: Episode 1128 – Gina Grad joins Vinnie for this Sunday School episode, and the two talk teenage relationships (friendships and romantic), Vinnie’s history with sports, and bullying.
RELATIONSHIPS
- Gina could get nearly any guy she wanted in high school
- Vinnie was a good looking star athlete but was awful with girls!
- Part of this was because of his speech impediment from growing up deaf
- The nuns reinforced students teasing him
- The most important relationships you have are your family and friends growing up!
- Some young men are identifying as incels
- They define themselves as unable to find a relationship (or friendships)
- Many of them stuck on the internet
- Some of these self-identifying incels are ones that plot (and some time succeed) to shoot up schools
- Parents, make sure you know what’s going on with your kids at school and their relationships
BULLYING
- Vinnie was an amazing athlete
- Kids teased him a ton
- However, once he started winning at sports, people started being nice to him
- They were still mean to kids who weren’t good at sports
- Don’t bully kids – you don’t know what they’re going through
- Become friends with people
