I wasn’t attractive or athletic in high school, I spent all my time obsessed with programming, from basically grade 5 onwards; it didn’t make me popular and I not only didn’t fit in but was regularly bullied.

It’s turned into a fantastic career and the resilience I gained from being bullied made me a stronger and kinder person growing up.

Wouldn’t wish it on anyone, but long term I would say it personally did not harm me.

How do you teach resilience to a kid? What are some things you can do from they are toddlers to teach them?

Several fairly prominent psychologists have spent the past couple decades trying to figure out the answer to this question, but as far as I've read there is nothing close to a proven method or validated theory yet.
