Hayden Panettiere Wants to Stay Healthy

Hayden PanettiereHayden Panettiere feels insecure about her appearance.

The Heroes actress, 19, has never gone overboard worrying about her body and insists she just tries to stay healthy.

“I’ve never been one of those people who has been obsessed with working out or being super skinny, because I’m just not, I’m not that,” Hayden explains. “I have the body that I have and that’s not going to change as long as I try to stay as healthy as I can, and all that stuff.

“It’s a little hard when someone is standing behind you with a camera on the beach, takes a picture of your rear end, and points out all your bumps or whatever. You become much more critical of yourself, because you’re in the position of just such extreme judgment and scrutiny. People love to point out flaws and love to build people up and let them down again.”

Hayden recently revealed that she was bullied at school.

“I was never the popular girl. I actually thought the worst was middle school, it was all about where you sat in the lunchroom,” she said. “And it was one of the most traumatizing experiences for me. I was absolutely tortured.

“I remember going to sit with the popular kids for the first time because one girl invited me over and one of the guys pulled the chair out from underneath me before I sat down and everyone started laughing. So, I was never the popular girl. Never, never, never.”
