Being an actor was the reason why the Heroes babe was “ripped apart” by other kids at high school in New York. Hayden Panettiere said they were jealous of her career as a successful child actor that’s why she was bullied. She reveals,

“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 just ripped apart. It was very hard for me but I think it made me a stronger person and I’m glad that it happened.”

The weird thing is, Hayden Panettiere isn’t the only celebrity who was bullied while in high school. Jessica Alba also claimed that, the reason being was because she was of mixed race and different color. Anyway, Hayden was so badly tormented that her parents took her out of mainstream education and taught her at home instead. The “Hoodwinked 2″ voice talent shared,

“I went to regular school up until about 14 and then became home-schooled. So I had normal friends and I played normal sports and did a lot of things that kept me grounded.”
