They're the best in the world generally, but they're still practicing. So I, cause sometimes there's that thought that, well, once I just, you know, I won't let it bug me. And I'll be on my way and it'll never bug me again.

Yeah, I think they do some trainings and there are definitely some models that I think are going to be helpful where you're getting people in there. You're also trying to get the bystanders. You're also trying to get, you know, the bully.

And again, the level of severity, you know, I think that, like I said, I've talked about kind of the middle, which that person would be in the middle until it got that severe. And we don't know about it, but yeah. It is a tough thing because as Matt had kind of put down so much questions, there's like, oh, it builds character. Oh, everybody does that.

So then we're trying to gauge, well, where is this? I mean, this is to the point where this person is hounded relentlessly, so afraid to go to school and they're just getting stomachaches and headaches and grades are dropping out. They're feeling thoughts of suicide. You know, it's like, when do we step in?

I wish we were doing more training with teachers and student bodies on, you know, hey, look, how do we look out for one another? You know, how do we kind of recognize if we see something to help these kids? Because, again, we all know that rarely does it happen where a teacher or a parent addresses the bully and they say, oh, okay, I'll stop.

And usually it's like, oh, I'm going to get you later, sucker. You know it. You told on me. Now you're really in trouble. And that's, I think, a part of that. So working with the teachers is important. You know, I feel horrible these days for teachers because, you know,

They get all the electronics, all the other things, the IEPs, the 504s, and they're trying to learn how to – I just want to learn how to teach math and help these kids. And then it's like you have to be a counselor. You have to be a bully expert. You have to be a learning disorder expert. Anyway, so yeah, but yeah, there is definitely trainings, and I think it is helpful and we need to do.

Oh, yeah, I had gads of money I took from those kids. No. But it was interesting because, yes, I was bullied for sure. And I remember, you know, it was a lot of, depending on where we lived, it was on my race. We were very poor, so it could be on my clothes. You know, and I was short, so there was that. And I wore glasses, so four eyes. And then, of course, you know, one that I think

Everybody still we get is sexual orientation. So, you know, I don't know of a boy in junior high and high school that didn't get called a fag or gay. But for some kids, that's pretty simple. I mean, nobody liked it and nobody still likes it, especially when just trying to go through puberty.
