Lorde was once hit in the stomach with a rotting pear.
The 'Royals' singer insists she was "never bullied" during her time at school, but recalled one incident where she was struck "hard" with the overly-ripe fruit, which exploded on impact.
She said: "It hit me so hard in the stomach that it exploded everywhere.Look, you don't have to do anything in high school to get a rotten pear thrown at you. It's just what happens, and if you're annoyed about it, you are silly."
Though the 17-year-old singer thinks she is "weird", her quirks have never held her back socially.
She told the new issue of Billboard magazine: "As weird as I am with communicating, I actually did have a lot of friends in high school."
And among the things Lorde used to do with her friends was break into other people's boats and attempt to contact spirits with Ouija boards.
She recalled: "I live in a beach town, and there are these boats that sit on land, and we would break into them.
"We'd sit in them all night, doing Ouija boards and telling secrets. I remember that feeling so vividly, like, 'We are here. It's us against everything else.' "

Lindsay Lohan is being sued for over $60 million.
A website developer has filed a case against the 'Mean Girls' actress and her brother Michael in which he accused them of stealing one of his ideas.
According to Fima Potik, the pair agreed to work with him on Spotted Friend - which would give users a glimpse into celebrities' closets - but then took the idea to another investor and launched an app called Vigme, which he describes as a "carbon copy" of his website.
According to TMZ, the developer claims he received a text message from Michael saying he wanted a bigger cut of the company or else.
Potik is seeking over $60 million in damages and wants Vigme to be shut down.
Meanwhile, Lindsay's friends The Wanted have pledged to keep an eye on the troubled star while she gets her career back on track starring in London stage show 'Speed-the-Plow'.
Tom Parker told The Sun newspaper: "I chatted to her a couple of days ago because I saw a photo of her in a newspaper staggering out of a nightclub.
"I wanted to check she was OK, so I asked her what she was doing.
"She told me she had simply fallen over and I was like, 'Really?'
"She's had a rough time but she's a sweet girl and a great actress.
"None of us want to see her go back to that dark place."
Earlier this week, the 28-year-old actress - who previously dated The Wanted's Max George - missed a matinee performance of the show after falling ill, but despite warning fans she was "down for the count" and would also miss the evening show, she made it on stage for the second performance of the day.

Russell Brand plans to give away his future earnings.
The 39-year-old star insists he "doesn't need" to make money for himself anymore so wants to use his fortune to help those in need.
He told Vanity Fair magazine: "I have decided that I don't need to make any money anymore.
"The money that I get, I'm going to use for the establishment of community centres, which will sell good food and provide a place for people to hang out: initially, a service for people recovering from drug addiction, but also an incubator for social enterprises, where people will work, on a not-for-profit basis, in a wide variety of trades."
Russell is releasing a new book, 'Revolution', in which he implores for a social and political revolution and he admits he is worried about how some people - particularly readers in the US - will react to his ideas.
He said: "I recently did the audiobook, and when I read the stuff on America, I thought, 'Oh my God, I'm gonna get f**kin' shot! 'Cause it's very easy to be reductive. And it doesn't matter how many times I say, 'I'm not talking about the American people.'
"I've lived in America. I've driven across America in a recreation of Kerouac's journey and know the American people. I don't hate America."
However, the 'Arthur' star - who was famously sacked from his BBC Radio 2 show for leaving a series of lewd answerphone messages for actor Andrew Sachs - insists he would rather be slammed for his political ideals than some of his previous misunderstood pranks.
He added: "It's better than just people having a go at me for leaving a silly answer-phone message. Or saying that George W. Bush is like a 'retarded cowboy fella.'
"I mean, the opprobrium rains down. At least now it's about something I really believe in, and something that is true. The information's there for anyone who wants it. America is an incredible country. Amazing experiment of a nation."

Daniel Radcliffe has revealed Sirius Black is his favourite character from the 'Harry Potter' franchise.
The 25-year-old actor explained that although he'd always been a fan of the character, he became especially enamored with Sirius due to Gary Oldman's portrayal of him.
Speaking during his Reddit AMA, the English star was asked to name his favourite Potter character, to which he replied: "Probably Sirius. Like I always loved the character, and then Gary [Oldman]'s portrayal of him I thought was perfect. Or Lupin, really.
"Any of the characters my dad used to hang out with, other than Wormtail. There was always something about those two guys I loved a lot."
Radcliffe also thanked his parents for helping to keep him grounded since finding fame.
He reflected: "I would attribute it to my parents and also to the crew of the Potter films, who were very good at treating us like kids rather than as actors, as they should have done. But yeah, it's hard to say what it comes down to."
The actor said the issue came into even sharper focus as co-star Emma Watson approached her 18th birthday.
He continued: "I think when you see that perspective that we all saw at very young ages, you do get an extra level of awareness maybe."

