Actor Bruno Amato - as seen in shows such as Revenge, 2 Broke Girls, Sons of Anarchy and the upcoming comedy The Internship - exclusive anti-bullying story for BullyVille.com

Growing up my parents sent me to Catholic School from first grade to 8th Grade. I was a pretty popular kid there, even voted class clown. I always gave the nuns a hard time. It was a fun time in my life. Then high school came. I went to a big public high school that was four towns combined. I was a nobody there and I was a skinny kid too. I think having the name Bruno even made me more of a target, I guess they could brag to their friends about bullying someone with such a strong sounding name. Being bullied totally destroyed my self esteem, I wouldn't even think about talking to girls. I joined the Navy after graduating, and started weight training too, before I knew it, I wasn't that skinny kid anymore. years later I would see some of those same kids that picked on me and I had to laugh, I could be bullying them now. Life is funny like that. Things get better. And I see what some of those bullies look like today and how their lives turned out. Let's just say, karma is real.
