She told the publication: 'I have definitely had moments where I’m scrolling through Instagram and see these drop-dead gorgeous models, who we tend to forget are genetically a certain way, and think, "Why can’t I or don’t I look like that?"

'It’s so easy to forget that we are all so beautiful because we’re unique,' she added. 

The actress and singer has her eyes firmly set on a music tour comparable to Taylor's - telling them she would like her own arena tour'. 

'I want to get to a level where I can headline my own arena tour. I know that I can make it happen. It’s just the beginning. I see the future being really big,' she told them.

The star admitted her school-life wasn't easy as she was bullied.  

'There was a period of time where every morning at 7:02, I’d get a prank phone call at my house. That’s how I’d start every day, with a threat saying, “Come to school now. We’re going to kick your butt,”' she told the magazine. 

'So I went to school early and went in the back way. And there would be times when I’d come back to my desk and have hand sanitizer all over my books and in my water bottle. 

'People would come by and slam my locker shut when I was still putting my books in it. It was just the most absurd things that you are supposed to see only in the movies, you know?'

The Love Myself singer explained that she was homeschooled 'because of social issues', and told Seventeen that is the reason she relates to her character in her latest movie. 

She's playing awkward high school junior Nadine Byrd in The Edge of Seventeen, and told them: 'This girl goes through experiences I totally went through, where it felt like it was the absolute end of the world. 

'Just having so many moments where you question who you are and what it is that you’re good at and what you feel good in. I was homeschooled for a reason.'
