 10,000 degrees

‘Family’ actress Sarah-Lynn Clerckx (30) enjoyed the Greek sun and made herfollowers jealous with this impressive poolside pose. Although it soundedputative in the caption: “We had to endure a temperature of minus 10,000degrees in that water to be able to take this photo, but it was worth it.”Sarah-Lynn’s program also included a visit to the archaeological site ofKnossos in Crete, considered the first city in Europe. “Since I was fourteen,my life’s mission was to see that place in real life,” she captioned theselfie.

‘Home’: just missed

What a coincidence! During the autumn break, ‘Home’ actor Christophe Haddad(Bob, 44) and his wife Sanne (40) visited Paris and shared a selfie fromMontmartre at the Sacré-Coeur Basilica. “With the love of my life in the cityof romance and beauty. It was a lovely moment alone with the two of us”, wasthe commentary accompanying the photos. However, it didn’t matter ifChristophe and Sanne were not just the two of them, but the four of them.’Home’ actress Tine Priem (Tamara, 34) posted on her socials just one daylater that she was also in Paris for her 34th birthday and judging by herphoto, she also had the Sacré-Coeur on her to-do list.

‘Family’: real family

Finn (Sam Van den Bosch, 7) has turned up in ‘Family’, the biological daughterof Rudi (Werner De Smedt, 52) who grows up in the series with a lesbiancouple. The viewer will notice few physical similarities between Rudi andFinn, but perhaps between Zjef (Jan Van den Bosch, 38) and Finn. After all,those two are family in real life, because Jan is Sam’s dad. Jan, who has beenplaying in ‘Family’ for about ten years, married his childhood sweetheart Franin 2019, whom he had known for 15 years. The two have two children together:son Lou (9) and Sam (7).

‘Home’: the three women of Lowie

Here they are in one image: Lowie’s three women (Mathias Vergels, 30) in’Thuis’. With egg donor Katrien (Lotte Van Nieuwenborgh, 35), intended parentPaulien (Tina Maerevoet, 38) and surrogate mother Tamara (Tine Priem, 34), thesingle person in his thirties hopes to see his childhood dream come true. Bob(Christophe Haddad, 44) is in the picture, because as Tamara’s husband, he isalso somewhat involved in the entire project. On social media, viewersspeculate that things will not go so smoothly and that the project will becanceled after all. Those soap fans still predict that Lowie and Viv (Lynn Vanden Broeck, 29) will form a couple again and go for a child together.

‘Home’: tie

Sometimes a scene on the TV set is shot several times and footage from thedifferent takes is used in the final editing. It is, of course, the intentionthat the chronology is respected. That doesn’t always work, as it turned outrecently in ‘Thuis’. Tom (Wim Stevens) walked into the living room, tying histie and while talking to Karin (Kadèr Gürbüz). When he came back into thepicture, his tie was completely loose and Tom got help from Karin when tying.

‘Home’: Jimmy Dewaele

Actor Yemi Oduwale (36) contributed to the storyline of Dries who had to dealwith a racist judge in ‘Thuis’. “That my character will only have to deal withracism and consciously after four years in the series,” said Yemi. “Otherwiseit would have been too obvious. I hope viewers have forgotten that Dries has adifferent skin color, because then it will come in more intense and viewerswill experience it like me. Since I’ve been on TV, it’s bothered me less, butevery now and then I’m still reminded of it. I’m trying to buy an apartmentnow, but when I tell the real estate agent my name on the phone, I often getto hear: ‘What a strange name’ and the enthusiasm on the other end oftendiminishes. When I wanted to rent, I often used the name Jimmy Dewaele. Thenit seemed afterwards, as if they had misheard me.”

‘Home’: choosing together

In ‘Thuis’ Christine is about to get married, but also in real life DaphnePaelinck (34) plans a wedding. “Randall and I have been engaged for over ayear now, but we haven’t had much time to prepare for our wedding,” saidDaphne. “In any case, I will not be an irrational and perfect bride like mycharacter in ‘Home’. That’s not the nature of the beast. Randall and I want tomake our wedding a fun party without much tralala. Outdoors and with foodtrucks. We will also choose my wedding dress together.”

