    Part of it is age. I know everyone has had bullying issues growing. I did but I’m also aware enough to know that I was a bully too at times. Probably not physically but probably intellectually bullying my schoolmates and insulting people. A lot of that is internal insecurity and bullying I faced. A lot of the times we do mean things and don’t know why. If you’ve got kids, you’ve seen this a lot of times. Ignoring all of this and doing what you want is an important part of growing up. I’d like to think that I more often than not was pushing my friends towards their dreams and at times facing reality. However, I know sometimes I’ve definitely teased someone about their dream. I hope that they were strong enough to ignore my stupidity.
