While YouTube wasn't as used by millions around the world, Rebecca Black was only 13 when the song and music video for "Friday" became the viral hit many now know today. Production and concept wise, "Friday" was met with universally negative reviews, and Rebecca got severely bullied for it.
However, she showed her true potential as a singer and gained a respective following for breaking free from the viral hit that amassed toxicity to her mental health. March 2nd marks World Teen Mental Wellness Day and Rebecca takes part with the experience and raw pain she went through.
Due to being bullied for her heavily autotuned vocals, Rebecca knows what it's like to feel depressed and stressed from the negativity her fame first brought her. Teaming up with Hollister Co., she will interact with high school students to talk about mental wellness.
With Rebecca's career steadily rising, she is the perfect choice to team up with the clothing company and bring more awareness to teens' mental health, which is one of the most complicated, but important things to bring up in general. Her dark days might not be exactly over, but Rebecca shows her potential as a talented singer and great role model for helping teens have a voice.
