In the accompanying interview, the former Dancing with the Stars contestant talks about dealing with bullying as a young teen, which ultimately led her to making YouTube videos.
She said:
“I had really bad anxiety. I would have panic attacks every time I was around a lot of people. I didn’t even want to hang out with my family members. It got to the point that I didn’t think I could ever shake this. I thought, ├óΓé¼╦£My God, this is going to be my life forever.’ I was scared to express my opinion or talk because I was afraid of judgment. I thought, ├óΓé¼╦£I’m always going to be too scared to live life.’ That’s when I knew I had to do something, and I started doing the videos.”
Since launching her channel in 2009, Bethany has amassed over 9 million followers and collaborated on her own fashion line with Aeropostale!
And she’s not even 20 yet!
