She enrolled in an all-public school due to bullying. She joined the school's musical theater program and felt that she was "meant to be". In April 2011, Black dropped out in favour of homeschooling. She cited the need to concentrate on her work and to avoid taunts from her old classmates. Black claimed that her busy schedule had also led her to miss English classes.
