Singer, Punk'd master and anti-bullying advocate Justin Bieber has lent his tune “Born to be Somebody” to be the background music for the new “Bully” trailer.

And as we’ve told y’all, teens NEED to see "Bully," a new documentary that painfully and powerfully shows the ugly face of school hallways, playgrounds and buses in America.
