Oddly enough, it doesn’t surprise me. Wasn’t Miley also a bully?

I’ll pass no judgment before I read Demi’s response, but if it’s true, she’s pretty low.  To demolish someone’s ego and self esteem and then tell the world that you were the victim rather than the violator is just disgusting.

Sadly, that wouldn’t surprise me.

Oh please, nobody was nice in elementary school. Everyone bullied, picked on, teased, everyone. I’ll admit to it, I remember one time i teased a boy in 3rd grade, and i also got teased and picked on, but now i’m super nice. Can’t judge someone from something they did in elementary school.

i’m not surprised either.  she seems a bit arrogant, even though her music is self-empowering and she went through rehab.

i imagine most child stars are similar.

I went to school with a celebrity who also claimed to be bullied all of the time (I’m keeping her nameless). Being in the outsider crowd, I can say that if she was, she would have been a lot nicer to my friends and myself during our time in school. Remembering how the cliques were, I can also easily say that she was with a popular group of kids who liked to bully… a lot. The only time she might be able to say she was actually “bullied” in school was when she got into some kind of fight with another schoolmate who came from “da hood.”

I honestly don’t believe celebrities when they say they’ve been bullied all through school. I feel like they just want to get attention that way.

Of course Demi’s probably lying. Bullying is now the best way to gain pity; she’s milking that cash cow quite well. Would be child stars and child stars are raised being told they’re the best, of course they’re going to be assholes. 

The story seems quite believable! And pinning someone on a picnic table thts just too much! Ive never liked Demi but if this turns out to be true…man how disgraceful. >.<

@iwannabeskinny831@xanga - um, no, not everyone did. 

I have no feelings toward Demi Lovato one way or the other, but I’m not going to pass judgment on her without knowing her side… if it even happened.  I can’t say I believe everything I read on the internet.

I think a lot of people do things in elementary school that are not necessarily indicative of who they will be later on in life. I was pretty mean and nasty to a couple of people at that age, and even then, I really had no idea why. Looking back, I think it was peer pressure- my best friend didn’t like them, so neither did I. Now, of course, I would never do anything like that (or be friends with someone who did).

What’s with her boobs in that picture? :/

Just because she bullied other people doesn’t mean she wasn’t bullied as well. Two wrongs don’t make a right, but sometimes it sure does make you feel better. It really doesn’t matter to me either way.

wouldn’t put it pass her

She’s been through rehab. Obviously she has some problems.

@Xx_SCRiBBLY@xanga - That’s called “a pushup where even a pushup won’t work” job.

I was popular during grade school but I didn’t abuse my power. classmates admired me, not fear me via bullying. I was bullied during high school by a bitter fat chick. she left me alone after her friend sided with me and became my friend, so then she was the shameful outsider:D anyway if this did happen, I’m not surprised. although I’m a fan of her music to begin with.

I think everyone’s probably both been bullied and been the bully at some point in his or her life. I’m sure there’s one person out of every 10,000 that’s never been teased, and 1 person out of every 100,000 that’s never teased another. It’s human; if you said you never have, you’re probably lying. It doesn’t make you a good or bad person necessarily, especially if it was during grade school.

I’m just your average person and at times in school I was teased pretty relentlessly. At times I teased others pretty badly, as well. I don’t think that’s anything particularly extraordinary.

Who the fuck cares? She was a kid. Granted she’s still young but she’s not 13 anymore. I used to bully this one girl with my friends all the time for being chubby, and now I feel horrible about it (not to mention that I’m a chubby girl myself). I don’t feel AS horrible about it as I did before since we became friends again in high school, but still. I know I was in the wrong. Just because you might have been a little douchebag as a kid doesn’t mean you stay a douchebag forever.

she gets so much rubbish written up about her, i feel bad.

You know what, lots of people could have been bullies. Let it go, she’s learned from her mistakes. 

@hollowhopes@xanga - I really agree with you. I have been teased in my past and I was a bully (which I regret) in my past but if the people I met today that I bullied I would apologize and respect them (hopefuly) because I’m a changed person. I think the only way we can look at a person and see who they are is in their current state and at the same time people can always change. 

Oh come on. The girl is clearly insecure. Of course in some instance she probably made somebody else feel like shit in order to try and make herself feel better. Plus who cares, she was young and its over now. Get over it and go to therapy like she did instead of consulting the media.

You don’t know who is telling the truth in a story like this. On one hand, kids can be brats, but on the other, that girl is still obsessed with it? JEESE I was harassed, picked on, teased, bullied, called names, exluded, you name it in school since I was just starting out in kindergarten, and now I look back and realize those kids were just jerks and I came out totally fine today. If Demi did do those things, I can understand some residual hurt, but really..

We were mean at one time or another.

I actually read the story and NO ONE in the comments believes it. I don’t believe it. No one’s perfect and I’m sure she probably picked on someone at some point, but the story just sounds really fake.

I remember I was mean to others when I was younger…but I cooled down and I’m a much better person now. We were all mean to each other at one point. 

If she was a bully, I’d say she’s getting hers back in full. Don’t you think?

EVERY SINGLE BODY hurts someone at some point. That’s all I have to say.

I’m not sure how much I believe this. The article seems faked and has some irrelevant/contradicting comments.

Some of the things in the story don’t add up so I think it’s b.s.

I think the author of that post was dramatizing her feelings a tad. No one is nice in elementary school.

I think the girl who wrote the entry was being a little too dramatic. I mean, if Demi did bully the girl, I could see that Demi would now saying bullying is wrong. I would assume she would realize that bullying is wrong.

@WhenHateIsTheOnlyOption@xanga - I hate bulliez.  Some people were never mean.  not me, not ever, because, why?

