She may be seen as a fashion icon, and a pop star now, but in school, things didn’t go so well for Lady Gaga. The singer, who once attended the same New York private school as Paris Hilton, opened up about the bullying she experienced due to her eccentric ways.

“I always gravitated to different things, I was eccentric. I went to a school full of spoiled kids,” she said.

“[They made fun of] the way I dressed and talked. Even when I went to art school I was a bit of a sore thumb, but that’s because I wasn’t interested in being put through the sausage machine.

“I could be insecure — all that ‘who’s saying what behind your back’ stuff, but I hid in my work.”

I can see Lady Gaga being one of those kids in school who wasn’t just eccentric because that was who they were, but because of the reaction they got. (Kermit the Frog shirt, anyone?)  At least she now has a forum where instead of getting teased, and bullied, she can sparkle in the spotlight.
