		<description>Look, I went to school at North Allegheny with Christina and can tell you that her &quot;torture&quot; by &quot;everyone being jealous&quot; is false - most of the school was happy and excited about her success. But if you act like a diva, of course some people aren&#039;t going to like it. She wasn&#039;t entitled to special treatment, and makes claims about how horrible everyone was to her, and how jealous everyone was. That is totally self-righteous, and turns people off. Of course there will be the few who are jealous, but I never heard of her being &quot;tortured&quot;. It is a tumultuous time for kids at that age - and we were all busy dealing with our own sh** to worry about constantly treating her like a celebrity. She withdrew from school to sign on to a record contract. ALSO - I have read articles in the past stating she sang at North Allegheny&#039;s prom and was shunned and &quot;booed&quot; off the stage. This is a lie - in fact, she NEVER attended prom at North Allegheny. Now, maybe at some other school&#039;s prom she had difficulty with people, but she NEVER EVER went to prom (let alone sing at) at North Allegheny.
If she stopped worrying about how she thought she was being treated unfairly, she would have seen that everyone else was dealing with their own insecurities, desperation to fit in, and minor bullying of their very own. Any ridicule she faced was brought on by her attitude and being annoyed that she wasn&#039;t treated as &quot;special&quot; above other students. Yes she achieved great success, she is extremely talented and fortunate, but knock it off with the sob story about how &quot;unfair&quot; you had it. There were people in school who were treated far worse for just being themselves.</description>

		<description>how can u flat out state that christina&#039;s allegations of abuse are a publicity stunt.  u were not there.  even though it&#039;s possible some of it might be a slight exaggeration, i doubt she &amp; (especially) her mother would concoct the entire story when her father is still around to deny it. nor do i think she would stoop so low as to humiliate a loved one with such horrendous charges unless there was some truth to it. as far as christina moving &amp; dropping out of school. it was becuz she was bullied by her peers after she started  constantly winning singing competitions.  christina seems to lack social skills which is many times a result of being an outkast as a child.  this has fed over into adulthood as the media seems to be trying to derail her career  by constantly belittling her or ignoring her altogether even though she has been involved in many worth-while causes.  if u were an object of haterd by the media, U WOULD SOB TOO!!!</description>
