Oli Sykes: "Tell someone if you're being bullied"

In this week's Kerrang! magazine, some of the biggest stars in our world discuss their time at school.

Paramore's Hayley Williams reveals she was home schooled, You Me At Six's Josh Franceschi tells us how he was kicked out of his geography class for being a gobby so and so and Enter Shikari's Rou Reynolds reveals how he was expelled on his last day of school.

Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes however has used his school anecdote to address a much more serious issue - bullying.

"I was very quiet at school because I was bullied," he told Kerrang! "Apart from a small group of friends, no-one liked me so I kept my head down.

"It was a horrible time and it was tough because I felt like I couldn't talk to anyone about what was going on," he adds. "I think you should though. There's nothing wrong with telling someone if you're going through something. Fuck the bullies, they're cowards."

If you are being bullied at school, tell a friend, tell a teacher or tell your parents. But please tell someone.
