When I was younger, I had an older brother a year and a half older than me, so we always had each other, and I felt very fortunate in that regard.
Rib HillisEven though [bullying] doesn't actually raise your stature, it might make you feel that way.
Rib HillisI have 8-year-old twins, and I want them to grow up in a world where they can be anyone they want without any shame, without holding back, without being judged for it.
Rib HillisIf you feel like you're not where you want to be in your life, rather than step on someone else's, raise your stature.
Rib HillisI think bullying comes from a person's feeling of self-worth, and so what you do is you find out where you are in a totem pole, and you may slide in somewhere in the middle. So you say, "OK, well there's all these other people who I respect and admire, and there's all these people below me, so I'm going to put on them this sense that they're inferior and I'm going to belittle them, and that's going to raise my stature."
