Teen idol Miley Cyrus has a message for Internet critics calling her fat - cyber-bullying can seriously scar people, leading them to hurt themselves.

Cyrus, 16, who plays schoolgirl rock star Hannah Montana in the hit Disney series and movie, posted an angry tirade on her Twitter web page following a flurry of criticism about her weight after she joked about her thighs jiggling.

Cyrus posted the joke after photo's emerged of her on a beach while on holiday.

However the joke turned out to be not so funny when comments started appearing on her website regarding her weight.

Cyrus hit back at critics saying: "Talk all you want. I have my flaws. I'm a normal girl. There are things about my body I would change, but stop with calling me fat."
