Lady Gaga’s mother has said the singer experienced unkindness and bullying from her peers growing up which later led the pair to set up a foundation which works with young people to create a kinder and braver world.

The pop superstar, 35, has been open about how her mental health challenges, such as depression and anxiety, were largely due to cruel treatment while growing up.
