Susan Boyle bullied in school!

In a recent interview, Susan Boyle discusses her difficult childhood. Bullied by school chums and beaten by her teachers, she tells the horror stories of her youth.

Said Boyle, “You’re looking at someone who would get the belt every day. ‘Will you Shut up, Susan!’ – whack!

I was often left behind at school because of one thing or another. I was a slow learner. I’m just I’m a wee bit slower at picking things up than other people. So you get left behind in a system that just wants to rush on, you know? That was what I felt was happening to me.

There’s nothing worse than another person having power over you by bullying you and you not knowing how to get rid of that thing.

There was discipline for the sake of discipline back then. But it’s all very different now. I think teachers are taught to understand children with learning disabilities a lot better.”
