“Don’t be afraid to be yourself just because you’re not like everybody else in class,” the singer tells  Seventeen magazine via Access Hollywood.

“If you want to dye your hair green and that’s what makes you happy, then dye your hair green — no matter what other people might say about it. Not everybody is going to like you, that’s the world we live in; that’s reality.”

Good advice from someone who's sporting a bright red cropped hair cut, although she's rocking a blonde coif on the cover of the magazine.
