    For me, dude, bullying is just a fucking fact. I mean, everyone gets bullied. Everyone needs to get bullied. It’s just natural, dude. You can’t stop it. It’s a huge part of growing up. If we lived in a perfect world, then no bullying would be fine. Like shooting Nerf guns instead of guns with real bullets. But if I hadn’t been bullied, there’s no way I’d be able to survive. Especially leaving home at 18 and moving to New York City. If someone’s never gotten bullied, it’s going to be a huge shock once they get out into the real world. They need that. And with cyberbullying, it’s like, close the screen, you fucking moron. Cyberbullying — really? Give me a break. Fucking turn your screen off. I mean, me signing that anti-bullying thing or whatever was all just me getting a chance to troll. And it was really funny, and I was getting paid a lot of money. But, again, I don’t want people hurting themselves. Like, obviously I don’t want people to kill themselves.

Yeah... nice guy.
