When Jacques St Pierre wanted to hold an anti-bullying assembly at his Toronto-area school, Etobicoke’s School of the Arts, he sent out letters to several celebrities asking for their support. Lady Gaga got his letter and, without question, made him and his school a personalized video.
As for his motivation to hold the assembly, Jacques told CBC about his elementary school days: “I got called the gay kid, the fag, because I liked to be in the school plays. I lost my best friend because he joined in with the bullies. It’s not fun, I’ve been there, I’ve been bullied. Before that, I didn’t know bullying could affect people so severely.”
