Every teacher in elementary school loved me because I was always goofing around. I was taller than most of the guys and girls, and fattest, too.

It’s a very hard goal. But, what I want is to tell people who are getting bullied to stand up to the bully and not let it be OK – tell a teacher, the principal, or your parents. I want people to stand up and to be confident.
