Bea’s Troubled Teenage Years

Despite Bea’s speedy rise to success, she had a rather tough childhood. The singer has revealed that she was expelled from Sacred Heart High School for bad behavior and bad grades. She later completed her thirteenth year at the all-girls Hammersmith secondary school where she was one of the few Filipino girls.

Speaking to the Guardian, the singer noted that she found herself among a group of friends and eventually did a lot of drugs. The artist recalls feeling empty during her childhood while sharing that during one summer when she was about 15 or 16, there wasn’t a single day when she was not on drugs. The depression she constantly felt during her childhood years seem to have seeped into the lyrics she pens which mostly talk about infidelity, despair, and mental illness with a sense of hope.
