They’d come to my house, stand across the street and yell things. It was a very emotional time for me, and all I wanted to do was get away.” Demi was also bullied for being ‘fat’. Consequently she stopped eating at the age of 12 and lost 30lbs. As a result, she dropped to a dangerously low weight.“When I was about 15, I was only eating two meals a week, but I wasn’t losing any more weight because my body adjusted to that.” In the end Demi couldn’t bear to see her body on camera. Her spiral downwards would include drug use and self-harming. Eventually, with support from her family, she sought help to address these issues and an eating disorder, Bulimia. After treatment, and a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, Demi has emerged a far stronger person. Demi now campaigns for greater awareness of eating disorders. As her 2015 song ‘Confident’ demonstrated, she has shown millions of teenagers that bullying doesn’t work. She didn’t allow her tormentors to stop her from achieving the life she was determined to lead. ]]> 2017-05-18 16:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/maiasued/egghead_tarrabsued/wish/172638171 Rihanna maiasued https://padlet.com/maiasued/egghead_tarrabsued/wish/172638361 Rihanna revealed that she was bullied at school because some of her fellow pupils thought she was too "white".

"

"The boys in my school thought it was weird because I liked country, and they made fun of me."

Taylor says the bullies at her school inspired her to be music. The students bothered her and declined her offers of friendship, but lately she believes that those experiences made her more determined to follow her musical dream

Taylor says that several of her bullies are now going to their concerts, but she does not think there is any need to confront them about what they did to her, but she does not think she remembers it.
