Being young, rich, famous and talented isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be. Just ask Justin Bieber.
During an exclusive interview with USA Today, the Canadian pop star opened up about the trials and tribulations that come with teenage stardom.
“Just use your head, you’ll understand that my life is not easy. Not having privacy. Growing up in front of the cameras since I was 13, 14,” explains Bieber.
However, after numerous run-ins with the law last year, the 21-year-old says he’s finally turning a corner and embarking on an odyssey of self-discovery.
“Yeah, I’m growing, figuring some stuff out. As you do when you grow up,” said Bieber. “You figure out what type of man you want to be, that’s where I’m at.”
