The rapper was far from a model student, having to repeat the ninth grade and eventually quitting when he was 17. He was also the victim of constant bullying from a classmate, with the beatings getting so bad that Em's mother sued the school district for allowing it to happen (the case was thrown out). Now that he's matured, Eminem does charity work to help underprivileged kids, speaks out against bullying and donates money to vocational programs for inmates.
