"Game of Thrones" star Natalie Dormer says she was "profoundly bullied" by girls in her teenage.

The 36-year-old actor said recalling the time brought back some painful memories which she did not want to revisit.

"(I was) profoundly bullied. I wouldn't go back to my teenage years for love nor money. You know the girls who everybody thinks they want to be - the ones who are dating the sexy boys, like the captain of the football team?

"I was nowhere near them. I was never an alpha girl and those girls terrified me... They still do," Dormer told YOU magazine.

The actor-turned-director said the attacks came through "meanness, name-calling, having the things I cared about undermined as worthless or pretentious".

 

"The true cleverness of psychological bullying is that if you are asked to describe to a teacher what someone has actually said or done, it looks like nothing at all," she added.
