To this day Dormer is unsure of why she was actually bullied in her younger years. She suffered unaware until she became "head girl, a straight-A student... all of those things. Very boring, very repressed... repressed, not boring boring's wrong. I'm definitely a late bloomer... one of those who truly finds their niche in their thirties no bad thing." Luckily for Natalie, she was able to ignore the taunting remarks and was able to turn that anger and frustration into something much more positive, which has gotten her where she is today.
