You may think celebrities have it all and that their lives are perfect. It’s not true! There are so many celebrities that were bullied in school, making them proof that it does get better.
I know we discuss bullying a lot, but as long as it’s still happening we’re still going to talk about it. Bullying, unfortunately, is something that a lot of people have to endure. And it’s not just in school either. Adults fall victim to bullying as well. It’s a problem that can affect everyone, and that’s why it’s so important to discuss.
It’s so easy to let bullying get you down. I was bullied a lot in school, and it’s really difficult to see a light at the end of the tunnel. But there is a light! Don’t believe me?
Here are 12 celebrities that were seriously bullied and made it out on the other side.
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran just revealed in an interview with The Daily Mail that he was a victim of bullying in school because of his hair color. He said, "I was quite a weird kid when I was little, I wore big glasses, had hearing problems, had a stutter and I had ginger hair, but I am now a successful musician and I have nothing to complain about."
Jennifer Lawrence
Our BFF Jen told The Sun, “I changed schools a lot when I was in elementary school because some girls were mean. They were less mean in middle school, because I was doing all right, although this one girl gave me invitations to hand out to her birthday party that I wasn’t invited to. But that was fine, I just hocked a loogie on them and threw them in the trash can.”
Chad Michael Murray
The One Tree Hill hottie told PBS that he was bullied "ever since I was in kindergarten. I had my two front teeth knocked out by a sixth grader in first grade. He picked me up and jacked me in the mouth. My house got egged, and all that stuff that happens to you when you’re growing up with people who don’t understand what’s going on.”
Brittany Snow
Brittany Snow is super active in the anti-bullying realm today because of her personal struggles. She told Betty Confidential, "When I was in middle school and high school a bully would tell me ways to kill myself every day. The bully would put mean things on flyers and hit me and just taunt me in every way. I had no friends. Then, on top of all that, one of my good friends committed suicide because of this bully."
Christian Bale
Batman himself was bullied in school after he starred in Steven Speilberg's Empire Of The Sun, "I took a beating from several boys for years. They put me through hell, punching and kicking me all the time,"
Demi Lovato
Demi is now an ambassador for Secret's anti-bullying campaign. She told People Magazine, "People would write 'hate petitions' [about me] and send them around to be signed. They'd have CD-bashing parties of my demos. They'd come to my house, stand across the street and yell things."
Jason Segel
Even the charming and lovable Jason Segel was bullied! He told Young Hollywood, "When I was like 12, I went through puberty. You know, when your hormones change inside of your body, and uh, I became 6'4" and everyone was regular, like normal human height. And they would stand in a circle and jump on my back one by one and chant 'Ride the oaf! Ride the oaf!"
Megan Fox
Megan Fox was bullied in school over her acting dreams! She told Contact Music, "One girl came to school on Halloween in a black leather catsuit and everyone thought she was cat woman. She answered, 'No I am Megan Fox.' She was making fun of me."
Pierce Brosnan
According to The Biography Channel, the Irish hunk was "teased and bullied about his Irish accent - in fact, his nickname was 'Irish.' In order to avoid continued persecution, he trained himself to speak with an English accent."
Jessica Alba
The beautiful and funny Jessica Alba suffered pretty serious bullying when she was in school. She revealed to The Daily Mirror, "I was bullied so badly my dad used to have to walk me into school so I didn't get attacked. I'd eat my lunch in the nurses' office so I didn't have to sit with the other girls."
Robert Pattinson
Yup, Edward Cullen/Cedric Diggory was beat up and bullied in school! He said in an interview with Parade Magazine, "I got beaten up by a lot of people when I was younger. I was a bit of an idiot, but I always thought the assaults were unprovoked. It was after I first started acting and I liked to behave like an actor, or how I thought an actor was supposed to be, and that apparently provoked a lot of people into hitting me."
Michelle Trachtenberg
Michelle says she was bullied by over 100 kids in school and reveals that she was "sad a lot." She suffered serious physical bullying and was punched in the face on the bus by a girl who tormented her. "I got through the worst type of bullying," Michelle says in her interview with E! Investigates: Bullying.
