Susan Boyle has revealed that she considered suicide after she became a victim of bullies as a teenager.
The Scots singer admitted that she had suffered from psychological bullying and seeked professional help to overcome her ordeal.
She told the News of the World: "When I was 17 I did think about doing something nasty. It was all psychological. I was damaged.
"I had to get help from a professional. I also had to see a doctor who gave me treatment."
She added: "You mustn't be afraid to do that. It's not a sign of weakness.
"It gave me the confidence to fight back, knock on people's doors, audition and finally get what I wanted.
"In my case it was a small group of teenage girls that put me to that place. They're the worst kind. It can really hold you back and damage you. Mental bullying is the worst kind of bullying."
The Britain's Got Talent star added that she "will not let fame" change her and added that it is "nicer to stay grounded".
