Memoir? Not to downplay the sincerity and courage it took her to share such personal details of her life but isn’t she not even 24 yet? Writing a memoir this early is pretty pointless, but to each their own and I hope it helped her heal from some of the internal strife she may have been holding on to.

A memoir doesn't have to be about the scope of someone's entire life, just an important part of it. There are quite a few celebrities that could write a substantial memoir by the time they're 24 tbh

Considering the brain isn't even fully developed until after 25 years and emotional maturity isn't achieved until past 30 or even 40, I think you can understand why people would question a memoir from a 24 year old. Maybe they have enough experiences to write about, but I doubt they would have the ability to fully understand their experience and analyze it properly. 

 

But, it's her choice and good for her being comfortable enough to write about her own experiences and I'm sure many young people will relate to her. But the age factor will turn certain people from taking her very seriously. 

I’m not sure if this girl has fans but it’s such a scam that she’s written an autobiography at the age of 24

Did she just give up on music

no! she actually has an album ready to release, she wrote this to address so many things she's lived through the past couple of years because she feels like sharing and its her story to do so, its her right, also cause she felt like "making this an instagram post" wouldn't make it justice to the level of the stuff she discusses on it!

she does and i understand questioning why at the age of 24 but

 

Spoiler

she discusses being s/a as a child, having her nudes leak at 14 years old, being in two really toxic relationships back to back and being constantly scrutinized online since she was like 12

so i do feel like she has a lot to talk about

I did not know that she got her nudes leaked. That's so ****** up 

i do think it’s a bit early for a memoir considering she only has 1 album but it sounds like it was probably healing for her to write about these things. kudos to her, i might read the book
