LOS ANGELES — This doesn’t seem like something Lauren Betts would say, she’s much too nice.
But I will: Cry, haters. You dummies.
Lately, Betts – the UCLA women’s basketball team’s 6-foot-7 All-American junior center – has been sharing her story with the world. She told reporters from ESPN and Sports Illustrated what it was like to grow up as an exceptionally tall girl, 6 feet tall in middle school and 6-5 by the time she reached high school.
How she was teased and made fun of and bullied.
