Kristen Stewart left school aged 14 as she "couldn't relate" to those her own age.

The Twilight actress had already embarked on a fledgling movie career by the time she was a teenager, and was relieved her parents allowed a switch to home schooling after she started to get a hard time from other children.

"I was glad to leave school. I couldn't relate to kids my own age. They are mean and don't give you any chance'" says Stewart.

"When I was there, I was never the type of girl to be walking around talking about acting, so I didn't get a whole lot of hassle, until someone found out, until someone saw some old movie and realised. I was trying to play it down.

"But I definitely got, 'Oh, she's such a b***h.' They'd never spoken to me, but instantly they were, like, 'You are so rude.' I am not rude."

The 19-year-old star - who plays the lead role of Bella Swan, who falls in love with a vampire in Twilight - also said she has always felt older in her mind that she has been physically.

She added "I felt I should have been an adult at the age of five. And I thought I was an adult when I was 12.

"I wasn't like a warrior, but I have never been that kid who doesn't care a fig about anything. It's just the way I've been brought up."

The revelation comes after Stewart revealed her fans are too scared to speak to her because she is so "unapproachable".

The Twilight star claims she is never bothered by paparazzi or admirers because she always wears black and "looks angry".

The Twilight Saga: New Moon - the second film in the series - also starring Robert Pattinson, will be released in November this year.

    I am a Twilight Addict for sure! I am Team Jakeward all the way, lol. I reckon Eclipse should be the best version of all for movies... but the books kick butt much more! But if you've read the books, I don't think it matters at all whether this one will live up to expectations, cause the stories have already captured our hearts!

    Well what can I say, I am a total Twilight addict! I love the two films so far- but love the books a whole lot more! They NEED to make Breaking Dawn into 2 films. There are just sooo many amazing parts to it that so many [important] things will end up getting missed out! It is kinda essential that it's made into two films! Please, make two films!

    I ahve to say that Jacob is who I would go with because of his looks but he hasn't got the personality that Edward has. If I were Bella and Jacob had the personality of Edward you would have the best guy in the world!!
