Gilbert Ohanian was born in Tehran, Iran in 1963. As a teen, he moved to the United States. He graduated from Glendale Community College with an Associate's degree in Arts in 2014 and then enrolled in a four year college in Los Angeles, California. Gilbert is currently majoring in social science/economics. Ohanian is a single father of two children. He hopes that his story will be able to help everyone from the victims to the parents, teachers and others as well as the bully through communication. Ohanian describes himself as a devoted parent, dedicated to being the best parent for his children. He credits his children with giving him more insight into the story he was telling simply by observing how they interacted with and communicated with bullies themselves.
