So I'll give you an example in Ontario.

There was this study, and I may have got this wrong, but I don't think I do. I remember this study from years ago where they were looking at why this particular school had low bullying rates.

So studies show that there's a genetic component. So parents who were bullied tend to have, their kids have a higher likelihood of being bullied.
