Chester Bennington was sexually abused and molested at the age of 7 (seven) years old by an older male “friend.” He was afraid to ask for help because he did not want people to think he was g-a-y or lying, and the abuse continued until the age of 13. He was also physically bullied in high school. In an interview, he said, “I was knocked around like a rag doll at school, for being skinny and looking different. Bennington’s parents divorced when he was 11 years old, and his father gained custody of him. After the divorce, Bennington started abusing marijuana, alcohol, opium, cocaine, methamphetamine, and LSD.
