Selena Gomez says she was not Popular at the School
Selena Gomez was less than popular, as she has revealed in a new
interview to dailymail. The 19-year-old star said she never had very many
friends during her student days.
She said: 'I was never the popular kid at school. I had two
friends, but I just sat at the back of the room and got on with my
work. 'School is such an awkward time in your life. I was never confident
in school.' And Selena credits the fact that her cousin was the captain of
the cheerleading team at school as the reason that she wasn't bullied. She
added: 'Nobody picked on me because my cousin was one of the popular
gang.
Since leaving school Selena has made a huge success for herself
both as a singer and actress on Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena also said
that while she might be dating one of the world's biggest heartthrobs now, she
was never particularly lucky in love at school.
She said: 'I never went out with guys at school. I had a crush on
a guy, but I never told him about it. I did the thing that a lot of girls do: I
avoided him! 'You need that self confidence if you want to chat to the guy
you like. If you’re confident with yourself, and you’re okay with that, then
you should go for it.'
Former Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena also took the
opportunity in the interview to talk about how she deals with negative
criticism. She said: 'There’s a lot of rejection in this industry and it’s
tough. There are also a lot of obstacles that you have to go through and it can
be really exhausting. But if you love it, then that’s all that
matters. 'You’ve got to go for it. I still have people trying to bring me
down, but I’m happy because I love what I do. Ignore the cruel jibes and stick
with the nice people.'
Selena added: 'I’m lucky because I have a lot of support from my
family and friends. I have so many amazing things in my life. 'I have a
healthy, loving family and I have amazing fans. That’s all that matters to me.
I try my best to not dwell on the bad stuff. Focus on the positive.'
