15-year-old actress Millie Bobby Brown has recently opened up about the "soul-breaking" experience of being bullied when she was younger.

In a talk with British actor Orlando Bloom for the May digital issue of Glamour UK, she said she is now an activist for young people's rights. "I was bullied at school back in England. So, it's extremely important for me to speak out against bullying," Brown shares. "I actually switched schools because of it. It created a lot of anxiety and issues that I still deal with today. "

Brown's efforts led to her being named the youngest-ever UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 2018.

Brown recently visited China, promoting her first feature film, "Godzilla: King of the Monsters," in which she costars with veteran American actress Vera Farmiga.
