In the note he shared with his 292 million followers, Bieber explained that he grew up in “a system that rewards my talent but does not always protect my soul.”
“There were moments when I felt like I was being used, that I was rushing, that I was turning into something that I couldn’t quite choose,” the star admitted. “That kind of pressure leaves scars that you can’t see on stage.”
“I was carrying anger,” Bieber wrote. “I asked God why. But Jesus continues to meet me in the midst of pain, not excusing the things that hurt me, but teaching me how not to be resentful.”

The “Love Song” artist made his debut with his 2009 EP “My World”. He was 15 years old. He rose to superstardom in 2010.
“I went through pain that shaped me before I could find the words to name it,” Bieber wrote. “I was in a system that took more than it protected. But I don’t speak as someone who is still broken; I speak as someone who Jesus has already healed.”
“What happened to me was real,” he explained. “But he doesn’t have the last word. Jesus didn’t just help me cope – He brought back my identity. I’m not a product. I’m not what the industry demands. I’m a son. Because I’m healed, I can forgive; not to excuse injustice, but to make sure it doesn’t reproduce itself through me.”