‘Family’: escort

In ‘Family’, Vanessa’s secret is revealed that she used to work as an escortfor a while. “When I knew I had to play heavy scenes, I was very scared,” saysactress Karen Damen (48). “I really thought I would never be able to playthat. Until now I was almost always ‘myself’ in ‘Family’; because Vanessa is acheerful woman who likes to act silly, just like me. But such emotional anddramatic scenes are completely out of my comfort zone. I’ve been shouting fromthe rooftops for years that I absolutely love acting, now was the time toprove myself. I’ve pushed my limits, yes. It’s a great feeling to realize thatat 48 I’m still doing things I didn’t know I could do.”

wow. Tim does what Sander might want. Start your own country. Own people, ownlaws, money, flag, national anthem. Tim den Besten (35) works in six episodesof the youth series Timmyland (VPRO) to the establishment of its own empire.In the first episode on Sunday, he sat at Willem-Alexander’s desk to ask fortips for his plan. In Tim’s land, there are salons where residents can petdogs. Every Sunday a Timmy snack, half frikadel, half chicken corn with currysauce, is distributed at state expense. The idea is that Tim den Bestenhimself will be in charge of the country. As king, president, general or allat once, as long as he’s in charge. Willem-Alexander could not help him withthat, but he did arrange a visit to Mark Rutte for him. The ‘real boss’ of theNetherlands.

Sander Schimmelpenninck (38) is the sole ruler in his Twitter kingdom. Therehe can decide who of his 164k inhabitants can talk to and who can’t, but hecan’t prevent people who strongly disagree with him from grazing him in thestreet. He must, he said on Sunday evening at College Tour , sometimesrunning for his life. And claim Schiermonnikoog, like him in a tweet suggested?Then I give the plan for Timmyland more chance, which must arise on a newWadden Island to be redeveloped.

On the podium where many a world leader sat, Sander Schimmelpenninck waswelcomed as an opinion leader. The first question, always, is what the guestwas like as a student. A minimum line, Sander said. Lazy college student,confident suitor. Approaching a girl and asking, “Why do you find me soattractive?” There is so much in that one arrogant sentence. The confusion itbrings, the confidence it brings, the expectation of success that brings newsuccess.

He is the first to recognize that his success is largely based on luck ratherthan merit. Born in a prosperous country, in a good nest, with an excellenteducation. He has a ton in his bank account, two million in assets, an annualsalary of around half a million. “Too much,” he thinks. Yet he is an angryman. One that pisses from the inside inwards, says Jort Kelder about his “mini me “. He commits suicide on everything that shaped him: his noblebirth, his class, his corps past, his spoiled friends.

Student Sanne was banned

Student Sanne stood at the microphone with a question. She turned out to bebanned from Sander’s Twitter paradise because she wrote something about Sanderwho thinks flying is too cheap, but keeps flying to his girlfriend in Sweden.Sanne was then blocked by Sander. Because: “Stupidity is always a block.” Idon’t know what else happened between the two, but Sander found everythingabout it “uncomfortable on every level”, and the camera kept coming back tothe girl who was once a fan of his after her quip, until she couldn’tunderstand him anymore. . What she said was: Sander is making a series aboutthe gap between rich and poor, but is rich himself. Sander writes criticalcolumns de Volkskrant , but is still rich. Sander is left, but he remainsrich. It’s getting, she said, a little unbelievable.

Sander remained sovereign. You can, he says, be pro-money and think thatwealth should be distributed more fairly. He is not leftist, or overlyempathetic with the poorest. He is, however, “annoyed” that the economicsystem in the Netherlands is deepening the gap. Shouldn’t he go into politicshimself? “Skin in the game.” That seems to him a guarantee for even morethreat and “babble”. That’s why I say, do your own country. I know what Sanderputs on first. A new tax system that rewards work and taxes wealth.

