Bella Thorne Deals With Hate By Knowing She's Helping Fans

Bella Thorne shows off her gorgeous long locks in a photo from her spread in Complex‘s latest issue, available now.

The 19-year-old actress opened up about her future, social media and having a positive impact on fans. Check it:

On using social media to respond to rumors: “It’s hard because everybody’s like, no don’t comment on it. But I try to use [social media] to speak up because it just genuinely irks me. I’m just like, ‘I can’t believe I’m reading this right now, like this is absurd. You sketchy-a** b**ches. Where’d you hear that?’”

On hearing from fans: “A lot of people come up to me on the street and tell me I’ve changed their life in some way. It is so f**king dope when somebody’s like, ‘Hey, I have dyslexia, you make me feel more comfortable,’ or, ‘I’ve been bullied and you help,’ or ‘I’m bisexual and I can come out to my parents.’ The hatred online is worth this – because on the other side of the hatred is the positive side, and it is so f**king awesome.”

On her hopes for the future: “I just hope that I’m f**king happy. I’ve spent so much of my life – in different areas of my life I was so unhappy. I wasted my whole childhood growing up. Mostly, I just hope I keep changing people’s lives and I hope I don’t get to a jaded point. I hope when I’m 30 I’m not bent up about the media. That’d be such an unhappy life to live: You’re gonna be 30 and worry about what people are saying online.”
