Hayden
Panettiere "Tortured" by Bullies 4/20/08
Hayden Panettiere was such a successful child actor, she was
"tortured" by school bullies.
The Heroes actress - who began her career aged eight months - admits
she was targeted by bullies over jealousy.
But the 18-year-old is pleased she was the victim.
She says, "At school I was teased a lot because I was an actor.
They used to be awful. I went through a big period where I was tortured at
school.
Absolutely ripped apart.
"It was very hard for me but I think it made me a stronger person
and I'm glad that it happened."
