Blog #2 Selena Gomez

This week I'm going to be talking about the 21-year-old "Come and Get it" singer/Actress. On March 26, at the Oakland's Oracle Arena, Selena opened up about the emotional issues that caused her to check into rehab earlier this year. She states that shes supposed to be around people that guide her, but many don't. She admits shes gets pressured a lot based on her looks and just by the things she says. Selena says they tell her what to wear,how to look,how she should be, and even what she should say! Selena pleaded to the crowd that they please stay true to themselves and always have each others back. Growing up, when Selena was about 11 years old a casting director told her that she wasn't strong enough to carry on her own show. It crushed her to hear this and she felt like she wasn't good enough, but her mom was next to her every step of the way giving her encouraging words, and two years later she had her own show.Gomez said she lost sight of her self and tired to change who she was because she thought others would accept her for it. Selena now hopes that her fans can learn from her mistakes.
