00:00Hopefully I can break down people's walls that have been built up around
00:04Sexuality because I'm obviously not too embarrassed to talk about these things
00:22As long as I'm with you guys and you guys are loving the music and singing along that's my piece that's my bliss
00:27That's my purpose
00:30I
01:00I
01:30I
01:39Hey, I'm Miley Cyrus, and I'm 12 years old. What do you mean? You can't go? I can't help it
01:44It's Jackson's birthday, and we're having a party and I mean wait a minute
02:00I
02:04Love going to work with Miley she's a
02:07Amazing young lady got a great deal of talent, and she's my little girl, so it's the best of both worlds
02:30I
02:33I'm like am I gonna be Hannah today or my Miley today cuz I really don't want to put the wig on you know
02:37It's like I'm not really in the mood today
02:39Or some days. I'm like. I don't want to get up and don't want to wash my hair
02:42So I'm like I want to be Hannah
02:44so much easier
02:46No, but I guess it sometimes. I do and like I think this is really gonna
02:51Kind of help the confusion. I think this is gonna kind of really set me apart
03:00I
03:02I
03:29Inspiration was a lot of
03:32Just being able to write
03:34Without having to say oh, I can't on I can't or can say this and what the rules are there was really no boundaries
03:40And I think this just shows people who I am because I could have taken it and ran with it
03:44And I just I did what I thought was right for me and for my fans
03:47I
03:58Was really hard every day from like 11 to 18 spending I didn't get a school escape like most people nothing
04:03I went to work with my dad
04:04That's why I like as soon as I turned 18 you guys wonder why I was like twerking at Juicy J shows
04:09I just spent 10 years every day with my dad and grandma
04:12I'll never say nothing bad about Molly because I know she's smart and I know she's talented and
04:17I know that she's had to go to drastic measures to try to make her point. Leave me alone. I'm not Hannah Montana anymore
04:24I want to grow up. So if she had to go to those extremes that evidently worked for her
04:28I
04:39Basically went to two or three years where I wouldn't wear
04:43Shorts, I stopped wearing like skirts on stage all this because after the VMAs and I had on my cute little new bodysuit
04:51Everyone started comparing me to a turkey
04:58I
05:05There's so much attention on me and everything that I kind of say and that I do and I think if there's that
05:10Conversation instead of it just being like can you believe what you work and you believe it's down the stage can actually be about
05:15Awareness and prevention and getting into kind of young people's brains and getting to understand sexuality and how to be safe
05:28The happy hippie foundation primarily supports the online groups for trans and non-binary teens and preteens
05:35For so many youth these groups are the only space young people can truly be themselves
05:58I think it's a great way to get involved
06:09You can't always get what you want and happy hippies we adjust and we accept
06:17Everyone who they are and so Donald Trump I accept you
06:28I
06:59I
07:12Was just talking yesterday about why our bad habits so easy and good habits are so hard
07:18I know I have a I have them
07:21Some chocolate chip cookies downstairs with peanut butter and they call my name
07:28I
07:58You
