Girls, to me, growing up were very, very petty and didn't want me to succeed and didn't want the best for me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was a total bad girl growing up.
I didn't have a choice growing up but to be more insecure because others had more.
I was so determined not to pass on to my children what I perceived to be the faults of my upbringing.
I was always too mature for my age - and not very happy. I had no young friends. I wish I could go back to those days. If I could only live it all again, how I would play and enjoy other girls. What a fool I was.
I've lived my life in a way that I feel would be an example to young women and I've always given my best in everything I've tried.
I had a few dating disasters along the way with girls cheating on me. One girl was the inspiration for me singing 'Cry Me A River' on 'The X Factor.' That was my payback to her because she was unfaithful.
I wasn't like most girls.
Growing up, I wanted desperately to please, to be a good girl.
Growing up, I was not used to good things happening to me.
When I was growing up, the men in my life were abusive; women were the ones I ran to for comfort.
