“There’s nothing worse than another person having power over you by bullying you and you not knowing how to get rid of that thing,” says Susan Boyle who, for the first time, has openly and bravely revealed the torture she endured as a child.
Now an international singing sensation, Boyle wasn’t only bullied by her classmates. She was also beaten by her own teachers, she says, because she was a “wee bit slower.”
“You’re looking at someone who would get the belt every day,” Boyle tells the Daily Mirror in advance of her album’s release next week. “There was discipline for the sake of discipline back then,” says Boyle, who acknowledges she was a “slow learner.” She adds, “It’s all very different now. I think teachers are taught to understand children with learning disabilities a lot better.”
Gossip Cop actually thinks she taught everyone a lesson or two. Boyle hasn’t just “Dreamed A Dream.” With record-breaking pre-order sales for her album, Boyle is now living it.
