“I did get bullied a lot. Not feeling like I had that representation at school was very hard. I’ve always felt like the underdog in anything that I’ve ever done.” Allure Magazine

“I went through a semester when I didn’t have any friends in my lunch period, and I didn’t want to sit in a huge cafeteria by myself, so I would find classrooms to go sit in alone, or spend time in the bathroom, just chilling.” People Magazine

“I’m proud of my heart, and I like my eyes! I used to look at myself and feel not pretty enough. But I think it’s natural for people to feel that way sometimes. You feel like you have to look a certain way or be a certain way, but that’s not the case. This line is a way for me to be a part of a beauty community and say, I’m practicing and I’m learning, and you can too.” People Magazine
Colton Underwood
COLTON UNDERWOOD ON BEING BULLIED in PEOPLE Magazine
“I was called Fatso, Four Eyes and Four Lips because I used to lick my lips, so I’d always have a red ring around them. That set the tone for me all the way through my college days of being really insecure. In grade school I was socially awkward, and I became a little heavy.”
Jenna Ortega

“I understand social media for work purposes, but I despise it. It’s becoming a really unhealthy place, especially for young people.” People Magazine

“Fully realizing that you can’t make everybody happy. You could have all the good intentions in the world, and you’ll still get controversy or some type of negativity thrown your way. Sometimes you’ve just got to trust the universe, you know? You’ve got to just believe in yourself and do what you feel is really right. I think that adds up and builds confidence.” People Magazine
Dwayne Johnson “The Rock”
DWAYNE JOHNSON on depression
“The first time, I was 18 years old, and I had no idea what depression was. Back then it was called, “Get off the couch, get your s**t together, and change what’s happening here. I was always a better listener than I was a communicator in terms of sharing my feelings. The most important thing obviously is communicating and realizing that asking for help is actually the most powerful thing you can do, and it’s not a weakness. Men especially fall into this trap of being really averse to vulnerability. But the truth is, you have to hopefully over time, learn to embrace that. It’s all part of life.” People Magazine

“Growing up I never felt that I fit in. I was bullied a lot at school. But now, as an adult, I realize that the things that make me different are the best parts about me and they’re the things that I should celebrate.” The Voice
Serena Williams

“There were so many matches I won because something made me angry or someone counted me out. That drove me. I’ve built a career on channeling anger and negativity and turning it into something good. My sister Venus once said that when someone out there says you can’t do something, it is because they can’t do it. But I did do it. And so can you.” Vogue