La escena se parece a cuando Daniele De Rossi no quiso salir al campo porquehabía que remontar el partido contra Suecia que dejaría sin Mundial a la_Nazionale_. No quedaba apenas tiempo. Se necesitaba munición. Y el capitán dela Selección y de la Roma consideró, contradiciendo a su tecnico, que no erael indicado para evitar la catástrofe. “¿Yo? “Para qué coño voy a entrar sitenemos que ganar, no empatar!”, le gritaba al cuerpo técnico negándose aquitarse el chándal. Y no jugo.

Una vez al mes sueno que llega el dia del partido y Guardiola decide que seatitular. Me susurra con esa voz ronca e hipnótica que confía en mí, que alequipo le vendrá bien mi juego y que salga al campo disfrutar. “¿A disfrutarde qué?”, le respondo. E insisto tartamudeando que no está en sus cabales yque a ninguno de los dos le conviene que prospere esa idea. Guardiola, fiel así mismo, persiste. Y yo, abrochándome ya las botas, comienzo a contarle quefui a un colegio and el que estaba prohibido jugar al fútbol. El director, ledigo ya desesperado, un maniaco que se dedicó durante décadas a martirizaremocionalmente a varias generaciones, consideraba que era un deporte debarbaros incompatible con la actividad intelectual. Por su culpa, controlar unbalón con el pie es hoy para mí un desafío tan grande como lo fue para éleducar a personas normals. “¡Saca a Pedro ao Henry!”, le imploro a Guardiola.Pero no atiede a razones.

Los mejores sueños, como las mentiras, exigen pinceladas de realidad.Necesitan extraer del inconsciente algún indicio de verdad. El cerebro, sinembargo, no manda en este caso las señales correctas sobre la edad ocapacidades que uno tiene para la empresa que el hipotálamo propone mientrasroncamos a las tres de la mañana. Y sucede porque, en realidad, uno piensa quepodría seguir jugando algunos minutos de calidad en el equipo de sus sueñoshasta que los futbolistas de su quinta comienzan a jubilarse.

A mí me sucedio con Xavi. El día que se fue, de algún modo, colgamos las botaslos dos. Pero el se marchó con su familia a Qatar, y yo seguí ahí. A muchoschicos y chicas nacidos en 1987 les habra pasado con piqué. El cerebro, ese esel problema and este tipo de sueños, no tiene visión de futuro. Ni de negocio.Y se queda anclado en el periodo de jugador. Los impulsos eléctricos de laphase REM deberían sugerirnos que montásemos una tienda de deportes, como sehacia antes. O que fueramos a foguearnos como entrenadores a los EmiratosÁrabes. Incluso que fundásemos una start up molona llena de becarios con laque cambiaríamos las reglas de la copa davis, comprariamos el Andorra y luegonos separariamos de Shakira. Pero no. Nos chantajea con nuestros recuerdos. Ohcon los traumas.

The Masked Singer again attracted the most viewers on Friday evening,Stichting KijkOnderzoek reports. The RTL 4 programme, presented by RubenNicolai, was seen by an average of 2.1 million people. And the viewers wereagain wildly enthusiastic, because who is behind those masks?

At the kick-off of the new season last week, The Masked Singer also the mostwatched program of the day. Then 2.2 million people sat in front of the TVwondering which singing celebrities are in the suits. But that shouldn’t spoilthe fun, because what has been revealed in this episode?

Tigers, mummies and crabs in The Masked Singer

This season, fifteen celebrities will again compete with each other singing,but completely unrecognizable, while they are completely dressed in the mostimpressive suits. Also this week the panel duos Gerard Joling & Buddy Vedderand Carlo Boszhard & Loretta Schrijver took place in the panel of The MaskedSinger.

This week Tiger, Mermaid, Krab, Mummy and Panda performed, with the audienceand the panels going wild again. But unfortunately not everyone can go throughto the next round… So of course there is one masked singer who has to revealhimself in this episode.

The Tiger kicks off

The Tiger is allowed the second episode of The Masked Singer kick off with aperformance. Without hints, the panels have a hard time guessing who is behindthe mask: “What was the name of that actor with that big nose who was often infilms with Linda de Mol? Alex Klaasen!” Gerard Joling is already making anattempt to identify the Tiger. Maybe a few hints will help.

