Miley Was Bullied, Lonely in High School

Singer was bullied at school, 'friendless'

Share

(Newser) – Miley Cyrus may have a fan club now, but in high school she had the “Anti-Miley Club,” she says in her autobiography, released yesterday. The actress-singer recalls being bullied at her Tennessee high school to the point that a grilled cheese sandwich “pretty much was my best friend,” the Sun reports. Of course, she learned a valuable lesson about standing up for herself from the experience.

“What could they do to me? I was surrounded by people. I stood up, still a foot shorter than they were, and said: ‘What’s your problem? What did I ever do to you?’” she writes. “I didn't dare forget the struggle. There was a reason for it. I brought that girl with me, and she reminds me to be compassionate.”

Um, she is like 15 now? Maybe just turned 16 a couple weeks ago? Why is she talking about when she was in high school like it was 10 years ago?? Shouldn't she be there now? And I sure haven't heard or seen anything about her going to high school in the last 2 years shes been in the news every day. Reply
