Victoria Beckham was bullied "mentally and physically" at school.
The 44-year-old fashion designer - who has children Brooklyn, 20, Romeo, 17, Cruz, 14, and Harper, eight, with husband David Beckham - has used her painful past to instill in her daughter the importance of girls being "kind" to other girls.
She said: "I was bullied a lot at school, mentally and physically and the fact that I can talk to Harper about that and how girls should be kind to girls... I use my own experiences."

Victoria believes it is important to set a good example to her kids so that they know how to be "healthy and happy" with themselves.
