Rihanna: "I Was Bullied, But Now I'm In A Much Bigger World"

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Speaking to Allure in 2008, RiRi revealed that she was bullied at school because some of her fellow pupils thought she was too "white". She said that she was cursed by her so-called friends, but had managed to overcome the bullies to become one of the biggest pop stars in the world.

Some nine days after the September 11 attacks, President George Bush infamously pronounced: "Either you are with us, or you are with
the terrorists."
There have been many interpretations of this statement, although few would be surprised to know its' biblical source: Matthew 12:30
"He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad". But where Matthew 12:31 goes on to talk of forgiveness, Bush made no such overtures. Further complicating the issue is that although this statement denies neutrality or alternative opinion, it demands global allegiance to a
particular brand of ideology that was never actually defined. Is it requiring compliance to the US spiritual, political or financial hegemony?
Or all three? This metaphorical painting is a response to the absurdity of reducing such complicated issues to such simplistic absolutes.A symbol of wealth, power and status, the velvet rope divides the "opposing forces." Yet its only strength is attributed power: as a barrier it
offers no actual resistance. More united than divided, the participants are simply sharing the same field.

"Bullying is the height of ignorance. It destroys self esteem and creativity .It needs to be stopped in schools and work places. Education supervision should be a tool in helping to stop this .The picture (frustration) is my conception of the product of bullying. I too was a subject of being bullied for many years, too ashamed to tell anyone. I am 63 years old and there are times when I am still affected."

This picture is my anti-bullying artwork. I did a lot of researched, used my own experiences as well as observations to allow this piece to reach it's full potential. The bullies and by standers are created by words and the victim is not the reason for this is, I wanted to focus more on the bullies and why they do what they do, as well as the people standing by watching and doing nothing. The victim is nothing but a "victim", they do not cause their own situation, the bullies and the people who stand-by are the cause of bullying.

My art piece is titled "Bullying hurts". I was inspired to create this art piece after realising that children are not the only victims of bullying. Bullying is a vicious cycle that occurs at all ages, whether it is at school, work or at home.

The creating process of this art piece firstly included sketching the ladies face, using sharp angles to represent the anger and hurt in her life. Once sketched, I then used blue, black, and red watercolour paints to add some colour.

I chose to use blue watercolour paint on her cheekbones to represent bruising. The bruising from being bullied both physically and emotionally, as you do not need to be just physically hurt to feel pain. Next I used black watercolour paint as an outline of the women's face, as well as under the women's eyes. I placed a large amount of black underneath her eyes to emphasise the pain she is feeling and the loss of sleep over the hurt others are causing her. I then used red to colour her lips and to drip drops of paint around her mouth to represent blood. I have placed the drops of red paint near her mouth to represent the physical pain when getting bullied as well as the emotional pain that can be created from words.

The newspaper clippings were added to the art piece to show the emotions the victim may feel when being bullied. Some of these words include hurt, sorrow and angry. I also added newspaper print behind the lady in the foreground to represent people talking behind her back, as the print is in the background.

I have always had a way with words. When I was younger I spent my days writing stories, as I got older I wrote music and poetry. I loved the way that the words could shape emotions and depict passion. For years my passion for words developed as did my understanding of their power.

For this piece I chose to have no detail except for the night sky in the back ground of the painting. This was in attempt to depict a secluded and deserted surrounding area. The sky was painted in blues, purples, browns and blacks; I wanted to use these colours to display her mood and portray the 'bruised' emotions young girl the the young girl was feeling.

The colour scheme of the painting was painted dull to represent the energy and despair of the young girl. However to create contrast; the girls pink dress, bright orange hair and the green grass of the cliff were painted bright colours. The young girl in my painting is dressed in a floral pink dress to resemble her innocence She is laying on the soft green grass of a cliff, I painted the grass of the cliff a bright beautiful green to symbolise it's safety.
Below the cliff, I have painted the back ground black, the black is painted darker as it gets further from the cliff and closer to the bottom of the page. This is to symbolise the unknown depth and inhabbitance of the darkness below, to which the young girl will fall if she lets the word's win the battle.

The tree is the feature piece of my art work, it has been created using vile language and cruel insults. The branches of the tree are symbolically wrapped around the young girls wrists as the 'words' pull her closer and closer off the edge of the cliff.

I wanted to represent how words can have a long lasting affect even after they are spoken. I wanted to represent the power of words - not only the people who speak them.

"When I was little I suffered from bullying at school. It was horrible. I ended up with several scratches on my neck. My work is a reminder that the darkness is in ourselves ... but also light. It shows how we lock ourselves in our grief, although the world keeps turning. The world is beautiful and terrible at the same time, and we cannot help it. But we can always ... get up and keep walking, that's why we have legs."

