Lauren Parsekian Paul turned a horrific pre-teen experience into a lifelong mission. After she was viciously bullied in middle school and even contemplated suicide, the activist went on to help launch the Kind Campaign, a non-profit movement created to end girl-on-girl abuse. "I was put through the ringer," Paul, the wife of Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul, tells People of her turbulent middle school years. "These girls did whatever they could do to make me feel alone and ugly and worthless. It crushed me. As a result of what I went through, I ended up dealing with severe depression and an eating disorder.