Aston Merrygold bought a collection of Burberry baby clothes for J.B. Gill's newborn child.
The 26-year-old star splashed out on the high-end fashion attire for his former bandmate and wife Chloe's one-month-old son Ace, and the clothes were all miniature versions of the garments J.B. is often see wearing.
Chloe said: "He turned up at the hospital the first time with a massive bag containing a hamper of Burberry baby clothes - [miniatures] of the things J wears, such as classic little waistcoats and cool shirts."
J.B. added: "He'd got the shop assistants to pad them out, so it looked like a baby was wearing them."
But J.B. insists his son will not be wearing his new top notch fashion items when he takes the little one onto his farm in Kent, south east England, to see the pigs.
The singer-turned-farmer added to HELLO! magazine: "He said to us, 'Now he's all set for the farm.' We were like, 'Ast, mate, he's not out wearing Burberry when he's hanging out with the pigs.'
"Aston loves babies and he's so good with them."

Pierce Brosnan funded his big break in acting by taking out a second mortgage on his central heating.
The 61-year-old star has revealed his late wife Cassandra Harris - who died from ovarian cancer aged 43 in 1991 - encouraged him to move to Los Angeles with her so that he could try to make it big in the movie industry, and the change paid off.
He said: "It was my late wife, God bless her, who said we should go to America, and somehow we took out a second mortgage on the central heating, and we went to Los Angeles on a wing and a prayer."
The former James Bond actor - who has appeared in 'Mrs. Doubtfire', 'Mars Attacks!' and 'Mamma Mia!' - landed his breakthrough role in US TV series 'Remington Steele' in 1982 and admits he based his acting style on Cary Grant by carefully studying the late Hollywood legend's movies.
He added to Loaded magazine: "The first audition I went on was for 'Remington Steele', and I got the job. And I had no idea what to do.
"Bob Butler was the director, and he said, 'It's an old movie.' So I looked at Cary Grant movies and tried to be Cary Grant."

Lionel Richie "worried to death" about his sculpted likeness in the 'Hello' video.
The 65-year-old singer famously portrayed an art teacher in love with a blind student in the 1984 promotional film and he was concerned that the sculpture - which has been the subject of much ridicule - looked so little like him but director Bob Giraldi insisted that was the intention.
Lionel said: "When I saw the bust, I said, 'Bob, it doesn't look like me.' He said, 'We'll talk about it later.'
"We filmed one segment. I went back and said, 'You really have to take a look at this.' We filmed the second segment, and here comes the third, where I had to shoot with the bust. Again, I said, 'Bob, it doesn't look like me.' Bob turned to me and said, 'Lionel, she's blind. End of subject.'
"In other words, if she got a perfect look, what kind of exceptional person is this? It's got to look a little skewed and off.
"But it worried me to death to stand next to this bust. I'm going, 'Oh, my God, I hope the world doesn't see me looking like this.' "
Lionel also revealed the original plan for the video didn't feature a blind woman.
He told Billboard magazine: "It was going to be a story about someone seeing someone else across the room and falling in love. Then Bob Giraldi came along and took the seeing part out."

The 26-year-old rapper is keen to take his girlfriend back to his hometown of Detroit, Michigan.
A source told HollywoodLife.com: "He wants to take her to Detroit to meet all his friends and family there. He's proud of her."
The 'Break Free' hitmaker confirmed the romance earlier this month, calling her new boyfriend "amazing".
She said: "He is one of the most amazing men in the world, and that includes my grandfather and my brother.
"I think the world of him, and he's an amazing person. That's kind of all there is to it."
Meanwhile, the 'Beware' hitmaker has spoken out, too, to praise his 21-year-old girlfriend.
He said recently: "Ariana's very very special, and she's very special to me.
"Everything she has going on is good with her, everything I have going on is good with me, everything between me and her is good, and I'm just going to leave it at that."
Earlier this month, the couple were seen kissing on a rollercoaster.
They had taken a trip to Universal Studios in Hollywood and shared a kiss on the 'Revenge Of The Mummy' ride before being spotted holding hands as they walked round the park.

