Playing a nasty schoolgirl in the new dark comedy Young Adult, Charlize Theron has said that she was the girl who never fit in during her own school days.

Speaking to People magazine she said: "I wore really nerdy glasses because I was blind as could be and the boys didn't like me."

She added: "I wasn't in the popular crowd. There was a really popular girl at school and I was obsessed with her. I mean you would go to jail for that stuff today. I was in tears one day because I couldn't sit next to her."

Theron further revealed that she was bullied by her classmates over her appearance saying: "I actually got a lot of the mean girl stuff from the ages of 7 to 12. I was pretty much a mess in primary school. But I got that out of my system by the time I got to high school and was more immune to all of that stuff."
