Madonna Owes Her Success To The Bullies
April 2, 2008
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Madonna says she attributes her success to the bullies that picked on her in school. She admits she was considered a “weirdo” during her high school days in the 1970s, but decided to use her classmates’ cruelty as a springboard to success.
“I wasn’t a hippie or a stoner, so I ended up being the weirdo. I was interested in classical ballet and music, so the kids were quite mean if you were different. I was one of those people that people were mean to. When that happened, instead of being a doormat, I decided to emphasize my differences. I didn’t shave my legs. I had hair growing under my arms. I refused to wear makeup, or fit the ideal of what a conventionally pretty girl would look like. So, of course, I was tortured even more.”

I’m the same age as madonna, although I wasn’t an a lister in school either, I didn’t have much problems with the bullies. but every one gets picked on in school,even the bullies. the bullies just handle the razzing in a poor manner. I was and still am a madonna fan. I mean look at the girl!!
