Many celebrities are speaking out against bullying and sharing their own experiences of harassment in attempt to reach out to struggling teenagers.

"Gossip Girl’s" Michelle Trachtenberg was physically abused and thrown down stairs by mean girls. Jessica Simpson’s home was egged and toilet papered. Even Hollywood’s revered beauty, Jessica Alba, says, “I was bullied so badly my dad used to have to walk me into school so I didn’t get attacked.”

"Glee’s" Chris Colfer was a victim of bullying and supports the Trevor Project, “a confidential suicide hotline for gay and questioning youth.” In Colfer’s PSA for Trevor Project he says, “It may seem like there’s no chance of happiness left, but I promise you there is a world full of acceptance and love just waiting for you to find it.”
