She used that personal milestone to reflect on what the late teenager never got the chance to experience.

Beyond her personal reflection, DJ Switch used the platform to push back against attitudes that minimise bullying as harmless behaviour among young people. She was firm in her position that children should never be made to feel unsafe simply by going to school.

She called for a shift in how society addresses bullying, rejecting the notion that it can be written off as ordinary childhood conduct.

Her remarks have added to a broader public conversation around child safety and the circumstances surrounding Javits' death, with several celebrities and public figures also weighing in on the tragedy.

She closed her tribute with words that captured the essence of her grief:
