Jasmin Roy Foundation, a charitable organization based in Quebec, Dion has recently hired a PSA against bullying. In the video for the French language, the 45 - year- old singer explains how she suffered in her youth.

“Because I was bullied at school, I can understand the anxiety that young people go through," Dion said in his native language.

In 2013, Dion admitted that as a child growing up in Canada, it was not as smart as it is now.

"I really was not very good at school. I was not the cool guy, I was not beautiful, I felt weird, “she said.”It was hard; my teeth were crooked and were a bit poor for clothing was sent to my brothers my sisters to me. "

Apart from its own problems in school, Dion also comes to bullying from the perspective of a father: She has three children, 13, Rene -Charles and 3 years, the twins Nelson and Eddy.

"As a mother, I can understand the desperation of parents who cannot see the light in the eyes of your child or the joy in the hearts of their children, because they have school friends ," Dion said in the video.

Jasmin Roy Foundation , named for the local actor who produced the anti -bullying documentary " intimidated " , was created to combat bullying of pupils in primary and secondary schools. PSA Dion was charged on March 13 and has already accumulated more than 33,000 visits.
