Growing up as the child of famous parents Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith was "absolutely, excruciatingly terrible", according to their singer/actress daughter Willow.
The 17-year-old Whip My Hair hitmaker rages about her difficult upbringing in the spotlight in the first issue of new digital outlet Girlgaze.
"Growing up and trying to figure out your life... while people feel like they have some sort of entitlement to know what's going on, is absolutely, excruciatingly terrible," she complains.
"So I feel like most kids like me end up going down a spiral of depression," she continues, "and the world is sitting there looking at them through their phones; laughing and making jokes and making memes at the crippling effect that this lifestyle has on the psyche."
But Willow insists she has never felt sorry for herself, because she "can't change" her face, her parents or "any of those things".
She says, "When you're born into it, there are two choices that you have: I'm either going to try to go into it completely and help from the inside, or... I'm really going to take myself completely out of the eye of society. There's really no in-between."
While the teenager has some grumblings about having to live her life in the limelight, she has nothing but admiration for her movie star parents.
In a 2016 chat with Pharrell Williams for Interview magazine, which also featured her 19-year-old brother Jaden, she gushed, "Growing up, all I saw was my parents trying to be the best people they could be, and people coming to them for wisdom, coming to them for guidance, and them not putting themselves on a pedestal, but literally being face-to-face with these people and saying, 'I'm no better than you, but the fact that you're coming to me to reach some sort of enlightenment or to shine a light on something, that makes me feel love and gratitude for you.'"
She also raved about her mum and dad's generosity, sharing they "keep giving and giving and giving", although she made it clear she wasn't referring to just money, but instead "something spiritual that only certain people can grasp and accept".
