Robert Pattinson was bullied through his scholastic career and the classroom abuse he suffered at the hands of fellow students left him marred for life.

The Twilight actor says an easy target for ridicule while attending school in London turned him into one rebellious student.

Robert was eventually expelled.

“Someone stole my shoelaces once from my shoes. I still wear them and never put laces in them – they”re like my trademark shoes now!” Robert told The Daily Express over the weekend.

“I got expelled from my school when I was 12 – I was quite bad. I never ever did my homework. I always turned up for lessons as I liked my teachers but my report said I didn’t try very hard.”
