Singer Justin Bieber has revealed that he decided to clean up his act and turn things around because he was tired of seeing himself making headlines in the same way a reality television star might. 

Speaking about his past behaviour and decision to change, the 'Sorry' hitmaker explained that he simply had people around him who were enabling him instead of supporting and guiding him:

"I was rebelling against the world. I started to believe the hype and was acting a certain way. I was just being a jerk. I got so involved in ‘me me me’. You’re young, people are telling you you’re great all the time and you start believing it. It became Justin Bieber, reality star, rather than the musician. I just found myself in a place I didn’t want to be.”

Bieber, meanwhile, recently spoke to Britain's The Mirror newspaper about his devoted fans and admitted that he doesn't like to think that they idolise him because it puts so much pressure on him: "I would really suggest to people, ‘Don’t put your faith in me’. Because I’m gonna disappoint you every time. Yeah. It’s scary. But I want them to know that I’m not going to be able to solve their problems… I’m not that higher power.”
