Manchester City and England star Jack Grealish has marked Anti-Bullying Week by opening up about abuse to an ‘unbelievable’ young fan in a documentary for CBBC.<\/p>\n
Grealish and fellow celebrity\u00a0Chelcee Grimes\u00a0are key features of the anti-bullying film, which is part of CBBC’s documentary series My Life.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old England international met up with Alfie Robinson, 12, to share his experiences of bullying, particularly on social media.<\/p>\n
After being picked on by a group of boys in his year, Alfie started his own anti-bullying campaign in an effort to help other young people who are struggling.<\/p>\n
Grealish heaped praise on Alfie after learning of his endeavours, revealing that he too suffers from abuse if he plays poorly for Manchester City or England.<\/p>\n
‘If I don’t have a good game, I get a lot of stick on social media,’ Grealish explained. ‘It’s difficult, I’m not going to lie. I try not to read it as much as I can.’<\/p>\n

‘Obviously, it’s a different situation to what happened with you, yours was at school and wasn’t really online.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘But the way you’ve handled everything, putting posters up around the school, I think that’s unbelievable.<\/p>\n
‘One of the most impressive things is that you’ve done this to help other people. It’s brilliant and so inspiring so make sure you keep this going.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I think it’s special you’re trying to help other people and I’m glad it’s stopped for you.’<\/p>\n
