Long before the world called him the King, Elvis Presley was a shy, poor kid who got bullied almost every day. In Tupelo and later in Memphis, classmates mocked him for his patched clothes and called him “trashy,” never knowing how hard his family fought just to get by. When Elvis brought his guitar to school and played the music he loved — country, gospel, and blues — kids laughed at him for singing “hillbilly songs.” Some even teased him for being close to his mother, calling him a mama’s boy. As he grew older, Elvis started dressing differently — bold jackets, bright colors, long sideburns — and instead of admiring him, classmates tried to corner him and cut his hair off. The only thing that stopped them was a football player named Red West, who stepped in and later became one of Elvis’s closest friends. All those things that made him stand out as a teenager were the same things that made him a legend. The boy they bullied became the man the world would love.
