High school wasn’t the happiest time for Christina Hendricks.

The actress has revealed she was bullied a lot by other kids after her family moved from Twin Falls in Idaho to Fairfax, Virginia. She was 13 at the time.

She told The Guardian: ”We had a locker bay, and every time I went down there to get books out of my locker people would sit on top and spit at me, so I had to have my locker moved because I couldn’t go in there…I felt scared in high school.

”It was like Lord of the Flies. There was always some kid getting pummeled and people cheering.”

Christina found comfort in drama classes and became a goth. However, her parents didn’t like that and were worried she would lose all her friends.

She said: ”My parents would say, ‘You’re just alienating everyone. You’ll never make any friends looking like that.’ And I would say, ‘I don’t want those people to be my friends. I’m never going to be friends with the people who beat up a kid while everyone is cheering them on. I hate them.’ ”
