Sexy Mom Live, Mature Celebrity Gossip

You are salivating at this picture of sexy mom, Angelina Jolie, but do you know that she felt unsexy in her early life? Her life story is an important lesson for teenage girls who have low self-esteem, so read on.

After Angelina Jolie's parents separated in 1976, she and her brother were raised by their mother, who abandoned her acting ambitions and moved with them to New York.

As a child, Jolie probably was inspired in acting by watching movies regularly with her mother. When she was 11, the family moved back to Los Angeles and Jolie enrolled at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, where she trained for two years and appeared in several stage productions.

She was a misfit at Beverly Hills High School and was largely isolated since most of the kids came from affluent background. However, Angelina Jolie's mother survived only on a modest income.

Angelina Jolie wore second-hand clothes and was often teased by other students. She was often ridiculed for her distinctive features, for being extremely thin, and for wearing glasses and braces.

Her self-esteem was further diminished when her initial attempts at modeling proved unsuccessful.

She started to cut herself; later commenting, "I collected knives and always had certain things around. For some reason, the ritual of having cut myself and feeling the pain, maybe feeling alive, feeling some kind of release, it was somehow therapeutic to me."

At 14, Angelina Jolie dropped out of her acting classes and dreamed of becoming a funeral director. During this period, she wore black, dyed her hair purple and went out moshing with her live-in boyfriend.

Two years later, after the relationship had ended, she rented an apartment above a garage a few blocks from her mother's home.

Angelina Jolie returned to theatre studies and graduated from high school, though in recent times she has referred to this period with the observation, "I am still at heart — and always will be — just a punk kid with tattoos".
