Demi Lovato has spoken about how she left school to escape bullies.

“Bullying is something I went through when I was 12 years old. I actually ended up leaving school because of it,” Demi said.

“I just remember the hard times that I went through that caused problems that I struggle with every day to this day.”

“I was bottling it up 100 per cent and one day I was in a bathroom and the lights were out, I couldn’t turn them on because you had to have a key in a separate part of the school.”

“I just called my mom and I was crying and I said ‘I don’t want to go to school any more’. It was a rough time, I was by myself.”

“I actually home schooled with Selena Gomez so she was a good friend to me then and she still is.”
