Justin Bieber is now a high school graduate. The pop star earned his diploma from St. Michael Catholic Secondary School in his hometown of Stratford, Ontario as one of 192 students in the graduating class. Though Bieber did not attend the school's commencement on June 28th, he is listed in the graduation program among his classmates. The school did not offer more details on Bieber's education or potential upcoming academic plans.

"I just finished high school," the singer told the Daily Telegraph back in May. "I passed my test – I'm free! It was hard doing school and work every day." Bieber will kick off his North American "Believe" tour on September 29th in Glendale, Arizona.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
