Now:
“I’m a really claustrophobic person to begin with. I hate elevators, especially crammed elevators. I get really scared. So I think that it’s very definitely scary when girls are all around me and I can’t go anywhere. At the same time, I guess I got to get used to it, you know what I mean?” – Justin Bieber
“I definitely want to buy my mom a house once I get enough funds. I think that’s definitely something that I want to do. I think that any person, it’s their dream to buy their mother a house.” – Justin Bieber
“I have a house in Stratford and I got a house in Atlanta but I don’t really live anywhere–I live on the road. I’m kind of like living in a suitcase, travelling so much.” – Justin Bieber
“I miss my family, I miss my friends. I mean the city itself, which is very pretty and familiar because it’s really all I ever knew. But it’s more my friends and family. I could go without the city. It doesn’t really matter where I am as long as I have family and friends close to me. It’s really all that matters.” – Justin Bieber
“My mom said I wasn’t allowed to date until I was sixteen, but I broke that rule. She found out and said, ‘I’m disappointed in you.'” – Justin Bieber
“I have dumped a girl over the phone – it’s terrible isn’t it? We got into an argument during a phone call so I basically said, I don’t wanna be with you any more,’ and she cried. I saw her after that and it was a bit awkward, but we’re not enemies now, so that’s cool. But I wouldn’t recommend it, it’s very mean!” – Justin Bieber
“It would be a shame to go out with a hot girl you can’t have a decent conversation with!” – Justin Bieber
“I also try to read all of my fan mail. A lot of them send me candy, which I’m not allowed to eat ’cause my mom says it might be poisonous.” – Justin Bieber
“I’m just a regular 16 year old kid. I make good grilled cheese and I like girls.” – Justin Bieber
“I still [use Twitter] as much as before. People write to me and say, ‘I’m giving up, you’re not talking to me.’ I just write them a simple message like, ‘Never give up,’ you know? And it changes their life.” – Justin Bieber
“There’s more people that like me than there are who hate me, so I kind of brush it off.” – Justin Bieber

“You never put a boyfriend before family. Family will always be there – boyfriends come and go.” – Jessica
“Not all learning can be measured by grades.” – Beth
“If I study and watch TV at the same time, I end up studying the TV. ” – Charlie
“It does not matter how much money a family has. If there is a lot of love in a home, that family is richer than any millionaire could ever be.” – Whitney
“I should always try my best. If I don’t succeed, then at least I will feel good about myelf.” – Laura
“People are quick to condemn you for the things you’ve done, but they’ll never give you credit for all the times you resisted temptation.” – Heather
“One of the greatest gifts my parents gave me was their love for each other.” – Jamie
“Simply saying, “I believe in you” can make someone’s day.” – Mary
“When you pray, you get a happy feeling inside like God just walked into your heart and is wrming himself at a cozy fire.” – Charles
“The best place to go with a child is in their imagination.” – Amie
“In a difficult situation, my parents need me to be strong, because that makes them strong.” – Kathryn
I have picked Justin Bieber for the boy dealing with the “Now” category, because it is in vogue right now, and the other guys from „Then” category were in vogue long time ago.
Please make a comparison and tell me (using the comment form) what you think about “Now” and “Then”.
