Justin Bieber Says Getting Slammed By The Press Is Just Like "Bullying In School"

He's kinda got a point! Then again, most kids in school aren't touring the world, allegedly shacking up with Brazilian hookers and getting detained by customs agents at every other international border...

Bieber phoned in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest from Australia on Monday morning, and he talked about his new music, his upcoming documentary Believe and how he handles the haters.

Justin has done over 150 concerts this year, and every time he lands somewhere new, chaos seems to ensue. "A lot of stuff has been confused," Bieber told Seacrest. "I’ve been on tour … so no one really knows what I’m doing out here."

He added:

"People don’t get to see me living as a 19-year-old boy … I’m still finding myself and when I have the media attacking me everyday, it’s no [different] than bullying that happens in school … I think this movie really shows who I am as a person … of course I make mistakes growing up … and I’m not perfect … people forget I’m a human being [and] I have to make mistakes and grow stronger.”
