I'd cry to my mum and be like, 'we have to leave because I don't want to be here. Joking aside, how did she overcome a situation like that? "At the time I thought my world was ending. Every time I cry, I get a little bit stronger," she laughs, acknowledging her recent single. The boy was like, 'I don't want to be with you! I was kidding!' It made me stronger though. He tried to kiss me and the next thing, there's a bunch of cheerleaders outside the window laughing in my face.
