People would push me around, say they were going to beat me up after school, chase me. It was miserable, my whole schooling—miserable. I tried to be friends with people, but I didn't fit in. So I kept myself to myself. The rapper's family moved a lot when he was young, and a new school always meant being singled out.
Making music was the one thing that helped build his confidence. Bullies made seventh grade and ninth grade miserable for the "Hitch" actress, and made her so fearful she couldn't turn to her parents or school administrators.
I can't wait 'til she shows up with Ryan Gosling at the middle-school reunion. Who's laughing now? Starting in the second grade, the comedian said he was bullied on a daily basis. I was a little guy, too, a skinny runt. It's not nearly as brutal as "The Hunger Games," but the actress did have some unpleasant episodes during her youth.
She won Jack's heart in "Titanic," but before that she was a sandwich shop worker in England who was constantly bullied by classmates.
Locked me in the cupboard. Laughed at me. Business mogul Elon Musk was relentlessly bullied as a child in South Africa, his family said in Musk was picked on for being "the youngest and smallest guy in his school," his mother told Esquire. Musk's brother added that "Kids gave Elon a very hard time. You just have to get up in the morning and go.
He hated it so much. Musk's first wife, Justine, said, "I don't think people understand how tough he had it growing up. He was a really lonely kid. One incident even left the rapper with a serious head injury, leading his mother to sue his Michigan school district for failing to protect her child.
As a middle school student in Baltimore, Michael Phelps was tormented by bullies who mocked him for his hyperactive personality and big ears. The future Olympic legend wore hats much of the time to conceal the size of his ears, Phelps' mother told Yahoo Sports.
Phelps even got suspended from school for fighting one of his bullies. After that, he learned to keep his composure and challenge his frustration into success in the swimming pool.
Now that Phelps has become one of the most successful athletes of all time, he said he frequently has to brush off people from his past. Adolescents face a series of changes, not only hormonal but social.
High schools are micro-environments where students are governed by unwritten rules that everyone knows. It must be said that there is always the social pressure to belong to the group of cool kids and not fall into the less favorable labels within the social structure, and much worse, be that person who is teased by other classmates.
This is something that, no matter in what decade we are or what we call it, it has always existed and will exist. But the truth is that we have all gone through that uncomfortable period during our youth.
Although each person has had a different experience, the reality is that high school is one of those experiences - good or bad- that is almost impossible to avoid in our lives, and it is not something unique for us the "mortals", even our favorite celebrities at some point went through the corridors of some school.
But today we will talk about those celebrities who were teased during their school years and who today enjoy fame, glory, and recognition around the world, when at some point in their lives nobody believed in them.
When we think of Rihanna , the first thing that crosses our mind is irreverence and personality. And of course, Rihanna does not seem to be the kind of woman you want to mess with, but RiRi went through bullying when she was younger. During an interview for Allure in , RiRi explained that she was bullied at school.
She said explaining that her classmates made fun of her because she was very " white ". According to her biography on Wikipedia, Rihanna's great jump to fame came in with her debut album " Music of the Sun " and since then has remained among the favorites of the music charts with hits like " Work ", " Diamonds "," Umbrella "," SOS ", and " Unfaithful ". One of our favorite redheads in the music industry. Ed Sheeran is a singer, songwriter and record producer who, according to his biography on Wikipedia, achieved fame and worldwide recognition after actor Jamie Foxx took him under his wing in , both met in L.
A after Ed got an invitation to perform at the Foxxhole actor's club, Foxx was so impressed by Sheeran's performance that he decided to invite him to stay at his house. On several occasions the singer has expressed for various media that in his youth he was teased by some children at school due to the color of his hair, and being a weird kid. During the American Stuttering Gala in , Sheeran said in his speech " I was a very, very weird child.
Very weird child. And I had a port-wine stain birthmark on my face that I got lasered off when I was very young, and one day they forgot to put the anesthetic on, and then ever since then I had a stutter.
And I also had very, very big blue NHS glasses. And I lacked an eardrum on one side of my face—one side of my ear—so stuttering was actually the least of my problems when I went to school ". Taylor Swift shows that there is nothing that can stop her from achieving the things she wants, also she has shown us her versatility by going from singer and composer of country music to princess of pop. Although Swift has a reputation for being a mess in her love life, in her teenage years she had other problems besides love.
On many occasions, Taylor has let us know that she never belonged to the cool kids and many of her classmates used to mock her and her music. During an interview for Teen Vogue in , Taylor said: "The kids at school thought it was weird that I liked country [music]". But this beautiful blonde got her revenge by achieving her dreams and becoming one of the most important female artists of the moment. She emphasized in that interview that during the first years of her career she returned to her hometown and saw some of the girls who used to tease her waiting for her autograph, to which Taylor confessed "They showed up, wearing my T-shirts and asking me to sign their CDs," says Swift.
Christian Bale: it is hard to picture one of the most desirable men in Hollywood as a guy who used to be mocked in school, but he was. Due to his rise to fame when he was 13 years old due to the Steven Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun" movie, Bale had a difficult return to school because his jealous classmates chose him as their target.
It was awful. Though she grew up in the spotlight she filmed her first movie at 6 and is finding even more fame these days, Whitman admits Hollywood isn't always welcoming to her, either. The beautiful former Bachelorette had her pick of adoring men on the hit show, but she says bullying when she was younger and being called "hot dog nose" caused her to alter her physical appearance.
I've found the best way to cope with this is to just feel sorry for them. She's one of our favorite red carpet beauties , but the Golden Globe winner says she wasn't always the center attention for the right reasons.
The most cruel things. If I can do anything to help young girls and to be a cheerleader for people who sometimes have low self-esteem, I want to do that. Sure he played Superman, with flawless abs and a chiseled jaw, but the Man of Steel star had a different nickname growing up: "I was Fat Cavill," he told Details. Her unique looks were an asset when she became a model, but until then, they just drew unwanted attention.
While the star lists "fearlessness and confidence" as two of her traits nowadays, that wasn't always the case. Apart from my being mixed race, my parents didn't have money so I never had the cute clothes or the cool backpack. The actress who played a pot-stirring prep-school bad girl on Gossip Girl drew inspiration for the role from the bullying she endured during her real-life high school years.
Distance and time have given the bombshell actress perspective on what motivated the girls who made her life difficult in her tween years: "I was a gawky, skinny girl with big teeth and that made me an easy target," Mendes told The Daily Mail. At the time I couldn't understand why they kept taunting me. Only later could I see that I was showing them my fear and that's what they were pouncing on. Lovato's own experience with being bullied prompted her to begin a crusade against the painful phenomenon.
It was a very emotional time for me, and all I wanted to do was get away. What inspired the Pitch Perfect 2 star to start an organization called Love is Louder to help kids through bullying and depression? Being a victim herself.
