Even a pop superstar like Lady Gaga wasn't immune to mean girls when she was a teen. In a new documentary called Lady Gaga: Inside the OutsideGaga recalls not fitting in and being tossed in a trash can while being bullied by fellow students. 

“I remember once some of the girls from my class, they were hanging out with some boys that I knew also," she says in the doc. "I went to meet some friends for some pizza that were at the same pizzeria and the boys picked me up and threw me in the trashcan, on the street. On the corner of my block while all the other girls from the school were leaving and could see me in the trash and everybody was laughing and I was even laughing. I always have that nervous… giggle and I just remember like holding back the tears and the lip quivering and don’t let them see you and I remember even one of the girls looking at me like “Are you about to cry? You’re pathetic.” That’s what I, that’s what I felt like, you’re pathetic. “Are you about to cry?” And I just, I remember I didn’t tell anybody, that’s what I remember. I remember I didn’t tell anybody. I remember I didn’t want to tell my parents because it was too embarrassing. And I remember I didn’t want to really bring it up with my girlfriends even though they were there.”

The interview will premiere on MTV on Thursday, May 26. Watch a video clip below.
