Sure. Well, what I would also just say real quickly is that – so bullying obviously is extremely serious. They talk about one out of four to up to 50 percent of people experience bullying of some kind.

And, you know, we've got to work in the systems with the teachers, the schools. And, you know, we can go from the inner self, the family. The neighborhoods, the school systems. But anyway, we just want to make sure we know that people are being severely bullied. We really do need to step in and can make a difference.

What I think we'll talk a lot about, too, is, you know, what about the average kind of person, you know, when you're getting made fun of? People are picking on you for the way you look, for dressing differently. A lot of times they're pretty darn good at picking out our insecurities and just riding on those until we feel more guilt, embarrassment, shame. So anyway—
