Earle even opened up about her struggles with acne. When she posted a video about it, she found a group of people who could relate to having issues with their skin.
"I got to a point where I said, 'This just isn’t real.' It isn’t authentic for me to be putting on these filters and taking on makeup and pretending like I’m not struggling with something that a lot of people deal with," she said.
Earle then added, "I thought people from my school would judge me and immediately it was just this overwhelmingly kind community and I think a lot of people resonated with that."

"A lot of people were asking me why I didn’t drop out, but it was super important to me," she said. Earle added, "I was learning a lot from school. And I think that people are going to hopefully be able to use their education to the best of their abilities and do the unimaginable."
