Rebecca Black has been forced to leave high school after suffering from cruel bullying at the hands of her classmates.

The 14-year-old was launched into the spotlight after her so-bad-it's-good song and video 'Friday' hit YouTube and became an instant viral sensation. Just like she pulled the infamous 'Friday' video from the video sharing site, Black is now pulling out of school and opting for homeschooling.

Rebecca told ABC News, "When I walk by they'll start singing 'Friday' in a really nasally voice. Or, you know, they'll be like, 'Oh hey, Rebecca, guess what day it is?'"

Black's mother also said that homeschooling will give her daughter more time to focus on her career and that the family has hired Rebecca a bodyguard for additional security.

Black has also admitted to being the victim of cyber-spewed death threats. Well, without school, now everyday is Friday for Rebecca!

Hope things work out for her some folks hate it when people try to better them self or move in other directions. Its like trying to get out of a bucket of crabs they pull you back in. One day I hope she laughs all the way to the bank. Then the same people will hate here because shes rich!

This is why you should THINK before you put a video on YouTube. High school is bad enough with out having the entire world listen and laugh at a song that just annoys the living daylights out of people.

I was surprised. Good points: She's got range. It has a catchy melody. Impressed by the dancers and musicians who didn't look over 40.
Bad points: Song repetative and has no real meaning but that can change.
Suggestion to her: Keep it up, get more meaningful lyrics. If this is what you want, be prepared to wake up music, go to bed music, work hard and remember. You're only as good as your last hit and as you mature in age, so should your songs. At 15 what you sang about at 14 no one will really care. As to the bullying part, threats on a life are so press charges.

She's only a child, someones daughter, sister, aunt, niece, grandaughter , cousin, god mother etc. Let the poor kid have fun doing what she likes. I hate that we live in a country whreas you recieve death threats for a simple music video. America do we not have anything better to do with our time. lets focus on real issues like the lack of jobs and the H.O.A telling the military families that they cant put a poster on thier own lawn to salute the troops. What has america come to. I used to think this was the land of the free.

Hey, John Boy

Bullies are soooo stupid...you go girl...like the other post said: Success is the best revenge....you just succeed and let those other idiots rot in their own juices. Kids can be so cruel and then they grow up to be cruel adults....but, they are still the same pack of losers....

This is yet another STUNT to keep her in the limelight.....reality stars are killing the arts. Anyone can sing with the help of money and machines.....
Sing ACOUSTIC like Justin Bieber, play at LEAST one instrument well (Justin Bieber plays at least 3) with natural
talent and then you would DESERVE a spot in the limelight. Then MAYBE I will care.....
