She grew up to have an enviable career, but "Pitch Perfect" actress Brittany Snow says she was bullied during her growing up days in school.
 
 The 28-year-old has said most of the abuse happened online over instant messaging while she was in high school, reports people.com.
 
 “AOL Instant Messenger was a big thing back in the day…where girls would get on it and make fun of me," Snow said.
 
 Years later, she decided to help other young girls when she saw teenagers committing suicide over bullying in school.
 
 In October 2010, Snow started an organisation Love is Louder, with The Jed Foundation, to encourage the use of social media to promote love and support for anyone who is in need of it.
 
 “When the suicides were starting to happen and kids were being bullied in schools, I felt really compelled to do something because I was bullied in school, and I didn't really fit into a category that a lot of programs that were being started had.
 
 “Now we have a really great opportunity with social media to use that communication for good, where people can go online and actually feel like they're part of a community," she added.
