Bret Easton Ellis

But I like a little bullying, a dusting of bullying, a hint of bullying because I feel like it gets people to change sometimes.

And I'm trying to think.

I was watching one of these kid shows with my wife.

And it was one of these, you know, they profile these –

college students that are doing well and they have this young blonde girl and she was overweight and she was called fat.

She went into class and they called her fatso and she was overweight.

And she didn't want to be called fat, and so she took up triathlons.

Triathlon.

Right.

And now she's in incredible shape, and she's triathlete, and she trains other people, and blah, blah, blah.

But it's really somebody said to her, hey, you're fat.

She got bullied, but she got bullied into change.

And then there's a kind of bully where you just sort of crush someone's spirit or you physically hurt them or what have you.

So my problem is I don't like the bullying where you crush someone's spirit or you physically hurt them.

But I do like the bullying where you go, hey, you got a problem.

You need to take care of it because that's actually healthy.

She got healthy because she got a dusting of bullying.

Well, I don't think they told her to change.

Yeah, I always just sort of – I kind of blame the parents.

I really just feel like if your kid is out there beating up on people and then the parents that deny it or support it or say my little angel wouldn't – I hate those fucking people.