“The hunting season is open, and there is no one who is out of the woodstoday,” says the Tiger. “People also seem to know who I am abroad”, while aplane ticket to Antwerp can be seen. After a stunning performance by theTiger, the speculation can begin. “Maybe it’s a dancer”, Loretta Schrijverwonders. Carlo Boszhard thinks Jeroen van Koningsbrugge is hiding in theTiger’s suit, but of course he doesn’t get a clear answer.

‘I would have liked to continue’

The Mummy received the fewest votes, so the mask had to be removed after acrushing performance and a sing-off with the Mermaid. Panel member BuddyVedder was soon right, maybe Toine van Peperstraten is behind the mask. Andthat turned out to be true. “I am especially disappointed that I was no longerallowed to showcase,” says Van Peperstraten after the unmasking. “I would haveliked to have continued. I’m not a real singer, so I thought: does it soundgood? But I am satisfied with the end result. I secretly hoped that no onewould recognize it.” Unfortunately, he was unmasked. Van Peperstraten got thehang of singing: “It tastes like more.”

It was also enjoyed from the couch The Masked Singer. Viewers massivelyshare their speculations about the participants.

De nada le valió los muy buenos minutos en tareas ofensivas con SilviaArderius al frente, nombrada MVP del encuentro. La madrileña había aterrizadoen Macedonia hacia unas horas para suplir a la lesionada Alicia Fernández,salió después del intermedio y España bailó a su son. Si podia correr, lohacia. Si no, buscaba a la pivote, a Lysa Tchaptched ao Kaba Gassama. Se llegóa poner dos arriba la selección (23-25) a falta de seis minutos and plenointercambio de golpes. Pero justo ahí sufrió pérdidas y fallos en ataque quela condujeron a su desenlace del que salió muy mal parada. Fue Bazaliu lajusticiera de España con su tercer tanto en cuatro intentos. Una derrota quevuelve a empinar el camino de España en el torneo. Le restan dos duelos, estedomingo contra Países Bajos y el miércoles ante Francia, dos cocos de primera,y no le queda otra que rascar dos victorias para aspirar a las semifinales.Una empresa muy complicada.

De entrada, fueron dos veteranas las que empezaron marcando el paso: lapoderosa Pintea (32 años) en los seis metros y Neagu (34) por fuera. Dosclasicas del balonmano femenino que tomaron una ventaja de tres dianas alinicio (6-3). Pero España se ajustó pronto. No había malas sensaciones en labanda de José Ignacio Prades. Wiggins paraba mucho, y solo le faltaba algo deacierto and ataque y cortar las heridas de las pérdidas. Se fue adaptando a loque necesitaba y después del intermedio cosió grandes minutos en ataque, loque tanto le ha costado and este campeonato. Sin embargo, la portería se frenóy terminó castigada en el ultimo aliento.

If your keyboard, smartphone or TV breaks, you often unceremoniously replaceit with a new one. Easy, but not exactly sustainable. Why do we actually dothat? And how do you change that behaviour?

More than 50 million tons of electronic devices were thrown away worldwide in2019, according to the Global E-waste Monitor 2020 of the United Nations.That equates to about 7 kilos of electronic waste or e-waste per person.Scientists who prepared the report expect this amount to rise to about 74 tonsby 2030.

How much e-waste do we produce per year?

Most e-waste is generated in Asia: 25 million tons. That is as much as thewaste in Europe and America combined. Nevertheless, Europe leads the list whenit comes to the number of kilograms of devices thrown away per person, namely:16.2 kilograms. At 21.6 kilos, the Netherlands is far above the Europeanaverage.

Most of that huge amount is landfilled, incinerated or illegally dumped. Onlyone sixth of all discarded electronic devices is recycled. While there aremany places where you can hand them in. Or, even more durable, where you canget them repaired. Why do we find it so difficult to hand in electronics?Milieu Centraal has had independent research done on this for years. ExpertMariska Joustra explains the main reasons.

Mariska Joustra of Central Environment

Why do we produce so much electronic waste?

