I think this is a bit of revisionism, on her part. I have seen some of her high school photos from a VH1 or MTV special years back. She was conventionally pretty looking- nothing outrageous or shocking. Her black hair was long and parted in the middle like Stevie during the BN years, her senior portrait features a more 'set' hairdo which looks too mature for her. There were photos shown of her wearing a varsity letter sweater with the cheerleading troupe, and footage of her performing at the senior talent night. Nothing at all suggests that she was weird, different, a rebel or a bullied little shrinking violet.
