"Pitch Perfect 2" actress Hailee Steinfeld says besides her filmy career, bullying was also a reason she was home-schooled.
Steinfeld, 18, said she sometimes finds it hard when she misses out on ordinary teenage experiences, reported Female First.
"(Bullying) was a factor. Along with (my film) schedule picking up. I was the new kid in school so that came into play. There was no second thought, because it was all around a not-so-great experience," she said.
"It is definitely hard, being on the other side of the world, knowing that you're missing out. (On my 18th birthday) I was texting my friends: 'Guys, I'm 18!' The next day I woke up to all these messages saying happy birthday, and by that time, I was kind of over it.
