Denola Grey is opening up on how he was bullied while in boarding house in secondary school. The media personality revealed that he began suffering anxiety from a young age and this anxiety developed into depression. He believes it was triggered by the bullying he was subjected to as a child.
He said he developed a distrust and fear for people and this led to excessive drinking. This continued until he decided that wasn’t the life he wanted for himself. He started seeing a therapist in 2012 when he was meant to move back to Nigeria.
He disclosed that he was bullied in boarding school in Kwara state because his body was too skinny and this made his head look bigger. He was also bullied because he wasn’t “masculine”, didn’t play sports, and all the other things boys are known to enjoy.“In boarding school in Adesoye, my nickname for two years was Barbie. I was like 11, 12 years old. It was so mean. Kids are awful.”
