Did Victoria Justice Learn From Britney & Jamie Lynn Spears’ Issues?

Parade magazine spoke with Victoria Justice in a Q&A, asking the ‘Victorious’ star about if she always wanted to be an entertainer, the best gift a fan has given her, the progress on her debut album, celebrity crushes, her first movie ‘Fun Size and if she learned any lessons seeing the mental health issues with Britney Spears and the teen pregnancy of Brit’s sister Jamie Lynn when starring with Jamie Lynn on ‘Zoey 101’.

“It’s different for different people. No one’s the same, no one has the same upbringing, the same situation,” the 19-year-old said. “I think you have to find your own path. I grew up with parents who have always been really supportive and raised me with a really good head on my shoulders and who keep me grounded. I think I am most thankful for them because of that and always believing in me. At the end of the day, I am going to make my mistakes and learn my own lessons. Hopefully not learn the hard, hard way, but you never know what is going to happen. But I think I have a pretty good head on my shoulders right now.”
