John Cena is one of the most famous wrestlers in the World. However, he told Kelly Clarkson on her show recently that when he was a kid, he used to get bullied because he was scrawny and his choice of style and behavior was a little bit different than everyone else’s.
So, he shared with the daytime talk show host how he got the other kids to stop bullying him. “Instead of throwing my hands up and just doing nothing. I said, ‘What can I control? I control how I can conduct myself. I am going to start working harder to defend myself,'” he said. “And instead of physical self-defense, I built my physical appearance to be a little more intimidating. And it worked. And I stopped getting picked on.”
Does he regret his past? “I look back at those days fondly. Because my life takeaway from that is to control what you can and better your situation to the best of your ability. And if you can’t better the situation, then distance yourself from it.”
Those are such wise words, and kids need to hear them because it will help them get through the stage where kids are assholes.
I am sure all of Cena’s assholes watch him on Peacemaker or at the Oscars and regret what they did to him. Because, as Taylor Swift says, all they will ever be is mean.
