Yeah, I don't know how that would work. Now, there is a little bit. So can we talk about skinny kids a little bit? So skinny boys are vulnerable. And especially skinny boys who are adolescents are very vulnerable because that's not perceived as masculine, which kind of goes hand in hand with being vulnerable, which is unfortunate.

And then thin girls get bullied, but because of intersexual competition. So like, even though like you're going to see it on both like so thin children and thin adolescents are at risk, but the mechanism is different for boys and girls.

Exactly. Exactly. And then there was a study that just came out that showed this curve. And it was looking at how weight status maps onto mental health. So this was published in JAMA. It just came out like a few months ago. And you see both ends. So you see the really thin kids being overly represented on having poor mental health. And then the overweight kids also having poor mental health.

More on the overweight side than the underweight side. But it really, I think that that could be explained through peer processes.

Um, boys are so obvious in their bullying. They're really like, they value dominance and submission. So they are going to put you in your place either physically or verbally, and you're going to know where you stand. If you have any flaw, Chris, they're going to tell you what it is, right? And it's going to be immediate and everybody's going to mock you. With girls, it's more circuitous.

Like we value inclusion and exclusion a little bit more than boys. So we use our relationships as a vehicle to cause harm. So we're more likely to use indirect aggression, which is also called social or relational aggression. So we will spread rumors about you. We'll exclude you from the peer group, those sorts of things.

We'll give you a once over and give you a death stare and mock and laugh at you. and and do that over and over again um we'll pretend we are friends with you but we're really just trying to elicit information from you to use it against you so we are think are more instrumental and boys are more reactive so we're proactive and boys are more reactive although they can also be proactive boys
