In more ways than one. I can still be astonished by learning new things, just as I was when I was a teenager.

I didn't really think that anti-bullying thing was all that unusual at the time, but I guess it was. I've often thought that it would be a good model for such programs in other schools. Peer pressure is the best way to change behavior in teens, I think.
