Teen Sensation Rebecca Black, known for her amateur music video “Friday old ABC that she’s dropping out of school due to bullying.  She’ll be home schooled until everything dies down. The 14-year-old is being home-schooled by her mother, a former teacher.  ”When I walk by [other kids will] start singing ‘Friday’ in a really nasally voice… Or, you know, they’ll be like, ‘Oh hey, Rebecca, guess what day it is?’” says Black. Her mom condoned the decision, saying that Black doesn’t need the pressure or the taunting.  She also wants her daughter to focus on her career. 
Black’s first viral music video, Friday, has 167 million views on YouTube. The debut of her second single, ”My Moment” has 22 million. Black says she doesn’t know how much money she’s made from her songs, but says it’s enough to cover college tuition someday.
