The Vamps star to victims of bullying: 'You don't have to suffer alone'

The Vamps star James McVey has offered hope to those suffering from bullying.

It is #StandUpToBullying Day today (July 5) and the musician told Sky News that victims shouldn't feel alone.

The Brit said: "Bullying is something that affects a lot of people - it's not isolated to small situations.

"I would honestly, from personal experience, advise anyone who is feeling isolated from being bullied to stand up today.

"You don't have to suffer alone. There are people out there who can help you."

Speaking previously about being a victim of bulling, McVey said:

"I was bullied and didn't fit in to any groups at school. It sucks at the time but I am happy now :) just focus on being yourself and getting the best grades... I don't even see anyone from my school anymore.

"It's always best to tell someone. And also remember that these people won't be in your life forever [...] You've got to realise that after school these people will mean NOTHING to you and you've got to stay strong."
