Panettiere ‘Tortured’ By Bullies

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
targetted 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.”
