I could also say that, you know, maybe he misread my facial expression. I'm not buying that either. I think it was either he had a mindset, you know, this is a rite of passage. You got to toughen up, kiddo, or you're not going to survive in your Clifton High School mindset. Or another point is that he just was like, I have no idea what to do about it and I'm just going to let it go.

None of those are an option for me anymore. It's just not acceptable. And so we need to teach people skills. People need to be emotionally perceptive. Emotions are signals. I mean, that's an important point of this conversation. My facial expression, which was probably one of depression, fear, and shame, which is not one of a big smile in general. Obviously, there's variability.

But point is that... It's pretty clear when you're wearing a jacket and sitting like this in your classroom with a hoodie on, you know, doing your work and people are writing on you, you're not in a good place. How that perception of my experience, my emotion, was not a signal to do something blows my mind. It blows my mind, I'm just saying.

I can't imagine an adult being in a situation with a child that is being treated that way and not thinking action. But yet we see it all the time. All the time we see it. Even nowadays? All the time. By the way, the research shows that bullying has not really decreased in the last 30, 40 years. Really? No. It is not.

It's pretty much about a third of middle school, high school kids get bullied each day in school. And so this is the point of my work, which is that a lot of the programs out there are like, let's create school rules. All right, who's going to follow these rules? How are rules teaching people skills? It's not working.

My whole thinking about this is that we need to teach the things that we've been talking about, empathy, perspective taking, doing role plays, having people understand what it feels like to be in that situation.

Like you said, you've never been bullied and never have bullied, which is great for you, which means it might be harder for you to understand that because the empathy for you might be a little tougher.
