“Lady Gaga’s Unforgettable Comeback: How She Turned Bullies’ Cruelty Into Empowering Fame”
She wrote in a powerful Facebook post: “I remember coming across a Facebook group that broke my heart. Its name: ‘Stefani Germanotta, you will never be famous.’”
Lauren went on to explain that the page housed pictures of “a pretty Norah Jones-esque young 18-year-old NYU student who sang and played piano at local bars.”

However, the group was “peppered with comments, sharp as porcupine needles, vilifying the aspiring musician for being an ‘attention-wh*re.’”
Lauren admitted: “I couldn’t shake the raw feeling of filth while scrolling down that Facebook page, but I pretty much — and quickly — forgot about that group and that girl with the intense raven eyes.”
Lady Gaga’s college experience wasn’t the first time she experienced severe bullying.
Her parents enrolled her at Convent of Sacred Heart, an Upper East Side Catholic private school, where she got her first taste of how cruel kids could be. From then on, it didn’t stop.
“I used to do these really big Evita brows,” Lady Gaga told Rolling Stone in 2011.

She continued: “I used to self-tan, and I had this really intense tan in school, and people would say, ‘Why the f**k are you so orange, why do you do your hair that way, are you a d*ke? Why do you have to look like that for school?’
“I used to be called a sl*t, be called this, be called that. I didn’t even want to go to school sometimes.”
