Victoria Beckham, renowned fashion designer and former Spice Girl, recently shared a heartfelt revelation about her own bullying experiences in school. In an Instagram post commemorating Anti-Bullying Week, she praised her youngest daughter, Harper, for her strength and compassion.

Harper's proud mother praised her daughter for her strength and caring, emphasizing the importance of instilling kindness in the next generation. Victoria's candor about her personal struggles adds a powerful layer to her message, urging parents to be mindful of the importance of instilling empathy in their children.

She wrote in the caption of her Instagram post, "BE THE KINDEST IN THE CLASSROOM! I’m so proud to raise a strong and caring daughter! Growing up I was bullied a lot at school, and I often tell Harper how important it is to be kind and call out if anyone is ever being bullied – especially if there’s ever another little girl on her own in the playground, because that was once her mummy! This #AntiBullyingWeek it’s so important to not be silent if someone is alone or being bullied. [heart emoji] xx Kisses #HarperSeven I love you so much xx."

Victoria revealed in a candid interview with the Anti-Bullying Alliance that she experienced significant bullying during her school years. During her formative years, the fashion designer admitted to struggling to make friends and experiencing the agony of isolation. She revealed, "I was bullied a lot. I often talk to Harper about that. I say, you know, if there's a little girl on her own in the playground that little girl was mummy and that hurts. She finds making friends very very easy. I never did. Go and talk to that little girl."

She discussed the importance of teaching Harper to be kind to everyone and to speak up against bullying in the clip. Victoria's strategy entails personalizing the experience for Harper by encouraging her to reach out to lonely people and drawing parallels between them and a younger version of her mother, per Hello Magazine.
