cover story
Don ’t let anyone
Do what you love bring you down
Since Ruby’s famous, you may think she’s always full
of confidence. But she’s had experiences with haters
on social media that have made her second guess
showing the world the real Ruby. “With my career, I just
try everything I can,” she says. “I do things that make
me happy and that I put a lot of work into, and some
people don’t like it.” At first, it was really hard for Ruby
to accept that, and the negative comments brought her
down. But soon, she came to a realization: “I know I’ll
never please everyone, so I just have to keep doing my
thing and focus on the good,” she smiles.
Why it’s
to be yourself!
The Coop & Cami Ask the World star teaches
I
you to love yourself, just the way you are!
Dare to stand out
Teasing or even the fear of being teased often makes kids feel like hiding
parts of themselves, whether it’s a talent or a trait. They’d rather hide
a part of who they are and fit in than show others what makes them
unique. Does this sound like you? Well, we hope reading this makes you
reconsider, and so does Ruby. “I think that being unique and just being
yourself is the only way to be. Hiding or pretending to be someone you’re
not is only a waste of your time,” she says. “You don’t want to fit in. You
will always do your best — and be your happiest — just being you.”
Her Coop & Cami character plays this all
the time. Now, it’s Ruby’s turn!
