She may be one of the mean girls of St. Martin's University in More Than Words na nagpapahirap sa buhay ni Ikay (Janine Gutierrez), pero nakaranas din daw ng bullying ang young actress na si Coleen Perez.
"At first, they didn't really bully me, 'yung parang ginagawa ni Belle [kay Ikay]. Pero I know that I felt that stare, [as if they're saying] 'So uh, why are you here?'" kuwento ni Coleen, na bukod sa pagiging artista ay isa ring fitness coach.
Even if she had friends back then, she admits that she became depressed.
"I got slightly depressed about those stuff, pero parang I also learned to get over it and just move on."
Ibinahagi rin ni Coleen kung paano niya nalagpasan ang stage na ito ng buhay niya.
"Let it go na lang, kasi years after naman, mare-realize mo na they didn't really know what they were doing kasi bata pa eh. 'Yun pa lang ang mundo nila, but when everyone sets their foot on the real world, back to zero lahat at parang 'Uy kinakausap na niya ako.'"
