It turns out Lindsay Lohan was bullied in high school, at least according to her twitter, where she posted tweets about her traumatic experience growing up as a childhood actress after being inspired by Katie Couric’s discussion with bullied 16-year-old Whitney Kropp.
@katiecouric I was actually bullied @ my public school when i would leave to film. Whenever I came back… girls & boys would call me names.

@katiecouric They would also mock me because of my home situation, when people found out that my father was in jail..

@katiecouric they would yell things, try to trip me & more…I moved to home-schooling instead. In 11th grade. I stuck it out for a while.

@katiecouric so i can relate to the girls that you spoke with on your show today. I appreciate you reaching out to them. xo

We feel really bad for you, LiLo. It must have been horrible growing up as a celebrity in high school making millions of dollars. Although her tweeting is probably just another attempt to get people to give her attention, at least the star is sending a good moral message.
@katiecouric I think what you did today on your show for #WhitneyKropp was lovely. It had me crying. I’d love to meet her. #stopbullying

Bullying is NEVER okay, not even when it’s being done to LiLo.
