Some really famous people have been bullied and have come out
stronger.
Tom Cruise
The famous film star Tom Cruise had to move schools a lot when he was young. Because of this he found it hard to make friends and he got bullied at school. He says kids used to make fun of him, but the experience made him stronger and he now stars in loads of cool movies like "Mission Impossible" and "The Last Samurai".
David Roberts
David Roberts says that becoming a Welsh Paralympic gold medalist swimmer was a way of coping with bullying. Swimming was something they couldn’t bully him about because he was so good at it and now lots of the people who used to make fun of him want to be friends with him on Facebook!
Victoria Beckham
Ultra-famous pop-star Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) has also talked about being bullied in school. She said people used to push her around and threaten her. She tried to be friends with people, but felt she didn’t fit in. She certainly does now - she’s world famous and loved by millions!
