Selena Gomez got her start [1] on the Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place in 2008 but has since moved on to more "mature roles," like her new Netflix venture [2], 13 Reasons Why [3]. While recently discussing the series with The New York Times, the cover star [4] for Vogue's April issue opened up about why the project hits so close to home [5]. "I think [Asher] understood that I knew what it meant to be bullied. I went to the biggest high school in the world, which is the Disney Channel and my mom had a lot of history dealing with [bullying]. I heard her stories growing up. She's very open about it."

Despite being the most followed person on Instagram [6], Selena also revealed she still deals with haters on the social media app. "I delete the app from my phone at least once a week. You fixate on the [negative] ones. It's like they want to cut to your soul. Imagine all the insecurities that you already feel about yourself and having someone write a paragraph pointing out every little thing — even if it's just physical." 13 Reasons Why will be available to stream [7] on March 31!
