Selena Gomez talks about her Disney days

     Selena Gomez isn't happy about her younger teenage days on Disney Channel. Gomez, now 25-years-old, rose to fame on Disney Channel when she starred on “Wizards of Waverly Place.” Disney Channel spotted her on “Barney & Friends” and immediately recruited her their business.

     Although Selena was in the spotlight, most of her memories are negative. The actress, singer, and songwriter said that it was all fun to her while she was little, but when she became a teenager, it all changed. She says as she got older, the truth started to become exposed. Media made her feel uncomfortable and she says she couldn't even walk on the beach without them following her with cameras. “As a guy, I can understand why the media would be interested in her, but also they should respect her privacy,” a source stated.

     “I can understand why Selena Gomez may have felt violated. She was a pretty, young girl that everyone liked or had an interest in,” says Caroline Fluke. Gomez says these feelings followed her all throughout her teenage years, but something changed when she turned eighteen. She fell in love with her then-boyfriend, Justin Bieber, and took a break from fame in 2012 until 2014, when her solo album debuted. Gomez took another break in 2016 when she admitted herself into an all-female treatment center to help her anxiety and panic attacks. “As a little girl, I always looked up to Selena and watched Wizards of Waverly place. If I were in her shoes, I would've felt the same way with all the media.”

     Selena says she does what makes her happy and sometimes that means taking a break. “As long as I'm healthy and happy in my mind, I'm all about it."
