The Girl Who Sang The Viral Song ‘Friday’ Is Now Opening Up About All The Online Bullying She Faced Over It

It’s heartbreaking to me that there are people that would take the time to bully a 13-year-old, send her death threats, make her miserable, all because of a silly little song she came up with.

“Above all things, I just wish I could go back and talk to my 13-year-old self who was terribly ashamed of herself and afraid of the world,” Rebecca shared in an Instagram post.

“To my 15-year-old self who felt like she had nobody to talk to about the depression she faced. To my 17-year-old self who would get to school only to get food thrown at her and her friends.”

“To my 19-year-old self who had almost every producer/songwriter tell me they’d never work with me.”

“Hell, to myself a few days ago who felt disgusting when she looked in the mirror!”

“I’m trying to remind myself more and more that every day is a new opportunity to shift your reality and lift your spirit.”

“You are not defined by any one choice or thing.”

“Time heals and nothing is finite. It’s a process that’s never too late to begin.”

Rebecca now lives in Los Angeles and is still a singer.

Be kind to people on and offline. It really matters.
