good morning. >> thank you. bullying devastates so many people and as you'll see here, the victims include some familiar faces from hollywood who are speaking out about the pain. ♪ they are rich and famous. but these superstars have much more in common than fame and fortune. they have all been victims of bullying. >> i'm not surprised. >> many creative people are highly sensitive. and bullies tend to zero in on people who are sensitive. and feel it and show it. >> for tom cruise, the pain came at an early age. the actor told "parade" he had trouble reading and was smaller than his classmates who picked on him regularly. sandra bullock also felt this abuse. the oscar winner confided in 2009 she, too, was bullied at school. bullock said kids are mean. the sad thing is i can still remember the first and last names of every one of those kids who were mean to me. christina aguilera, chris rock

and many more celebrities have come forward to say they were victimized. recently reports surfaced saying emma watson dropped out of brown university because other students mocked her with lines from harry potter. the fact remains, bullying is an epidemic that few are immune to. >> we have seen the tragedies of bullying. bullying causes depression and anxiety. depression causes suicide sometimes. we have to take this more seriously and do something truly pro-active. >> the consequences can and have proved deadly. phoebe prince was driven to suicide after being bullied at school and this week, several of her tormentors reached plea deals connected to the shocking case, including one of the so-called mean girls. >> i'm sorry for my role in this tragedy and the prince family. >> reporter: as more stars come forward to share their stories and support those who are vulnerable, experts hope the new

attention will help battle bullying across the country. >> i think it's wonderful that celebrities are coming forward and talking about having been bullied. those are the role models for our kids. >> how bad is bullying in the u.s.? consider this, one report says 160,000 kids miss school because of fears they will be picked on by classmates. amy? >> all right, richard lui, thanks so much. here's lester. amy, thanks. this morning, our new series called "oh my aching." we start with our knees and for millions of americans, the pain is piling up. >> my son said you try it, mom. as soon as i started, i was like this the best thing ever. i've been climbing for about 12 years now. >> reporter: 57-year-old diane hitchcock is part of a growing number of boomers not ready to

slow down. >> baby boomers are really the first generation who psychologically have decided that we're not going to get older. >> reporter: but pushing the limits can lead to wear and tear on overused, overstressed knees. knees are one of the most commonly injured joints. according to the cdc, one in two adults are at risk of developing arthritis in their these. >> it was constant pain, sitting, moving, i could never find a comfortable position. >> reporter: for diane it was debilitating. diane developed progressive arthritis of her knee and turned to a less invasive and longer-lasting knee replacement surgery. >> not only have total joint replacements, gotten a lot better but we also have partial replacements that we're offering patients that can now allow them to get back to a faster type of recovery and remain even more active. >> reporter: with her new knee and successful recovery, diane

is ready to hit the road. >> i have more energy than did i. i can do the stuff i used to do. i can climb again. my husband and i are going in september. i have noç doubt i will reach e summit. >> how can you stay active without risk a serious injury? dr. michael parks is an orthopedic surgeon at the hospital for special surgery. good morning. great to have you on. >> thank you. nice to be here. >> something like 11 million americans over the age of 45 will go to their doctor complaining knee pain. is that on the rise? >> we've become a more active nation. so baby boomers, as she said, don't want to be inactive and demand more from our knees. that brings people in for knee pain. there are a lot of causes. we're also heavier nation. we're more active and that brings patients to the doctor. >> i know we have to listen to our bodies. when we talk about knee pain, it can be a sharp pain, stiffness. what should we be monitoring ourselves for and when is it really serious?

>> if it's something from a weekend run or cleaning the yard and there's chronic pain that -- of short-term duration, that's probably something we can treat on our own symptomatically. if it's chronic pain that's interfering or enduring pain, that's pain we should probably go and get checked out. >> what if it's happening under the kneecap itself? >> that's very common. typically as patients are active or the weekend warrior, they can have the knee pain that is caused under the kneecap. usually that's self-limiting. >> you talk about exercises being one of the causes. i see people running the streets of new york on pavement and that sort of thing. they're out getting healthy but does that in particular really put a lot of wear on the knee? >> it does. in terms of exercise, particularly for boomers, running or high-impact activities such as basketball or football, you put several times your body weight across your knee. you should think about cross-training or hodfying your activities, activities such as

bicycling or swimming or things that are not going to have that impact on the knee. also the elliptical machine are good exercises for boomers. >> i know a lot of people are getting knee replacement operations. some of them seem rather young. is it becoming a more common procedure? and is that still a drastic step? >> knee replacement has evolved. it was initially a procedure for older people who were spiraling down and becoming overcome with pain and inactivity. nowadays we want the same results we have in younger patients. they're asking and demanding the same results. the variety of opportunities to interact. knee replacement is more common place now. >> there has to be something between physical therapy and knee replacement. are there medications, injections, something you can do to relieve the pain? >> at hospital for special surgery we see the total gamut of knee pain. we have treatment that range from symptomatic treatments like

medication, physical therapy, there are surgical options as well. there's orthrocopy and the patient that is more progressively limited and at the end of their rope, those are patients we do total knee replacement in. we have minimally invasive techniques for that as well. >> it's a bummer getting older. >> it is. >> up next, kentucky derby fever. jenna is down in louisville where a female jockey will make history. she'll tell us about it after these messages.

