Black's mother has decided to home school the 14-year-old from now on, a new decision which also allows more time to focus on her daughter's career. But the teen seems zen about her alarming circumstances. The online anti-Rebecca comments became so violent at one point the FBI became involved when Black started receiving death threats. But now that the bullying has branched off the internet and into her real life, Black has been forced to act.
If anything, Black is a poster child for how to handle sudden online fame and scrutiny. The teen has a remarkably thick skin. Perhaps she is more fit for fame than anyone is willing to admit.
"I've had a lot of experience with not being liked and all that," she tells ABC. "I think if I hadn't had to deal with that in the past, then I totally would have handled this differently and I would have gone down in burning flames. But I've learned that you just can't let it get to you."
Now, she says, fans surround her wherever she goes, and she travels with her own entourage of a publicist, manager, stylist, and, yes, bodyguard. Not letting the spotlight dim on her just yet, her "My Moment" follow-up video has reached more than 22 million views in the past three weeks (YouTube even gave her a "Rebecca" account name). While Black has only made enough money to cover her future college tuition--and she's certainly spending more than that on videos and career nurturers right now--she's one of the few online sensations who could successfully harness the unending power of haters to her own advantage.

This is sad to see. I understand her reasons for wanting to be homeschooled. It's a shame how people react to people who they don't like whether it'd be voice, personality, body features, etc.

Returned for David-
anyway...... i'm addicted to her song friday and my moment all singers now successful with branding only... everyone using studio autotuning... if they perform live its horrible :O
I find this a mix of saddening with hilarious. She's one of the people with the most haters around, and yet she manages to even use them to rise. Personally, I don't think she has talent for singing, but she has brains. She can handle fame.

haha that's a pretty funny thought, Rebecca Black snorting cocaine. . .
nah but in all seriousness people are so damn mean and stupid, fucking humanity. And people wonder why I am a misanthrope
i feel sorry for her and in all honesty before i watched that un-autotuned video i didnt realise she was such a bad singer, but yeah i still feel for the girl with all the hating she gets. she got an opportunity and she took it, it may not look so good but its payed off and eventually she'l be earning a fortune
I feel really sorry for her. I don't like her music but I still feel sympathy toward her. Haters gonna hate as that saying goes. I am glad that she is a strong-willing girl who is able to handle all the total BS people throw out at her, I like her strength and dignity at least. People are just really cruel and mean and it's ashame. They have nothing else better to do but just sit around and put some one down every chance they get.
My friend told me about this, and frankly I'm not surprised. It's not like this was solely going to stay on the internet. Still, she's 14. Focus on school work instead of fame. I predict another Britney Spears moment in the future.
