(Luv the Buzz - Media) In her new MTV special Lady Gaga, who was just named as Forbes top celebrity, says she was bullied in high school.

"The boys picked me up and threw me in the trash can on the street, on the corner of my block while all the other girls from the school were leaving and could see me in the trash."


The pop prodigy remembers fighting back the tears, not wanting her tormentors to see the way their bullying affected her.



"Everybody was laughing and I was even laughing. I had that nervous giggle ... I remember even one of the girls looking at me like 'are you about to cry? You're pathetic.' That's what it felt like, you're pathetic.


"The "Born this Way" singer was too embarrassed to tell anyone, even her parents, about the incident.


"It didn't sink in with me how bullying affected me until later in my life. I knew that it affected me deeply but it wasn't until a little bit later that I realized how much it affect me and how much it was still very present."But Gaga realized that she needed to share her struggles to help heal herself. "I think it took me to get to know my fans and to see similar struggles in them to access that wound in myself," she explained.


The MTV special will air later this month on May 26th.
