Justin Bieber, Bullied in School, Stands Up for Victims in Song

Justin Bieber, 18-year-old Canadian crooner, was once a victim of bullying, the young singer has revealed.

Bieber, the boyfriend of entertainer Selena Gomez, recently opened up about being bullied in school. The singer told HLN TV that many times the bullying went unaddressed.

"A lot of the time, principals let it go, teachers let it go, other students just let it go," Bieber told HLN. "If you're a bystander, too, tell somebody, because a lot of times, it's just not spoken of, and you ended up keeping it all inside, and it just hurts even more."
