Today, Ed Sheeran is the winner of four Grammy awards, but once the singer faced bullism because of his appearance. During an interview with DJ Nihail and rapper Dave about the racism campaign, Love Music Hate Racism, said that music has caused the father to gain self-confidence and feel good about himself.

Sheeran stressed that years ago "he was crying out of school because his friends mocked his red hair, glasses, and the fact that his mouth was".

"I hated elementary school with all my soul. I cry every day. I was headaches, I had big glasses, my mouth was a bit odd. But later I started to like these things in myself. I have never been lucky with the girls because as I said I was weird. But when I started playing music, as I was watching, I found it interesting. "

Further adds:

"Suddenly begins and your appearance draws attention. I always tell the kids today that it is fantastic to be different. "

It is not the first time the singer tries to motivate others through his story. In October 2017, he thrilled the hall in the "Assess yourself" campaign as he spoke about childhood.

"I was a very, very strange child. I had a stain from birth and I had to remove it with lasers. One day, the doctors forgot to set me anesthesia and I started to take my mouth. There was nothing more difficult than trying to express and not be able to defeat. One day my father bought me an album of Marshall Mathers [Eminem]. I heard and learned all the words back. This helped me with the speech. Appreciate yourself, being otherwise is lucky. "
