Not talking about her wealth. Whether she's rich or not, I can't imagine how hard it was to be a 13 year old and having the entire world laughing and making fun of you. It's hard enough to be bullied in school when you're that age. Can you imagine the mental anguish she went through from that? At 13 you're just trying to find out who you are. Which I assume would be really hard when everyone in the world is dissecting, commenting, and making fun of your voice, your looks, etc. Doesn't matter how much money your parents have..that's gotta hurt.

Biggest quote/thought for me: "The only answer I can give to 'Why didn't you just stop?' is Why don't we all just stop, then? Why doesn't anyone just stop?" This is the question at the heart of what holds any of us back from doing what we love. Rebecca faced one of the biggest "just stop" messages the universe could send her and she laughed in its face and is writing her own story now. Great example for how to live life on your own terms and how overcoming the greatest hurdles gives us the gift of realizing our greatest strengths.

I always loved Friday. Even at the height of people teasing it. I watched the video countless times and showed it to tons of people. It was a hit. Nothing that’s actually “hated” becomes that successful. It was unorthodox and silly, but it was a smash hit. She should be proud.

[@spackar2720]

The song, her singing voice at 13, and the video are all terrible. Just admit it. Millions of people hated them based upon the huge number of negative KZbin responses. Rebecca Black's parents ought to be ashamed of themselves for indulging her and letting her record the song and film the video.

I fully agree. The song is a better song than she seems to realize. Sure people mocked it but it’s still catchy as hell and got everyone talking.

I have so much respect for her after watching this. Everyone loves a witch hunt, jump in the hate wagon, and making fun of others is as easy as a keyboard away... I was one of the people who enjoyed the parodies, etc... but I didn't hate her, just don't like the melody...

[@luciannebeans6679]

I was 20 when the song came out. I thought it was cute, just a middle schooler living her best life. When you’re significantly older, you don’t see kids as equals and you judge less. I am grateful to have come of age before social media really took off. Poor Gen Z, having to subject themselves to the internet’s scrutiny 24-7 as children. Good on Rebecca for overcoming that and making her own career.
