#902 - Dr Tracy Vaillancourt - The Science Of Childhood Bullying & Adult Mental Health

Tomorrow I'm presenting to 170 principals in Quebec. But I do this all the time and I present the data and I say, here are the rates in your school. We've done a great job at reducing bullying in your school. Can we get your school counselors to now recognize that you have kids that are even more vulnerable than they were before? Isn't that a bit messed up?

So if you end up with worse mental health outcomes, it feels a little bit like... It's not what you would ever have expected, right? You would just think like, In a sense, we're doing God's work by reducing bullying. And yet the precious few who are left behind are doing worse than we've ever seen.

I hate that and I get asked that all the time. It triggers me. So I always think like, well, okay, so you think you've done well, but let's just say I do a lot of stuff in sports because I'm a high performance soccer coach. I coach Team Ontario for the U17 girls and our Canada Games team. But in any event, the reason I mentioned that because it's a really easy way to explain this.

So you are now an Olympian, Chris, right? You've won two Olympic gold medals in swimming. And you say, you know, the reason I'm an Olympian is because I was bullied. It made me stronger. It made me more resilient. And I always say, what if you were supposed to win 15 medals? Like, so, you know, you don't know what your top performance is.

You don't know where you're supposed to be and where, how far you can excel. You think that it didn't do anything to you, but there's going to be a biological component that definitely did that. Now, there are always exceptions to the rules. So I would be open-minded to maybe some people do better as a consequence of that. I'm struck by how often people don't want to change their experience.