why do i throw that at you right now. why is it such a wide open field. >> in the last five, six years, everything's changed. no conventional wisdom getting a horse here. at one time, you had an idea of how to train up to the race. that changed when barbaro won the race in '06. i don't think a handicapper has a good feel for how these hours after five, six weeks off and a couple of races are doing and we could have the highest favorite ever going off of race time. >> one of the big names is uncle mo. he's scratched. why? oh. >> he's got an intestinal problem. he lost in the wood memorial and never got better. the decision was made that uncle mo wouldn't be here. if he stayed healthy, he looked by far the best of the 3-year-old crop of horses. since he's gone, it's opened up more. >> it is open. but any more names with uncle mo

out? >> dialed in is the favorite. he's a favorite 4 1/2 to one. he's a big closer, you know, the big charge down the stretch in the derby. arch, arch-around who won down the derby is one to look at. mucho macho man has a chance. >> he's got a good story. >> his connection has the inspirational story of all of them. kathy rigbo, his trainer. three years ago, she's watching from a hospital bed in florida desperately needing a heart transplant. she's healthy, she's here with the horse. three years after near death, she's running with a good horse in the derby. >> nice to get some of the heartwarming stories because the field is so open. we're not specifically looking at one or two horses. >> most people who watch the derby will watch one horse race, maybe two races all year. it's an iconic event. people will watch the derby that are not horse racing fans and they get hooked on these

stories. i love to tell them that's what got me hooked years ago. the story of the jockeys, the trainers, the horses that got in position. >> you know this area well. it's nice. we're talking about rain. we're not really sure. what do you think? >> it's a lot nicer than it was last year. i remember being on the today show last year. there were sheets of rain coming down. you couldn't see anyone coming down around you. supposed to be nice. this track dried out the best. it will take a lot of rain to make it a sloppy track by racetime. it would take a lot of rain. it looks good right now, clear skies. >> your words to everybody else here. kenny rice, thank you so much for joining us. thank you for your insight. >> that's it from here. back to you guys, amy? thank you so much. you can watch 137th running of the kentucky derby today starting at 4:00 p.m. here on nbc. we're back. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

lester, thank you. as officials searched for rita chretien's husband in nevada, authorities in kentucky continue to investigate the abduction of holly bobo who was kidnapped from her home on april 13. we have the late ems. taken from outside of her home and into the woods, holly bobo is still missing more than three weeks later.

the community near the home in tennessee continues to hold vigils, hoping that some way, some how, the 20-year-old nursing student is still alive. >> i love you so much. >> holly's devastated parents made an emotional plea one day after she was kidnapped by a man wearing camouflage. but they stayed out of sight every since. they released a statement this week saying in part, we know everyone's daily life, routines, and work must go on, but ours never will until holly is back with us. the massive search which once included hundreds of volunteers down to a handful of agents from the tennessee bureau of investigation. an $80,000 reward is being offered for information that can lead to an arrest. authorities have pursued more than 800 leads in this case. but most have been closed out. despite having found several of holly's belongings and blood near the scene of the abduction, the investigators have no

suspect at this time. >> he's a resident of this community and this is a very tight-knitted community where people know each other. >> any abduction case, time is an enemy. in the ongoing search for holly, many are praying time will be on her side. for today, nbc news. and joining us this morning with more insight is criminologist casey jordan. good morning. >> good morning, amy. >> heard one of the investigators there say they believe this person is a member of the community, perhaps a resident. at least familiar with the area. does that make sense? >> sure. ist's such a remote area and their home is at the end of the road in the middle of the woods. no one would just happen upon there and see this 20-year-old girl getting into her car and kidnap her. the idea is, of course, this person came out of the woods because reports are, from her brother, that the abductor was wearing camouflage. >> let's talk about the brother's statements. initial he we were told he said he saw someone in camouflage

dragging his sister into the woods. now the words have been softened and they're saying he just said he saw her being forced into the woods. why is that significant? >> the police came and checked it out and he said drag -- they looked for drag marks. then the story got changed to "led away." he called 911 after there was a small amount of blood found at the carport. >> not when he saw her being forced or dragged. >> the fact we've never seen her brother, clint, 25 years old, talk to the media and tell the media and the public what he saw himself is a little bit strange. we trust that the police are reporting it correctly. but it's a little bit unusual that his story shifted as the police continued their investigation. >> now, if the abductor is local as police believe, how do you flush someone out of this small community. it's a community where apparently everyone knows one another. >> they have said from the begin egg, the tennessee bureau of

investigation said you want to look for somebody who sold their car, cleaned their car, missed work that day. acting strangely, drinking a lot. all of that fits. we know about abductors and we would find in criminal research. after a few days, we didn't hear anything more. we heard her lunchbox was found in the woods eight miles away. then there's all of this conflicting information about other evidence they thought they found and took it back. and really in the last three weeks we haven't heard anything. 2,000 people searching in the woods. now everything is being scaled back. >> in speaking to that, police are being tight lip in this case. a lot of times we do get information coming out. so we have an idea of where the case is. we haven't heard anything that unusual. is that a smart strategy by police? is it a strategy? >> it's unusual. because the way you keep the public interested in looking and surgerying is to let them know what's going on with the investigation. and the whole phrasing of the family's latest statement of thanking people and as time goes home, we lose hope. absolutely no one has been

cleared. not the brother, the family, are no suspects that nobody is out of the suspect pool yet. this is unusual. we need to find holly bobo. we need to keep searching. >> is there anything based on what you've seen or heard that would lead you to believe that she's being held captive? that she could be alive? >> nothing i heard or seen. but never give up hope. you think of elizabeth smart, shasta groene, dugard. you hear of them being found weeks or years -- hope she would never be abandoned. >> back after these messages.

a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. and celebrex is not a narcotic. when it comes to relieving your arthritis pain, you and your doctor need to balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen, and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, including celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers,

which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. do not take celebrex if you've had an asthma attack, hives, or other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. we all know that every day is mother's day. i got points for that. and tomorrow it's official.
