Justin Bieber says that he was bullied at school. “I was bullied. Most people in their lifetime have been bullied at some point. I think that it’s about time that people start making a change,” he said on the show Showbiz Tonight.
“A lot of the time, principals let it go, or teachers let it go, or other students just let it go, but I think this movie’s really powerful and can help change a lot of lives,” said the 18-year-old.
Meanwhile, he urges those who witness bullying, as well as those who experience it first-hand, to share the problem with someone and seek help.
He has lent his song Born to be Someone to a documentary about school children being bullied. Bieber has been supporting the documentary “Bully,” which sheds light on the issue taking place in America. “I think ['Bully'] is really powerful and can help change a lot of lives,” Bieber said.
