It even happened to Hannah Montanna

Even Miley Cyrus was bullied relentlessly at school
For Miley, the abuse eventually stopped, but for the 30 percent of kids who undergo school hazing each year (stats are fuzzy since many cases go unreported), this type of treatment can lead to depression, even suicide.

I'll definitely be showing this story to Leanna.

(This subject is apparently a timely one, as even the American Girl doll of the year deals with bullying. 2009's doll, Chrissa deals with the subject, and although the dolls are pricey, the books are a lot more reasonable.)

It took a minute til I figured out that was just missing an S!

At first I wondered why you mentioned Van Halen and not good 'ol Ozzy, but then I watched it! And it's David Lee Roth, not Eddie Van Halen as they have labeled it.