1. **We are surrounded by buying incentives ** “Wherever you go, we are surrounded by buying incentives. In addition, manypeople like to buy something new.”

2. **Buying something new is easier ** “For a repair you have to make an effort: find out which part is broken,order it and then figure out how to install it. If you can’t do it yourself,you have to find someone who can. In the meantime you can’t use the device Anew purchase takes less time and you can often have it delivered to your hometoo.”

3. **We have forgotten how to fix ** “We lack the knowledge to carry out repairs ourselves. And because we canbuy a new appliance in no time, we no longer delve into it. That is a shame,because many ‘broken’ appliances are not broken at all. Coffee makers, forexample often do it again after they have been descaled.”

4. We don ‘t know where to go “There are many repair cafés where you can go with a device that refuses toserve. Although the number of visitors is increasing, not everyone knows whereto find them. The same applies to return points for broken electronics.”

5. **We find repairing scary ** “People often find a repair scary. Imagine that the product breaks againshortly after the repair? And what about the warranty after such a repair?”

6. **Repairing is (often) expensive ** “VAT on labor is high. That is why the repair of a vacuum cleaner orwashing machine often costs a lot of money. If the purchase of a new productis only slightly more expensive, people often refrain from repairing it.”

This is how you reduce your e-waste

It is striking that recent research by Motivaction shows that we do want to dobetter: four out of five people consider maintenance and economical use ofthings important. How do we change our mindset, and do we actually act on it?

1. Take good care of your electronic devices. As a result, they last much longer. 2. Don’t throw away a broken device, but take it to a repair café in your area. Or search online for videos on how to fix it yourself. This is possible with Jafix or iFixit, for example. Or call a technician. 3. Bring devices that you no longer use to the thrift store or sell them online via, for example, Marktplaats. Exception: old refrigerators, freezers and dryers often consume so much electricity that it is better to hand them in for recycling. 4. Also hand in broken devices for recycling. That is almost always possible at the place where they sell similar items. This also applies to old washing machines and dishwashers, which the supplier of the new product will dispose of for you. 5. Take large appliances that are not replaced to the recycling center. An overview of return points can be found on Wecycle. 6. If you need a new electronic device, take a look at a used or refurbished one.

For the main characters from the acclaimed HUMAN TV documentary Classes ithas been four years since a camera crew began to closely follow their livesfor a year. The series, which made the struggles surrounding inequality ofopportunity in education tangible through the eyes of students, teachers andadministrators in Amsterdam-Noord, became a hit.

About 5 million viewers sympathized with Gianny, the boy who saw the youthprison from the inside at the age of 13, and with master Thijs, who went togreat lengths to get him on the right path. We saw the quiet Esma (11) whofell victim to years of subpar education at her school, the ambitious Vera(12) who wanted to get better than her parents and enrolled in the benefitclass. Younes (15) had to learn to function again in the education systemafter five years of sitting at home, Evy (15) struggled with the high demandsshe imposed on herself at school, while Tama (15) especially her mother’s highdemands like a hot breath. felt her neck – she herself preferred to dance allday.

__ How would all those children be doing now? NRC spoke to three of theseries’ many protagonists: Anyssa, Viggo and Yunuscan. __

Anyssa (14): ‘That period was a low point in my life’

‘I’m doing well,’ says Anyssa from a bench in the auditorium of the Over YCollege. She is fourteen years old now, but in her talking and thinking italready seems like a young woman.

Anyssa, 11 years old at the time, formed in Classes a heartwarming duo withher grandfather. Together they drank a milkshake in his red microcar, or drovearound on his scooter, she wedged between Grandpa and the steering wheel. Andjust chat, all the way from home to school and from school to home. Becausethat’s where Anyssa lived, with her grandfather and grandmother in Amsterdam-Noord. She and her grandfather belonged together ‘like jut and jul’, summed upthe voice-over aptly. “Of all the people on earth, she loves him the most.”

