Gossip Teen

Charity and giving back is very important to Justin Bieber.

The teenager uses his music and concert sales to help benefit his charities of choice: Pencils of Promise and The Children’s Miracle Network. JB also meets with kids from the Make-A-Wish Foundation before concerts and tries to connect with them and make their experience memorable.

CNN interviewed Justin and asked why this is so important to him.

“For me it’s about helping people out that haven’t had opportunity,” Bieber said.

Justin and his mother really struggled and had hard times until she uploaded videos of her son to YouTube and he was discovered. As Bieber’s popularity grew, his memories of how tough it was for him and his mom inspired him to help out as often as he could.

Variety’s 4th Annual Power of Youth 2010 event was held on Sunday October 24th at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles and Justin Bieber was among this year’s honored guests. Bieber has been very active with Pencils of Promise – the wonderful group that promotes change through education starting with the simple promise of a pencil.

Justin had more than pencils to hand out tonight though. The 16 year-old pop star is performing a sold-out show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Monday night and the generous Bieber reserved 500 tickets to give away for kids to come and have a good time and forget their troubles for a night. JB said via his twitter:

“heard there are a lot of kids at this event who havent had it easy. I know what that is like so i got some surprises. Now out in Ontario getting ready for the show but want to say thank u to @Variety for the Power of Youth ceremony 2day. Best part was I got to surprise the charities being honored. My show tomorrow at the Staples Center in LA is sold out but… …We saved 500 tickets to give 100 each to each charity being honored to give to kids in need and let them have a fun night they deserve. I know what its like to have some tough times so I hope those tickets make u kids coming smile a little. Gonna be a fun show. Thanks.”

That’s a great thing for Justin to do!