"Here is a cartoon about gossip/rumors/bullying/teasing. The boy in the picture has words on his back because they are words that people are saying behind his back. When he sees these words, he is hurt. Talking behind someone's back is a horrible thing to do. Everyone has been a victim and everyone has been the person saying these things to a victim.

When I was growing up, I was picked on for being weird. Someone asked me if I had ADD because of the way I was acted as a kid. I didn't let that get me down! People bully all the time. There are many reasons why they do it and unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it."

Shawn Mendes is a massively successful pop star, currently ensconced in the U.S. top 10 chart beside his countrymen Bieber, Drake and The Weeknd. His breakthrough song "Stitches" is number one on pop radio, and he spent his summer on tour with Taylor Swift

But Mendes is also 17, and so when he talks about cyberbullying, it's not abstract because, yes, even famous people have feelings.

"I've seen it firsthand, I felt it. I've obviously felt the wrath of people over a computer because you don't care. Over the computer you're invincible. You can say whatever you want," Mendes tells HuffPost Canada backstage at We Day Toronto where he recently performed to tens of thousands of youth activists.

"If someone was to say negative comment to me in person, I would for some reason brush it off. But for some stupid reason when you read something online, it bugs you. You could have 1,000 nice comments and you see one bad one and about you.

"I can only imagine what it's like for people who have maybe five nice things and get three bad ones. That's hurtful."

This is something that Mendes was trying to address with his #NotesFromShawn project, a collaboration with DoSomething.org. The goal was to use his online fanbase to help make the world more positive and reduce self-harm among teens with anonymous self-esteem boosts.

"The things [social media] can do for people and for causes are incredible [but] it can also really really hurt someone," he says. "It's super simple, I asked my fans to write on sticky notes something like 'you're awesome' or 'you rock' or 'you're beautiful.'

"Write five of them and then going to your school, or go to the mall, or go anywhere and just stick them in places. It's one of those things to just brighten up someone's day. We had 37,000 people signed up for it in the first couple weeks, it was amazing to think about."

Another 26,000 kids signed up this past summer when the campaign was re-launched, though if you search Twitter you'll see that Mendes' fans never stopped spreading their sticky note love.
Bullying Awareness Week runs from Nov. 15 until Nov 21. Also on HuffPost

Growing up with music in his head caused Charlie Puth to come off somewhat strange to his peers. While Charlie was literally marching to the beat of his own drum, his classmates only saw that he was different from them. Because he was different, Charlie said he went through some really rough bullying.

Even though he was bullied for what made him different, Charlie didn't change to fit in. That's why he's teaming up with CustomInk during National Bullying Prevention Month this October, encouraging everyone to "Be Unique." For CustomInk's Be Good Each Other campaign that encourages kindness, Charlie said he chose to put that slogan on a t-shirt because it's what he is and what he wants everyone to have the courage to be.

"I was basically bullied because I was unique, I was different than everybody," Charlie told Teen Vogue. "I would hear music in my head. I chose to be the black sheep. Everyone reacted to that strangely. I never went to prom or anything like that but some amazing things happened in my life."

Charlie said he experienced a lot of verbal bullying, but there were a few key ways he coped with the abuse. Basically, Charlie said he learned to love himself more than anyone else.

"I would go to high school and be irritated that everyone was super rude. I would just look forward to the night," he said. "I love being by myself more than anything on this earth. I would get inspired by being by myself."

Charlie said things like working out or just taking a drive around once he got his license were the things that he looked forward to during stressful days. All that gave him the courage to keep doing his thing, and now he has three platinum records to show for it. There are tons of ways to handle bullying, though, particularly ones that can help you get through tough times and come out better for it. Some ways to deal with bullying include making a list of people you trust, seeking out therapy, or joining a new club or group.

Charlie feels so passionate about standing up to bullying that he even coaches fans through tough times, he said. Charlie recounted one instance when someone was leaving particularly nasty comments on his Instagram. Even though he said he typically doesn't read the comments, he decided to reach out this time.

"They were writing such disgusting things and I reached out to them, I'm not mad at them, and said, 'hey, what's going on?'" Charlie said. "I spent a couple hours going back and forth with them and found out things weren't going great in their personal life. I told them you have to be true to yourself. When I talked to them about that, they weren't a different person, they were the person I knew they were at their core."

With his Be Unique t-shirt, Charlie said he wants everyone to get the message that fan got - be true to yourself and you can find happiness. If you need a little encouragement to be your best self, check out Charlie on tour. Charlie told Teen Vogue his "We Don't Talk" tour will his Dallas, Texas on Sept. 26. Stay tuned for a surprise special guest joining Charlie and his band on tour.