But Anyssa’s story was also that of the food and clothing bank, of sometimesnot bringing food to school, of a child in grade eight who had to take care ofher sick grandfather. The viewer saw a girl who always smiled, but lived inuncertainty at home: did she stay with her grandparents in Noord, or did shego back to her mother in West?

Halfway through the eighth grade, Anyssa no longer finished a piece, saw MissJolanda, who was also Anyssa’s guardian angel. She just failed. Her highschool advice was slipping. According to Miss Jolanda it was “way too much inAnyssa’s head”, while she had so much to offer. “If this also happens nextyear, she won’t make it the first year,” feared her teacher. The further thatimportant final school year progressed, the harder it got for Anyssa. Hergrandfather died, her grandmother kicked her out of the house. “Sooner orlater it will be all right,” she said with that smile again, as she stood inthe street among her things.

Anyssa with her grandfather excerpt from the TV series Classes in 2020.

Three years later, Anyssa looks back on that time with mixed feelings.Fortunately, she’s doing well now. Since she moved back in with her motherthree years ago, her life has moved into calmer waters. Finally it was time torest and make a fresh start at a new school.

She is in 3rd high school and works very hard. She still wants to be a primaryschool teacher, just like in the series. So to the Pabo, and if nothing crazyhappens, she will get it with flying colors. Anyssa dances hip-hop and reads alot, about a book a month, in English. „ I speak English almost fluentlysince I was ten, didn ‘t you know that?”, she says with a neat accent. „ Myaunt is Scottish, she taught me. ” Anyssa is a language person, French is herfavorite subject. She often gets bored with English, although last week shelearned a word that could come in handy: bridge wall an arched bridge over amoat.

Anyssa is glad she’s not in the spotlight as much as she was when the seriesaired. Then people often stared at her, on the street and on the tram. Shehadn’t imagined in advance that her entire private life would suddenly be onthe street and the series would be watched as far as America. “I knew nothingabout all those people, and they knew everything about me.” But looking back,Anyssa’s life in real life was less rosy than it sometimes seemed in theseries.

“I can no longer empathize with that little girl from back then,” she says.“That period was a low point in my life. It was actually quite pathetic, but Icouldn’t see it myself.” In reality, caring for Anyssa was hard. “Everymorning I woke up with the fear that my grandfather might die.” And she wasoften at odds with her grandmother. When the series came out, about a yearafter the last filming, Anyssa was again confronted with that difficultperiod, and with the images of her grandfather that she missed so much. “I didnot expect that the end result would have such an impact on me. But now thatI’m three years older I can look at the series with a different eye. Now Ithink, yes, it was. And now it’s different.”

She still texts regularly with Miss Jolanda.

Viggo (14): ‘My VWO wish was magnified a bit on TV’

Viggo, now 14, was in Classes , to put it bluntly, a symbol for the smartchildren of highly educated parents, for schools where the class photos arelight blond and a pre-university education recommendation is more the rulethan the exception. Viggo’s story was that of high expectations aboutcitoscores and high school advice.

At least, looking back, that is what the makers, according to him and hisparents, “had magnified a lot”. The viewer saw the then 11-year-old Viggo andhis classmates in groups in the classroom, shouting, cheering. “What advice doyou have? vwo? Nice man! Me too!”

The flip side of this also became visible: a group of friends on a rainy dayin the dugout of the football field. Havo-vwo advice is also okay, his friendstried to reassure Viggo. He didn’t seem convinced himself. The highestattainable, that was always the best, wasn’t it? He wanted to be apathologist, like his father, or an architect. Had he already squandered hisfuture at age 11?

Three years later, that tension is hardly noticeable anymore. Viggo is arelaxed teenager and reached the third grade of the havo unscathed. When askedwhat he wants to be when he grows up, he now no longer has a direct answer, hecan still see it; and he seems to like that attitude.

Viggo (center) with classmates in the series.

He’s sitting at the same kitchen table in the same bright living room inDurgerdam where we put him in Classes often saw. His mother pours tea andhis father pulls up in his tracksuit. It is Sunday afternoon and the hockeygames are already over. Viggo, his two brothers and his father all play at thesame club.