There was once a side to Demi that wasn’t pleasant???  Didn’t she go to rehab because she punched one of her dancers in the face?  That doesn’t sound pleasant.  (If it is true.)

im not going to comment until Demi responds to this. I think she was bullied in school and i think this person is just saying this for attention  

overall, Demi shouldn’t have said she was being bullied at school if this story is true or not.. bc its most likely not true. I hate celebrities and their bully stories…you’re famous and rich.. awesome…get over it.

It probably did happened, but when you’re a kid, your memories are exaggerated too. 

I read on oh no they didn’t! That Demi bullied some girls and tried to give them makeovers.

@Xbeautifully_broken_downX@xanga - I agree.

I don’t really believe she was a “bully” 

Big deal. I wasn’t so great in middle school either. Lots of young kids don’t know better.

@MoonFaeEyryan@xanga - Agree completely. If all of these stars who claim to have been bullied in school really experienced it, we have a bullying epidemic on our hands. And let’s face it, they’re all gorgeous – what’s there to pick on?

aww, how sad. poor girl  

@iwannabeskinny831@xanga - No not everyone bullied people, and it’s incredibly damaging. I was bullied in elementary and middle school and a lot of my social and personal anxiety was caused from that. So no thinking bullying is okay at any age is not alright.

It wouldn’t surprise me. I can really identify with what that girl wrote and the emotions behind it and the detailing of it doesn’t seem like something someone could easily fake but it is possible. We probably will never know the truth if Demi denies it because I doubt she’ll own up to it if its true. Especially if she claimed to be bullied.

@starvinghigh@xanga -  Well, i wasn’t meaning that it was ok at any age. i was mainly just pointing out that you can’t just judge someone for something they did in elementary school. In middle school or high school it’s more understandable to hate bullies. Believe me, i have been bullied my whole life. For my weight, for being to smart and being a nerd. I know what it’s like, and cause of the bullying that happened in middle and high school, i ended up cutting and starving.

Still my point was that you can’t really judge how a person is from how they acted in elementary school, kids are young, and sometimes don’t realize what they are doing, or in some cases they think it could help them make friends. 

I feel bad she took that down. She should have kept it up. But i believe it. Girls like Demi act like the victim but are really the tormentor. And it is middle and elementary if you are a pretty little girl and you knew you were pretty, you teased the ugly little girls and made them feel like crap.

@TheScienceOfChic - 

I had friends who were cheerleaders on the same competition squad as Miley Cyrus, and even the teachers will tell you she was a snot.

but then again everytime i was there i never heard her say anything hateful, she was kind of obnoxious but not really mean.

The story seems a bit overly dramatized, but I believe it. Demi seems like the type of person to do that, judging by some of her tweets and the fact that she punched her dancer in the face.. She doesn’t seem like a nice person.

Whether it’s true or fake, does it really matter? This is in the far-away past. She has moved on. She’s different. She was a child at the time. Children aren’t always very nice. Let’s move on.

wouldn’t surprise me.

@iwannabeskinny831@xanga - Oh I’m not saying she’s a horrible person in fact she sought out help for those problems she did have. I think if this girl was telling the truth she just had plenty of pent up resentment over the years. She might not have really ever expressed her anger or feelings at the situation. I know plenty of people that bullied in school and some end up becoming great people are they just keep on being the way they are. I think its who the person later becomes that matters. But I also don’t blame the girl for her anger if its true.

POST IT ON HERE. Stop posting links to other sites. Either write a post and post it, or don’t write anything at all. It’s not your article.

I’m not clicking it.

I think the story is pretty believable, but at the same time, I feel like if the writer of that post really wanted to take Demi down a notch she would have included some old class photo of them both or some evidence that she really does know her.She had to be smart enough to realize that not everyone would buy into her sob story without some evidence backing it up.

It’s hard to believe when you’re not there.  It’s always their words against the other.  Who really is telling the truth?  Who knows..

I don’t really buy it.. but then again if you’ve been bullied at some point you’re going to snap.

I actually live by Grapevine. And I know several girls who went to school with her. And they all said she was the bully. So I choose to believe this.

i don’t know demi, so i can’t say… but if it’s true, i’d be pissed.

I mean it was grade school Why cant` they just make up and not try to get Publicy off it ! Id` wether her go to E news wether then  say something silly online. Demi has been put through enough Everyone says stuff , sometimes` They say to much. Honestly how do we know Shes telling the truth For all we know She could get money out of makeing Demi look bad. some people can be mean and then Theres ` the cool kind mean girl type and then theres the Girls` who are down right sad! my version of mean would be someone acting like your not there or someone calling you ugly thats` sad ! sometimes people have a reason to act the way they do .

Demi was and still is a bully. She says she has changed in 1 year but she made fun of people, gossiped about people and is still really mean to people. I just spoke to her the other night and told her I was going to bring my daughter to see her in Springfield, and because of an issue with one of her friends she said she would kick me out of her concert and that I was a psycho. I was in treatment with her and she was really mean to a lot of people. She yelled at people and made them cry. She is just like everyone else except with extreme mood disorders. She talks bad about alot of people from sets like disney and anyone she doesn’t like she treats very mean. She is two faced and I cannot believe she is a role model. 

ok i actually went to middle school with her, and she was very nice. to pretty much everyone, except those who were mean to her. she never “bullied” anyone….that i remember

Who am I to say that she was a bully or not? I will never know but I do know one thing… I was bullied in elementary school and I was accused of being the bully. Bullies try almost anything to make you feel worse so they feel more superior. I went home everyday crying everyday until time healed me temporarily and then things only started to get worse. The principal bought the bullies story and I got expelled, I couldn’t get over this for years until I got treatment.