A six-year-old girl triumphed over the bullies who told her that girls can't play football, by leading out the England Women's team during a recent qualifier.

Sheffield United fan, Jessie Adams, received an outcry of support after her mother tweeted about Jessie's experience with bullies at school.

Jessie, who has been playing football since she was two years old, had joined in a lunchtime football game when she was told to stop playing because she was a girl. When her mother Anna Adams, 32, picked Jessie up from school she was told her daughter had been visibly upset all day, and took to social media to tell Jessie's story.

Adams was soon flooded with messages of support for her and her daughter, and within days the family were contacted by Sheffield United Ladies FC. They offered Jessie the opportunity to lead the Blades out as mascot in their fixture against Radcliffe.

The experience was then picked up by the England Women's national team, who invited her to lead them out at Southampton's St. Mary's stadium for the World Cup Qualifier against Wales on 6 April.

Adams, commenting on her decision to tweet Jessie's story and the reaction it received, said: "I never expected it to go as far as it did. Sheffield United Ladies got in touch straight away and wanted to go to the school to speak to the children.

"The Lionesses also got in touch too and before we knew it, Jessie had lived her dream of leading out, not just Sheffield United Ladies, but England Women too."

Adams said the family initially feared that Jessie might not want to play again after the experience, but that the support Jessie has received after the tweet has helped her confidence enormously. Adams also praised her daughter's school for supporting the family's fight against sexist attitudes to girls playing football.

While Adams did take down her tweet, worried that people might question her intentions, she now regrets her decision and feels it carried an important message:

"Initially, we took the tweet down simply because we didn't want people to get the wrong idea and think that we were trying to get freebies.

"I regret taking it down now because it has had such a positive impact for girls in football."

Jessie's love of football began when she started watching matches with her father, after which she joined a club called Little Kicks at her local leisure centre.

Her mother spoke of Jessie's love for the game: "She always has a ball at her feet and we have always said she is going to be a little footballer.

"We always tried to get her into clubs but because of her age and sex she hasn't been accepted."

However, the exposure Jessie has received may help in getting her the help she needs to develop and train her skills. Sheffield United Ladies FC is now keeping tabs on the aspiring footballer.

Carla Ward, interim manager of Sheffield United Ladies, said: "Jessie's story is one which we should all get behind and learn from during Girls Football Week.

"Jessie is also extremely talented. We will be keeping a close eye on her.''

Burger King is known for its flame-broiled Whopper and its creepy, plastic-headed monarch of a mascot, but it's not exactly known for its socially conscious advertising. Maybe that should change.

Earlier in October, which is National Bullying Prevention Month, Burger King released an anti-bullying PSA in partnership with NoBully.org. The spot, which you can watch above, is called "Bullying Jr." and it puts bullying in a very public setting. About 30 percent of students around the world are bullied each year, the ad begins, before cutting over to a staged bullying incident in a Los Angeles Burger King. As this high school junior is bullied by some other teens, real customers are shown simply watching - or trying not to watch - the events unfolding in front of them.

The twist on the incident is that many of these customers received a "bullied" Whopper Jr. with their order, burgers that had been smashed into something that looks more like a deconstructed burger than a normal fast-food hamburger. Ninety-five percent of the folks who received a "bullied" Whopper - which is about $2, without fries or a drink - came up to the counter to complain about the burger. A mere 12 percent of customers intervened in the bullying in some way. The point is made pretty starkly when a Burger King employee asks an irate customer, "Had you seen me bullying this burger, would you have stood up and said something?"

"Yeah," replies the customer, sounding both confused and oblivious.

"Good to know," the employee replies, looking a little disheartened. Obviously that customer didn't do anything about the teenager getting bullied.

At play here is the bystander effect, a behavior exhibited by people when they see someone else in trouble but choose to do nothing about it, especially when there are other people around. We mentally pass the buck, thinking, "Oh, someone else will help. It's not my problem. After all, I have this smashed up $2 hamburger to deal with right now."

The bystander effect is, in no small part, one reason why people get bullied, among other abusive behaviors. The ad makes this pretty clear, too, by showcasing not only two instances of people stepping in to help the teen, but by also having actual bullied teens discuss their own experiences of how someone standing beside them helped during a bullying incident.

Yes, the ad rather cynically engages in serious product integration to make its point - a Whopper Jr. and a high school junior, get it?! - but it's still a point worth making.

Want to know more about countering the bystander effect? Teen Vogue has an excellent rundown on how to handle yourself when you see bullying.
