Stefani Germanotta, better known as Lady Gaga, is famous for her extravagant style. She has always been different, and she says that’s why she was bullied when she was at secondary school. Gaga has told the media that other pupils made fun of her for being ugly, being fat, having a big nose, being annoying, having a funny laugh and being weird. She was also constantly asked why she liked singing, why she was keen on theatre and why she did her make-up the way she did. Gaga has said that sometimes it got so bad she didn’t even want to go to school. Since then Lady Gaga has become rich, famous and successful for some of the things she was once bullied about, so she decided to try and help young people who found themselves in the situation she was in at school. In 2011, she and her mother Cynthia started a non-profit organization called Born This Way Foundation (BTWF). Its aim is to build a society where people accept each other’s differences and individuality. Gaga wants to bring young people together to create a new kind of community, based on three things：safety, the skills and opportunities to make a kinder, braver world. For many teenagers who are bullied, home is no escape because the bullying continues online. Lady Gaga has met Barack Obama to discuss action against cyber-bullying, and also demands more moderators on social media sites. Born This Way Foundation has been helping young people to set up “Born Brave” school and community groups. The aim of these groups is to encourage young people to be more tolerant. The charity wants everyone to feel safe in their community, school, home, wherever they live, and to develop the skills they need to live in peace with other people.
