“There were so many people that were just so mean. Random people saying like, ‘You suck! You look like a girl!’” Bieber said of his early years of fame. “I would shake it off like it didn’t bother me but that stuff bothered me and it affected how I acted and how I treated people.”
The “Intentions” singer continued: “There was times where I was really, really suicidal.”
Bieber recalled thinking “is this pain ever going to go away?” He added, “It was so consistent, the pain was so consistent.”
