Selena G, 'I Still Get Awkward In A Bikini' :

But at the same time I'm only 18. I don't want to be scared or hide because everything that I'm doing now should not be taken seriously.

Example of something you can't do? I try not to ever encounter that question because I feel like I don't want this to live my life for me. I know that there are certain places that maybe I shouldn't attend, but I don't want that to ever stop me.

Many female tween stars moving into adult roles seem to feel pressure to amp up sex appeal. Do you? I've never been the kind of person who thought that I needed to be that way. I have a core audience around the ages of 7 to 15. Now that I am getting older, I'm about to be 19, of course I'm becoming a woman, and I want to explore that side of myself but at the same time, I have to be true to those people that have been with me. I still get awkward if I'm in a bikini so I don't think I'll be doing anything too drastic anytime soon.
