Lady Gaga advocates honoring your unique identity and fighting for who you are. She believes expressing your authentic self is vital, as there is only one of you and blocking your self-expression will cause it to be lost. As a feminist, Lady Gaga feels women need strong role models who say "I'm great" and make women feel there is nobody like them. She sees herself as unique and not comparable to anyone else. Like many, she experienced bullying in school which caused embarrassment and made it difficult to focus on her studies.
