Mika's teacher torment
11th July 2007 08:30:02

Mika was bullied by his teacher when he was at school.

The 'Grace Kelly' singer, who was ridiculed by fellow pupils throughout his childhood, claims he was shocked when his "nasty" teacher began picking on him.

He told Seven magazine: "The bullying was out of control. I was even picked on by one of my teachers, a female teacher.

"I don't know why she did it. I didn't provoke her. I wasn't the first and I imagine I wasn't the last she picked on. She was just a nasty piece of work. I wasn't brave. I was not a fighter in the classroom. I lost I was lame. I admit it. I saw myself more as the slow and stubborn turtle who quietly got on with what he was doing, knowing I would one day win the race."

The 23-year-old flamboyant star believes the bullying he suffered as a child caused his dyslexia to spiral out of control.

He said: "They used to throw things at me and call me a f***ing poof. I stopped talking and then I stopped reading and writing. That was baaad. I couldn't even write the name of my school. It was weird because at seven I could sight-read, then all my problems with dyslexia started. To this day I cannot sight-read. I cannot spell properly. My verbal IQ is high but not my written IQ!"

Poor Mika. I'm glad he's out of it now and can't be hurt by her.

ItÂ´s one thing if pupils are bullying, but teachers? Thats seriously and utterly wrong!! That teacher would be in serious trouble if i knew who she was

I kiss to Mika, for having to put up with it

aww..it's awfule that certain teachers act this way

Unfortunately, teachers bully students all the time. I had a teacher like that after I first moved to the USA, and she was awful. I ended up getting stress-induced stomach pains whenever I had to go to school because of her, and I wasn't even the only one in class she was horrid to.

Poor Mika had to deal with bullying from both kids and teachers, though.

Some teachers are just cows. I had one like that last year. I'm so glad I got put in a different class this year. It wasn't just me she picked on though, it was my friend too. It's like she hated the quiet smart ones. She'd interrogate me everytime I was off, yet if another teacher was there she'd really suck up to me. I absolutely hated it. It was as if she was just like the nasty kids that were there too.
I can't believe that people have to go through this by teachers as well as stupid kids too. Especially Mika.

I do hate to hear things like that about people. I know how it can feel when things happen like that. It knocks your self confidence out of the window.

That sort of bullying can do a lot of damage.
