Perrie Edwards discusses her battle with self confidence as bullies made her ‘criticise’ herself 

Perrie Edwards opened up about her battle with self-confidence, revealing that cruel bullies at school made her “criticize” herself as a child.

The Little Mix singer, 29, heartbreakingly admitted that she “hated her freckles” and even asked her mother for “an acid peel” in a bid to get rid of them.

Speaking in a new candid interview, Perrie said she internalized hate as a result of being tormented and would find fault with herself.

The musician added that now, her self-esteem is a far cry from when she was an “insecure” teenager, since she had learned “not to worry about what others think.”

“When I was younger I was a bit insecure, I hated my freckles, I was always pretty sick and anemic so I had dark circles under my eyes, I was very malnourished and skinny, and I had a big scar on my stomach from the surgeries. ‘, said Funny.

She continued: ‘I just hated everything. People used to intimidate me, and I think it was something that I internalized.

Everyone criticized me and that made me criticize myself. I asked my mom if she could give me an acid peel to get rid of my freckles.

Perrie later added that her confidence has come with age and learning “not to care what other people think.”

The slice of the singer’s life comes after Perrie, Leigh-Anne and Jade announced they would be taking a well-deserved break after their Confetti tour, which took place in late 2022.

The singer explained that while Jesy Nelson has already released her music, she doesn’t have a “set timeline” and is working on a solo career.

Last year. Little Mix announced in a statement: ‘We wanted to let everyone know that after the Confetti tour in April/May next year, we will be taking a break from Little Mix.

‘We’re not breaking up, Little Mix is ​​here to stay. We have plans for more music, tours and performances in the future.

“We’ve made so many amazing memories with all of you, and we can’t wait to make many more.”

The band added: “We are sisters and we will always have each other and you, the fans, in our lives.” Little Mix is ​​forever. See you on tour! Jade, Leigh-Anne and Perrie x.’

While Perrie is busy recording and paving the way for her solo career, Jade has reportedly signed a deal with RCA Records and Harry Styles’ management team.
