It takes a lot of courage to step into a bullying situation and cease being a bystander and become a person who is actively engaged in trying to stop bullying. That's a difficult thing to do and, you know, I certainly failed to do it many times when I was a kid. But, you know, that tremendously courageous thing is something that, you know, if you can do it you're gonna feel good, not just today but really for decades. I mean, there's a lot of times that I can look back on and think about how I wish I'd acted a little more courageously as a kid when I was witnessing bullying. And, um, yeah. I know that if I had, you know, I'd be doing this interview and I'd be like "I remember I was this great hero!" But, I mean, you know, you had that opportunity, you had the opportunity to really helps someone's life.
