You’ve made social media into a career. What’s that like?
It’s amazing, but it’s also a lot of work. I don’t just make videos—I have meetings, do interviews, and go on tour for weeks. Plus, I write songs, act, and more!
What’s the hardest part of fame?
Sometimes I feel like I’m just going through the motions, like a robot. So I make sure to take some time off, put my phone down, and just be alone. I write down my goals, write songs, go for a walk—anything to get away from my job for a little while.
Have you ever been bullied?
When I first started posting videos, I got a lot of hate. There were days when I would cry and want to give up on all of it. I still get mean comments, and it hurts. I’m a human being.
Some people think young stars get a lot of freedom. Is that true?
My mom still yells at me when I don’t do the dishes, so no. Everything that all teenagers go through, I go through!
Do you have a lot of friends?
I have my few best friends and that’s it. People have attempted to be my friend for the fame or the followers—so it’s hard to trust people. It makes me sad to say that, but it’s true.
Do you ever wish you’d never become famous?
No! My biggest goal is to make people happy, and now I have the opportunity to do that.
