"Rebecca Black has clarified recent reports about her decision to be homeschooled.  The 14-year-old told ABC&amp;#039;s Nightline that she chose to leave her school after being taunted by bullies following the success of her viral hit &amp;#039;Friday&amp;#039;.  Black said during the interview: &amp;quot;When I walk by they&amp;#039;ll start singing &amp;#039;Friday&amp;#039; in a really nasally voice. Or, you know, they&amp;#039;ll be like, &amp;#039;Oh hey, Rebecca, guess what day it is?&amp;#039;&amp;quot; However, the teenager has now taken to her Twitter account to say that while bullies were part of the reason she chose to be homeschooled, it was also because of difficulties combining her busy work schedule with class. Black wrote: &amp;quot;Although the bullying was one reason I left school, the MAIN reason was that my school has a policy that missing school because of work would be unexcused, so I entered a California online high school for performers and athletes to get credit for work they do at home or on the road.  &amp;quot;Bottom line, I can&amp;#039;t follow my dreams while going to a normal school. It&amp;#039;s just not possible in my school district.&amp;quot; Black released her second single &amp;#039;My Moment&amp;#039; and its accompanying music video last month, explaining that the song addresses some of the negativity she has received since the release of &amp;#039;Friday&amp;#039; but carries the message that she will continue to follow her dreams anyway. The singer, who picked up the Teen Choice Award for &amp;#039;Choice Web Artist&amp;#039; last week, performed a medley of &amp;#039;My Moment&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Friday&amp;#039; during an appearance on America&amp;#039;s Got Talent&amp;#039;s results show on Wednesday.  &amp;gt; Rebecca Black on hearing Katy Perry video request: &amp;#039;I fell over&amp;#039; &amp;gt; Katy Perry and Rebecca Black duet on &amp;#039;Friday&amp;#039; - Video Watch Rebecca Black&amp;#039;s music video for &amp;#039;My Moment&amp;#039; below:       "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
