The actress, who is a vocal anti-bullying campaigner and Unicef Goodwill Ambassador, was forced off Twitter by cyberbullies.
Millie Bobby Brown, the British star of hit show Stranger Things has said she was forced to change schools by "soul-breaking bullies" in England.
Brown, 15, who was forced off Twitter by cyberbullies, has been a vocal anti-bullying campaigner and became Unicef's youngest Goodwill Ambassador last year.
She said: "I was bullied at school back in England. I actually switched schools because of it, it created a lot of anxiety and issues that I still deal with today.
"I have dealt with situations both in real life and online that are soul-breaking and it genuinely hurts reading some of the things people have said."
The actress, who makes her film debut in the upcoming Godzilla: King Of The Monsters, said: "Young people's lives are increasingly under pressure. First of all, I want to make sure that children are protected from violence and exploitation.
"I also want to combat the negativity on social media - I have experienced it - it's like a disease. It's negative hate that is genuinely so horrifying to me. Climate change is so important too."
Brown will be back in season three of Stranger Things when the multi award-winning drama returns to Netflix in July, calling the show "one of the most important things in my life.
