I often think about what it would be like to live childhood and teenage years again with all you know now. I think in most cases I’d be able to ultimately befriend the bully and be a positive influence on them. I now also understand things like fitness and work ethic, discipline.

That train of thought then makes me realize people who grew up with really good parental influences basically had those sorts of powers on their first go because they were taught.

I got bloody noses and migraines constantly while growing up because nobody ever told me to drink water. That tidbit alone would be life changing.
