Welcome to the first episode of “Not Your Average Joel!” I had the opportunity to talk to my friend Alex Kersh on the topic of bullying as we got to share our experiences with bullying, how we've dealt with the bullies, and the effects that bullying has on people. Bullying is going at an upward trend not only within schools but on social media as well. We need to do better in taking care of one another instead of tearing down one another.

NOTE: Throughout the video you may see me smile during some serious conversations. I did speak to Alex about this and he knows my intentions were not to be insensitive as I was listening to his experiences. I am going to try doing better with my facial expressions as I was nervous and this was my first episode to do. Also, there are some glitches during the video and also some very mature topics get brought up during this video as we talk about realities of how bullying can affect someone. I hope y'all enjoy!