The tense eighth grade boy seems to have disappeared, or perhaps only existedin the reality of Classes. He can’t stay awake from the hockey game henarrowly lost that morning. If only he could move. Gym is his favorite subjectat school, all his maths and German are also doable.

Viggo likes high school life. He seems to be sailing through it calmly: doinga little homework and especially meeting a lot with friends. Now and then hebabysits his brothers or children in the neighbourhood, but he doesn’t have tofill serious shelves yet. Viggo would rather whistle a hockey match for thatmoney.

In Classes we heard Viggo shout that he “didn’t want to go to a cultureschool”, but deep down he is quite creative. Before he takes his electricVanMoof bicycle out of the shed to race to his babysitting address, he wantsto play a little tune on the piano in the living room. A piano teacher visitsevery weekend. Viggo first practices for half an hour, then his brother andthen the teacher continues to the neighbors. Previously, Viggo had classicalpiano lessons, which he didn’t like. But his current teacher is a singer-songwriter and now he’s learning to play chords. “I think that’s fat.” __

Yunuscan (14): ‘I have become stronger, mentally and physically’

Whoever thinks of Yunuscan, melts after two years Classes still a little.The then 11-year-old student of teacher Astrid was the apple of the series’eye. For him, group eight would be a defining year: could he maintain theupward trend that he unexpectedly started in group seven and be able to go tosecondary school, or was his language deficit too great? No matter how hard hetried, coming from a Turkish family where hardly any Dutch was spoken at thetime, he was immediately 2-0 behind in school. At home it was often too busyto do homework, with all the uncles, aunts, nieces and nephews on the floor.

In a touching scene in Classes we saw Yunuscan brush up on his vocabulary onthe internet late at night. On the rare occasions when it was quiet in thehouse, he crawled behind the computer for his homework. For example, when thewhole family went to a Turkish wedding, or when they went to pray. “You onlylive once,” he said then, Miss Astrid’s stern words fresh in his mind. “So youhave to do it right now.”

Three years later, Yunuscan is a few heads taller, his voice an octave lower,but his motivation to develop himself remains as strong as ever. He wears agray flat cap, inspired by his favorite series, Peaky Blinders. If it’s upto him, there will soon be a shirt, suspenders, squeak and long black coat.His mother nods in approval, in the background his sister laughs at him.

Yunuscan with his mother and teacher talking at school.

“I have become stronger, mentally and physically,” Yunuscan says as his motherserves an extensive lunch. He refers to a scene in Classes in which a policeofficer and an ex-con come to school to give the children resilience training.There, Yunuscan bursts into tears in front of all his classmates when he saysthat he and his friends are sometimes harassed by other boys. “That’s when Irealized I had to get stronger. Later in high school there would be no oneleft to help me.” Yunuscan left his “bad” friends behind and left for highschool alone with his best friend. He does outside pull ups inside he isworking hard on his future.

Yunuscan did a two-year first grade and is now in the third grade of the mavo.His favorite subjects are gym and mathematics (“I have a Turkish teacher, heunderstands me”). He is resolute about his future dream: to earn as much moneyas possible as soon as possible, so that his mother can retire. She has had aclothing repair shop in Zaandam for a year and a half and beams when she talksabout it. Her Dutch has improved by leaps and bounds since she talks to mostlyDutch clients all day long. But she works hard, six days a week, ten hours aday. “Sometimes I think: if only I were the eldest,” says Yunuscan, as thesmallest brother of two sisters and the only man in the house. “Then I wouldbe even better in life” – he thinks it’s sad for his mother that she has towork so hard.

Instead, his sister takes care of him. She will soon start training to becomea BOA and inspired Yunuscan to join the police as well. „But as a backup planI want a e-commerce start a business,” he says. “You don’t need any trainingfor that. You can take an online course for 2,000 euros.”

The series has done Yunuscan well: a homework supervisor who saw him on TV sawpotential in the boy and offered his help. Since then, this ‘coach’ hasvisited every Tuesday. He helps Yunuscan with his homework, prepares him foradult life and together they have “man talk”. „He makes me ready for thenext step to adulthood,” says Yunuscan, “like a big brother.”

