Lady Gaga

The ‘Born This Way’ singer often recounts in interviews how she was bullied for years as a schoolgirl.

At one point, a group of girls even threw her in a trash can.

The torment inspired Gaga to prove people wrong by forging a career in music.

She told the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera: "In some way, my career has been an answer to that social reject I felt."
