Madison Beer worries she has the mental age of a teenager

Madison Beer worries she's stuck with the mental age of a teenager after being forced to grow up so fast.

The former child star was discovered by fellow pop singer Justin Bieber when she was 13 and she went on to forge a successful music career after signing a major record deal, but Madison, now 24 , says starting work at such a tender age was “abnormal” and made her feel much younger than she actually is.

In an interview with The Independent newspaper, she was asked if she felt pressured to grow up and she replied: “Yes, absolutely. I've been working since I was 12, it's a very abnormal thing. I was very eager to grow in many ways because I was in the industry…now I’m like, poof!

“I'm 24 and mentally I feel like I'm still 19 or 20. Sometimes it trips me up a little.”

Madison also opened up about the dark times she went through after explicit photos of her when she was 16 were leaked, after previously revealing she attempted suicide when she was at her lowest .

She added of her mental health struggles to The Independent: “There were a lot of very lonely dark spots for me that I felt like not many people or anyone could understand. I felt crazy. And I felt really horrible.”

During a previous appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” she said of her lowest moment: “I got to the point where things were catching up to me that I never recognized, that I never wanted to face. “I feel like I'm pretty nice. to put on this facade and live this role that had been assigned to me for so long and it all caught up to me one day and then one day turned into weeks and months and honestly it feels like It had been at least a year since I was always in this kind of state of mind of suicidal thoughts. »
