I was bullied by Mean Girls at school, reveals Lindsay Lohan in Twitter exchange with Katie Couric - She was the target of bullies in her hit film Mean Girls, and it seems the same happened in real life for Lindsay Lohan.
The Liz & Dick actress was moved to tears by chat show host Katie Couric's interview with bullied 16-year-old Whitney Kropp, who was elected prom queen by her peers as a joke, and Lindsay took to twitter to take a stand against bullying.
Bullied: Lindsay Lohan, pictured here in New York on Tuesday, has revealed she was mocked by her classmates while in school
The 26-year-old, who was spotted in New York on Tuesday, revealed she was targeted by her classmates for landing successful acting roles as a teenager and was mocked for her dysfunctional family situation.
In a message to the talk show host, she wrote: '@katiecouric I think what you did today on your show for #WhitneyKropp was lovely. It had me crying. I'd love to meet her.#stopbullying'.
She continued: 'I was actually bullied @ my public school when i would leave to film. Whenever I came back girls & boys would call me names.

'They would also mock me because of my home situation, when people found out that my father was in jail.'
The tormenting got so bad that the actress - who famously played a school misfit turned bully in teen comedy Mean Girls - decided to drop out of school in favour of home tutoring.
Lindsay added: 'They would yell things, try to trip me & more. I moved to home-schooling instead. In 11th grade. I stuck it out for a while.'

Meanwhile Lindsay wants police to reopen their investigation into the man she claims attacked her.
She filed a report claiming she was choked and thrown to the floor by Christian LaBella after she confronted him for taking pictures of her in a New York City hotel room at the weekend but after police decided to drop all charges, Lindsay revealed she is furious and 'in shock'.
She told the New York Post’s Page Six: 'He isn’t going to get away with this. I’m in shock and it was a really scary situation.'
However, Christian’s uncle Peter Jessop insists his nephew is innocent and blasted Lindsay’s mother Dina Lohan for her remarks about the incident.
He said: 'He doesn’t deserve this. It’s amazing that her mom said, "Thank God he didn’t have a weapon" - of course he didn’t have a weapon. He’s a good kid, he’s worked for two congressmen. He just went to New York for the weekend. Hopefully this doesn’t cost him his job. He is in shock about how the media has twisted this story.'
Lindsay had claimed Christian befriended someone in her group at 1 Oak nightclub with the intention of getting closer to her.
She said they later got into a heated physical argument after she found out he had taken more than 50 photographs of her and was emailing them to his friends.
Lindsay reported the incident to police at 4:30am on Sunday and alleged she was choked from behind and thrown on to the ground in her room at the W Hotel in Manhattan where she was staying with friends. ( dailymail.co.uk )
