Disney star Bella Thorne harbors a fear of public speaking after she was bullied at school as a youngster.
The 14-year-old singer/actress left elementary school after being picked on, and she has now signed up to be a spokesperson for the Stomp Out Bullying campaign to help others who are suffering.
The Shake It Up star still bears the emotional scars of her bullying hell, revealing she struggles to speak in public.
Thorne tells Britain’s OK! magazine, “It does hurt and people don’t realize that. I’m the global ambassador for Stomp Out Bullying. When I was bullied, it affected my whole family and it caused problems. I didn’t want to go out, and even now I’m afraid to talk in front of crowds and at awards shows.”
“It got really severe. I was crying every day in school, so I stopped public school in fourth grade, which was disappointing.”
| Bella i feel your pain I had the same experiance when i started school i omnly spoke spanish as well. All the kids made fun of me and i cried when i went he and now they dont but that experiance i will mever forget. Another thing is that i was born with four of my fingers stuck together and they seperated when i was in the hospital and when i started school the kids made fun of me because i have a small hand and kids did not like me as much but i got used of kids laughing at me so i ignored then but kids did not let me play with them because i couldn’t catch with two hands. So i did not play with them until some who is now my friend diffended me and everybody stop bullilying me and i became happy Bella i feel your pain i had the same experiance when i started school.