Aaron Carter never knew an ordinary childhood. He was only nine years old whenhis first studio album came out. The singer, who struggled with addictions foryears, died this weekend at the age of 34. No one could help him. How thesweet child star grew into a troubled thirty-something.

“Ik dacht dat ik wel dood zou zijn voor mijn dertigste”, zei Carter vijf jaargeleden in een interview. De zanger was destijds net dertig jaar oud en had deafkickkliniek enkele dagen ervoor verlaten.

Het was niet de eerste of de laatste keer dat de muzikant hulp zocht voor zijnverslavingen. In totaal liet hij zich vijf keer opnemen, in de hoop alcohol-en drugsgebruik nu echt achter zich te laten. Het recentst nog in september.

In 1997 debuteert hij op negenjarige leeftijd met zijn album Aaron Carter.Op dat album staat onder andere Crush On You , origineel een nummer van TheJets. Het bescheiden hitje van de groep wordt in handen van Carter en zijn dannog zeer hoge stem een wereldwijde hit.

Ook het album scoort goed. In zestien landen belandt Aaron Carter in de top50 van meest verkochte albums. In Nederland tikt hij de 36e plaats aan.

Voorprogramma van Britney Spears

Er volgen vele hoogtepunten in de carrière van Carter, nog voor hij volwassenis. Op zijn dertiende heeft hij al drie goed verkochte albums op zijn naamstaan en heeft hij al in het voorprogramma van Britney Spears opgetreden.

Een jaar later – hij is dan veertien jaar oud – volgt een nieuwe piek: Carterstaat op het podium met artiesten als Missy Elliott, Gladys Knight en LizaMinnelli op een feest ter ere van Michael Jacksons dertigjarige jubileum alsartiest.

In die tijd gaat hij ook acteren: hij krijgt een rolletje in de Nickelodeon-serie All That en heeft een kleine gastrol in Lizzie McGuire. In die tijdwordt voor het eerst ook uitgebreid geschreven over zijn privéleven, omdat dezanger een relatie krijgt met Hilary Duff, die dan net als hij slechts dertienjaar oud is.

Temporary stop to music career

When Carter is fifteen, his music career comes to a temporary end. His parentsare suing manager Lou Pearlman. Pearlman would have been guilty ofmismanagement, the judge ruled in cases brought by the members of NSync andthe Backstreet Boys (band of his brother Nick). Aaron Carter’s case never goesto trial as the parties come to an agreement.

At about the same time, attention to his private life increases: the on-again,off-again relationship he has had with Duff since he was thirteen, only reallycomes to an end three years later.

That doesn’t happen until Carter reveals that he’s also dating Lindsay Lohan,during the months when his relationship with Duff is off. The love trianglebetween three of the most famous child stars of the time keeps the tabloidsbusy and causes an argument between the two actresses.

Years later, Carter returns to the relationship when he throws out somestrange tweets in 2014. “Don’t be such a jerk like me and don’t lose the loveof your life. As happened to me,” Carter said. At that time it is alreadyclear that the singer is not doing well. He first checked into rehab in 2011.

‘I have a lot of trauma’

“My life was tough. I have had a lot of trauma, have known a lot of loss andhave been very lonely,” says the singer in conversation with Us Weekly in2017.

“I have post-traumatic stress disorder. I couldn’t go to school as a child, Ididn’t have friends my own age and if I had them, they weren’t allowed to comeover. I just worked and flew around the world. I was lonely, even though Iperformed for millions of people.”

He revived his music career in 2018 with the album love , but the heyday islong behind him by then. The media mainly talks about his mental problems.

Family requests restraining order

In 2019, Carter says he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.At the same time, his brother and sister notice that Aaron Carter’s behaviordoes not change. The singer threatens his relatives with death and so they seeno other way out than requesting a restraining order.

Carter hopes to rearrange his life until the very end. At the end of October,he reports in a message that he has put his second house up for sale and wantsto focus on his 11-month-old son. “This has been a very difficult year, but Ihave learned a lot. Thank you for your support.”
