"For Internet phenomenon Rebecca Black, becoming an overnight sensation came with one serious side effect -- bullying.\r\nThe 14-year-old aspiring singer, who became an instant celebrity with her YouTube hit &amp;quot;Friday,&amp;quot; revealed to ABC&amp;apos;s Nightline that the harassment at school became so intense that she had to be homeschooled. &amp;quot;When I walk by they&amp;apos;ll start singing &amp;apos;Friday&amp;apos; in a really nasally voice,&amp;quot; she said of her classmates. &amp;quot;Or, you know, they&amp;apos;ll be like, &amp;apos;Oh hey, Rebecca, guess what day it is?&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe single became a sensation when it went viral back in March; the song was ridiculed for its lyrics (&amp;quot;Kickin&amp;apos; in the front seat/Sittin&amp;apos; in the back seat/Gotta make my mind up/Which seat can I take?&amp;quot;) and had many detractors asking if it was &amp;quot;the worst song ever.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nBut its unlikely success -- it was featured on an episode of Glee and Katy Perry invited Black to appear in her music video for &amp;quot;Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)&amp;quot; -- ultimately led to more serious problems for the tween.\r\n&amp;quot;She certainly did not need that kind of pressure,&amp;quot; Black&amp;apos;s mother, Georgina Marquez, told ABC of her decision to pull her out of school.\r\n\r\nAlthough she managed to get away from the face-to-face torment from her peers, the Internet is harder to avoid. She is still the constant target of web bullying, including a story in May that claimed she was pregnant. &amp;quot;Waking up to a rumor that you&amp;apos;re pregnant is not fun,&amp;quot; Black said. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s just frustrating, because I mean, I&amp;apos;m still, like, excited over my first kiss.&amp;quot;\r\nBut the young star has managed to keep her head up, revealing, &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve learned that you just can&amp;apos;t let it get to you.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
