And we made the decision to go back to school today.

Yes, we are at the Henry Fawcett Primary School.

With The Diana Award, supported by Nationwide Building Society.

And we're about to go and answer some questions.

So who happen to be Anti-Bullying Pro Ambassadors.

So these are like some seriously bright kids.

I have no idea what we're gonna be asked.

Do you have the favorite ice cream flavor?

Who's the most acrobatic out of you guys?

Although I fall down in the most spectacular fashion.

I'll be in trouble if I say anything other than he is, but the truth is I am.

I mean, I feel like I've known that I was different for for as long as I can remember from when I was like my earliest memories.

And as I got older, I started to figure out that actually it what I was feeling wasn't the same as everyone else in my class.

And then I just gradually got to a point where I felt comfortable with who I was, I met Lance and I came out when I was 19 years old.

When I first came out, it was actually lots of people were really, really supportive and sent lots of loving messages.

But when I was at school, I was actually bullied for being a diver.

People would call me names, take the mick out of what I would wear in my diving competitions and it was something that I really, really struggled with.

I hear that lots of you are like anti-bullying ambassadors, is that right?

And to be able to have people in school in school that you can go and talk to and people that you're able to go and confide in is really important.

So what you're doing is going to really help and change so many people's lives.

It was really hard when I was little and I would sometimes just go away by myself and and feel sad.

It's also really good to have someone that you can talk to.

Whether that be one of someone from an anti-bullying ambassador or if it's someone that you can confide in whether it's a teacher or a parent or a friend.

I think it's really important to not bottle things up and being able to speak to someone.

Well my mom taught me that when you cry, it's actually you getting better, it's a sign that inside your heart and your mind is getting stronger and better.

And so some people think it's a sign of weakness, but that's they're actually wrong.

What are your hopes and ambitions for Robbie?

Our son is four years old now and it's just been like this crazy dream come true.

Does anybody here know any other kids who have like two moms or two dads or?

The main thing we want is for him to be happy.

I think the one thing I really wanted for him is to him to be curious and to ask questions.

And I think those two things are related because even if you're getting bullied, instead of maybe reacting with anger, you sort of ask yourself, you take the time to be curious and go, I wonder what's going on in that person's world that they felt they had to say or do that.

Then it's really hard to hate them and it's really hard to be mad at them.

That would be our our only hope and dream for him, whatever he wants to do for a living or do with his life is his decision.

To be honest, he actually can't swim very well.

He just jumps in the water and he tries his hardest to get to the side.

It's about just going as often as you can to get used to it as much as possible and, you know, keep working hard.

I can't say they're the most comfortable things, but they are very practical for diving.

Thank you for everything that you guys are doing.

I wish I had an anti-bullying ambassador when I was in school, it would have made my days so much better.

So thank you guys, know that every time you just listen, you're really, really helping.
