Was Ayu ever bullied?
Hi I remember reading or watching something about Ayu being bullied a long time ago before she was famous. I am doing a project for one of my classes about bullying and we have to find a celebrity who was once bullied. If Ayu was I would like to do it about her. So I would like to know if she has. Thanks. ^_^

I remember reading somewhere that she was extremely rebellious in high school. Being one of those people that would colour their hair, and wear high heels/short skirts to school. Which makes me think that Ayu was perhaps 'cool' in high school.
Who knows though, she could have been bullied in her primary/lower school years. |

So I guess her teacher's weren't that supportive, at least once upon a time. She also mentioned being alone, skipping class, not having anyone to talk to. This info is from either Light and Shadows -documentary or the one before that. But if you wanna mention a celebrity who was bullied, Winona Ryder is one. Her classmates once hit and kicked her to bruises in the school bathroom b/c of the ugly/cheap clothes she was wearing (her family didn't have enough money). But that's totally off topic |

Yeah no she was definitely an outcast... her mom got her a perm which made her look different, and her hair was naturally light so her mom would color it dark and it ended up looking off. The neighbors discouraged their kids from hanging out with her. It wasn't "bullying" in the sense that her peers were outright cruel to her, but she absolutely felt singled out as different and unwanted. And yes, teachers and authority figures would continuously tell her that she wasn't capable of doing well, which is why Max made such a difference in her life, cuz he said she could write well.

I wonder what it would be like to have known Ayu back then and what the reactions were as she went on to be the biggest thing in Japan.

Abe Natsumi from Morning Musume was bullied at school before entering the group. Also Kago Ai and Maki Goto (Both from Morning Musume) were bullied at the time they were popular members of Morning Musume.

Thanks everyone. I guess I should do it on somebody else? I remember reading or watching that a lot of the other children didn't really want to play with her, because she didnt have a father or something like that? I guess because it was still weird for a single parent to be raising a child alone? It was something like that. I think it was from that documentary Light and Shadows. I'm still not sure I haven't seen that documentary since I became an Ayu fan. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks again! ^_^

I think most of the material you're thinking about is on masa's site.
http://homepage2.nifty.com/morimasa/allnight.html http://homepage2.nifty.com/morimasa/rockin.html Her All Night Nippon interview in 1998 and the Rockin' On Japan interview from 2001. Quote:
