"Mischa Barton has revealed that she was bullied at school after she moved to the US from the UK as a child. She told Bang Showbiz that she struggled to fit in at school as she was different to the other children. The O.C. star said: &amp;quot;I think that&amp;#039;s why I grew up so fast and have always been a bit of an outsider. I was in public school in New York where all the kids were in black jeans and Nike sneakers and I was wearing little stockings and Mary-Janes and perpetually getting my ass kicked in my bottle glasses.&amp;quot; Barton added that she strived to become more popular at school, saying: &amp;quot;I still am insecure but young Mischa was terribly insecure. The kids around me at school had realised I was an actress and I started getting teased. &amp;quot;I wasn&amp;#039;t popular so it was easy to integrate me in and out without kids asking too many questions, but then The Sixth Sense came out. I would have liked to have been popular. I would have liked to have not been on the periphery so much.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
