Chris Rock: “ Bullying Made Me Who I Am” (1356 hits)
Comedian Chris Rock’s has starred in a number of movies and toured the world in sold-out arenas. But little did we know he was bullied as a child.
The bullying began when he was in second grade.
“We lived in Bed-Stuy, one of the most famous ghettos in the world,” Chris says. “My mother and father wanted me to go to a better school, so I was bused to this poor, white neighborhood…
I was the only black boy in my grade for most of the time. I was a little guy, too, a skinny runt.”
Chris says his bullying isn’t as uncommon as people may think.
“Put the most successful men and women in the world in one room, and ask them to put their hands up to see which ones were bullied. Most of ‘em!”
The devil us a liar; bullying doesn't make you successful. If that were true, kids wouldn't commit suicide over it.
