Pegg responded by sending a letter of support to the school, urging them to act and to not avoid the problem.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think most people experience bullying at some point,&#8221; he said in the letter. &#8220;It isn&#8217;t just stealing lunch money. It can be mental or physical.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It means using strength or power to intimidate someone weaker or in a weaker position than you,&#8221; said Pegg. &#8220;It&#8217;s important to send the message out to those who bully and intimidate that their actions are unacceptable. I have complete disapproval towards bullying, but also, to some degree, pity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bullies are weak and pathetic. If you don&#8217;t (tell someone) it will simply continue. Be strong. You are not being a snitch, you are protecting yourself and others. If you&#8217;re not sure who to speak to at school, speak to a parent or even a friend. The important thing is not to suffer in silence.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Star Trek XI&#8216;s Scotty encourages his old school to take bullying seriously.
