Some Famous victims of Bullying:

Kate Winslet, Orlando Bloom, Eminem, Tom Cruise and

Sarah-Michelle Gellar.

Brian McFadden

• Brian was bullied at school because of his weight and because he used to sing and dance there - it wasn't cool. He says that he always had to be on the defence so it made him sharper. He always knew he'd get the last laugh.

Lahmea

• Lahmea was bullied at school and decided to do something about it. Combining her songwriting and singing talents with the experiences that she'd had and things she saw around her, Lahmea has spoken at a number of conferences on bullying, has produced an album of songs on bullying and crime and won an award for her work in the community.

• Danny had three years of verbal bullying at school. His advice is not to be afraid to tell someone about it. The people bullying are the people who've got the problem, not you. Eventually he hooked up with a different group of people and they all stuck up for each other.

Jennifer Ellison

• At school Jen saw herself as geeky and one of the girls in her class would hit her. At first she was afraid to tell anyone but once she'd let her Mum help, the girl was suspended. Years later Jen bumped into the girl again - behind the checkout in the supermarket. She thinks it's really important not to bottle it up - if it's happening to you, tell someone.
