Looking Back
HOT GALLERY: Celebs and Their Back to School Confessions!
Grab your band uniform and start practicing your comebacks, because school is back in session. You might be surprised at some of the A-listers who suffered the wrath of mean girls and bullies, but the teasing they survived may be part of the secret to their success. By Kacey Arnold
THEN: Christina Hendricks in High School, 1993
Then mocked for her goth hair-color-changing ways, Christina told The Mirror, “I had the worst high school experience ever. I went to a very mean school and was bullied like crazy. I was a bit of a goth with purple hair and I was also part of the drama group, so my friends and I were all weird theater people and everyone just hated us. There was a long corridor with lockers on either side and kids would sit on top of them and spit on you.… Kids can be pretty judgmental about people who are different. But instead of breaking down and conforming, I stood firm.” And now millions of men would weep for a chance to be in the voluptuous star’s presence.

I went to school with this girl, the spitting and bullying is untrue. There were jerks just like anywhere else, but nothing crazy. It was actually the least troublesome school in the area. Christina was kind of a snob, from what I remember. Not everyone thought the drama folks were weirdos, just a few of them.
