Looking at everything Ben has been able to achieve at such a young age (and let's not forget to include how hot he is looking these days), it's hard to imagine Ben being bullied at school when he was younger. He is such a great example of how things can change to the better. If Ben can turn around his bad experiences, then surely that's a great inspiration for anyone in a similar situation. He speaks about his experiences in the October issue of Sugar Magazine.

"Bullies made me hate myself"
Singer Ben Adams' school life was hell

I was bullied for a year when I was 12. I was fat, wore glasses, and people picked on me because of it. I was at boarding school, which made it worse. I couln't escape.

There was a group of ten boys which would chase me after class, punch me, grab me in places they shouldn't... After a couple of months, I just stayed in my room. I was too scared.

I couldn't talk to anyone about it. I didn't want to make it worse, and I felt embarrassed - like there was something wrong with me. I didn't understand why I didn't fit in. I'd cry myself to sleep, wishing I was someone else.

I'm sure other people were being picked on, but I was so down, I just felt totally alone. Eventually I told my parents, and I left the school. I just wish I'd spoken up earlier.
