For future and past Melvin, have you ever met any bullies? If so, what did they do to you?
"Well,, some of the kids are mean, but, duh, I don't think they're 'bullies'- maybe, um, misunderstood?"
"I don't,, want to think bad stuff about people. That's more mean. Uh- at least I think so.
ah- sorry- to be clear, um, no, I've never met any bullies."
",, Hey Melvin, could you step outside with Miss Anthrope for a moment? I can't, ah, speak about future events with you here."

",, Okay- To answer your question, nearly all the kids here are bullies. I'm,, sadly not exaggerating. I don't want to tell younger me because I've experienced what he's experiencing- he doesn't need to know unless absolutely necessary.
,, I just hope that never happens."
