Mischa Barton has revealed that she was bullied in school for being an ‘outsider’. The 24-year-old former O.C actress said that moving from England to the US when she was just five years old made her an easy target for other kids. She told Contact Music, “I think that’s why I grew up so fast and have always been a bit of an outsider. “I was in public school in New York where all the kids were in black jeans and Nike sneakers and I was wearing little stockings and Mary-Janes and perpetually getting my a*s kicked in my bottle glasses. “The kids around me at school had realised I was an actress and I started getting teased.” She added, “I wasn’t popular so it was easy to integrate me in and out without kids asking too many questions but then The Sixth Sense came out. I would have liked to have been popular. I would have liked to have not been on the periphery so much.”
