Paramore’s lead singer, Hayley Williams reveals her bullying ordeal to Sugar magazine in the December 2010 issue. Williams says the torment was too much for her to endure on a day to day basis and was home schooled as an alternative:

“I went to one school for six weeks and I was miserable. Even the teachers didn’t like me. The girls were such b**ches. They would invite me to parties and I wouldn’t go because I didn’t want to be around them, then the next day at school, there would be all these rumours about me, like, ‘Hayley’s a s**t’, ‘Hayley’s gay’.

“I went home crying, saying, ‘Mum, I’m such a loser, I’m never going back’. She saw how upset I was and she was like, ‘Okay’.”

Hayley’s family had moved from Mississippi to Tennessee when she had to be pulled out. The 21 year-old did have something great come from that move: she met her future band mates Josh Farro, Zac Farro and Jeremy Davis.
