"Me and my girlfriends, we were pretty girls - we were cheerleaders," Snooki recalled of her experience.
"The older girls didn't like us and I feel like they thought we were competition so they would make up nasty rumours about us and even me and you know, they would make me feel like a very low person."
However, Snooki insisted that those who are facing bullying now should not give up as things will get better, adding: "I feel like if you are bullied, just remember and just know that you are a good person. And that's all that matters.
"People have opinions, yes, and that's okay... Some people are ignorant so you have to deal with that."