Taylor Swift would love to write poetry.
The 24-year-old - who has penned hit tracks like 'Red' and 'I Knew You Were Trouble' - has admitted that she'd like to try writing for other mediums.
She told Associated Press: "I've discovered music and that's the form of writing that inspires me the most. It's not to say that I wouldn't expand the mediums and the ways that I choose to write.
"What if I end up writing a script or a book, or a book of poetry or something? That would be so amazing. I would love to see that happen."
The 'Shake It Off' hitmaker also revealed that she had written a 400 page book when she was younger, documenting her own life and friends.
Meanwhile, Taylor recently revealed that singers like herself and celebrity pal Ed Sheeran wouldn't want to be on stage if they didn't get to write their own tracks.
She previously said: "The thing with both Ed and me is that neither of us would be on stage if we didn't write our own songs. There would be no reason to be.
"The addiction we have is that connection. We have spent so much of our lives alone and feeling misunderstood."
She added: "You write a song about an emotion that confuses you, or about something you're scared of or excited about, and you release it, and all of a sudden you're making a connection with millions of people.
"Then the final phase is that you look out into a crowd of thousands of people and they know every word. That's an overwhelming feeling of camaraderie - which we've never felt before in our lives."

Jennifer Garner loves Ben Affleck's Batman voice.
The 42-year-old actor plays the superhero in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' and his wife of nine years admits she thinks the voice he uses is "sexy".
She told Empire magazine: "We were not privy to the Batman voice at home, but I've been on set enough to hear bits of it.
"It's spot on. Growly and decisive and sexy, if I do say so myself! Exactly what you would hope it to be!"
Meanwhile, the '13 Going On 30' star has previously admitted she appreciated how hard Ben had worked to get in shape for his role in the upcoming blockbuster.
She recently said: "He was in crazy shape for 'The Town'. I've seen him kind of in every different variation, so I'll take him however I can get him! But as long as this is the guy I'm married to, I'm kind of like, 'Wow! That's crazy!' He looks insane. He's worked really hard."
But Jennifer insists that she has no preference when it comes to her husband's body.
She added: "If he happened to go back to being a normal human, I'd be fine with that, too."

Reese Witherspoon hates being "likeable".
The 'Water For Elephants' star dislikes when people brand her in that way because it affects which acting roles she is given.
She told the New York Times newspaper: "I've sat through millions of development meetings where people are like: 'We don't want Reese to say profanities. We don't want her to have sex. We don't want her to take drugs.'
"I didn't really feel the constraints of it until about three years ago, where I realised, 'I'm not this.' I'm a complex person that has so many different aspects in my personality. But somehow, I have this reductive experience where I'm put into this tiny little box."
When asked what the box would be, she added: "Likeable. Can we scrub the likeable box?"
Meanwhile, the 38-year-old actress believes that her character in new film 'Wild' is the most likeable of all the roles she's played.
She said: "To me, likeable is human, and real, and honest. To me, I find the character in 'Wild' much more likeable than a lot of characters I've played in comedy. She's telling the truth."
However, Reese did previously admit that she found her role in the biographical drama particularly demanding.
She recently explained: "It's the hardest I've ever done for many different reasons. The physicality was really difficult, but after that was the emotional part of it.
"The sex scenes were the hardest thing for me to do. I've never had to do anything like that in my entire life. I had to do all the parts of the movie, the parts that made me feel uncomfortable too, because it is about emotional honesty."

Taylor Swift has revealed her "creepiest" nickname.
The 'Shake It Off' hitmaker has been dubbed "Dead Tooth" by Bleachers' frontman, Jack Antonoff, after she chipped her tooth on a microphone.
Jack told MTV: "I just thought it was so funny - someone who really looked like they had their c**p together - to be called 'dead tooth'."
He added to Taylor: "Doesn't it feel like the last thing that someone should call you? You just don't look like a broken individual."
She quipped back: "You call me 'dead tooth' more than you call me 'Taylor'."
The pair have been working together on the 24-year-old's most recent album, '1989'.
Speaking recently of their collaboration, Jack admitted he enjoyed intimate recording sessions with the 'Love Story' singer at his apartment in Brooklyn, New York.
He said: "We like to make music in spaces where people hear music. The idea of making music on studio speakers that project frequencies that no headphones can even reproduce is hilarious.
"We were in studios together, but my favourite experiences with her were in my apartment in Brooklyn, just hanging out with a laptop and a guitar."
The pair - who first met at an awards show a few years ago - worked together on three tracks from the album, 'I Wish You Would', 'Out of the Woods' and 'You Are In Love'.
