This kid makes me think there might actually be something to the hormones-in-the-water theory. I know teen idols aren’t exactly models of masculinity, but he makes Donny Osmond look like Rambo.
Justin Drew Bieber was born on March 1, 1994, in London, Ontario, at St Joseph's Hospital,[14][15] and was raised in Stratford, Ontario.[16] He is the son of Jeremy Jack Bieber and Patricia "Pattie" Mallette. Bieber's mother was 17 years old when she became pregnant. His parents were never married, but maintain a close friendship and common goals regarding their son's personal and professional life. Mallette raised her son with the help of her mother Diane, and stepfather, Bruce.[17]
In September 2012, Mallette's memoirs, titled Nowhere but Up, were published. The book tells of her early life and her work with her son to pursue a career in the music industry. In her book, as well as in an interview with the Today show, Mallette talked about how everyone around her tried to push her toward abortion, and how she refused to abort her baby.[18] Mallette worked a series of low-paying office jobs, raising Bieber as a single mother in low-income housing. Bieber has maintained contact with his father, who married another woman and had two children.[19][20]
Bieber's paternal great-grandfather was German.[21] Bieber's mother's ancestry is French Canadian.[22] He has stated that he believes that he has some undetermined Aboriginal Canadian ancestry.[23] He attended a French-language immersion elementary school in Stratford, the Jeanne Sauvé Catholic School.[17]
Interested in hockey, soccer, and chess, he kept his musical aspirations to himself.[19] As he grew up, Bieber taught himself to play the piano, drums, guitar, and trumpet.[16][24] In early 2007, aged 12, Bieber sang Ne-Yo's "So Sick" for a local singing competition in Stratford and was placed second.[24][25] Mallette posted a video of the performance on YouTube for their family and friends to see. She continued to upload videos of Bieber singing covers of various R&B songs, and Bieber's popularity on the site grew.[11]

If I were a young man today I certainly would be going. The odds would be incredible!!!!
‘Some REEPERS can be so nasty. Glad to see that you two are nice folks. I think some of these FREEPERS believe his Mother made a mistake and should have aborted this guy. It is incredible how they bash pro-life christians on this site of all places.’
You’re right. We all know who the nasties are.
Makes you wonder what has happened in their lives to make them so nasty and vindictive.
Beavis and Butthead observing a woman carrying a garden hoe.
Beavis - What’s that?
Butthead - It’s a hoe.
Beavis - I know she is but what’s she carrying?
Hehehehe
Butthead - It’s funny how one word can mean different things.
Beavis - Yeah, like masturbation.
Butthead - No, that doesn’t work.
Beavis - Sure it does, I do it all the time.
IOW, he wasn't brought up well enough to remember where he came from.
Perhaps he should have remembered his humble beginnings before spouting off like a spoiled brat.
Perhaps in time he will. We all have been guilty of acting out at some point in time of our lives. I can’t imagine how I might of acted to suddenly have wealth and fame, especially at any early age. Today I know it would be different if I were fortunate enough to enter that realm. But I would still rather have the wealth without the fame.
