The singer really wants to make things work

Reading the title of this piece of news you might be getting flashes of things parents and friends might have said to you when you seemed to be stuck on a particular person who wasn't the right one for you, you know the whole “there are other fish in the pond” speech.

But Selena Gomez doesn't want to hear about other fish the pond, she's focused on landing Justin Bieber as a boyfriend and then possibly a husband. But that's turning out to be quite tricky since Justin is clearly interested in getting with as many girls as possible.

Selena was taking a break from work to focus on herself, but it ended up being about Justin Bieber instead

Yesterday we reported on a rumor which said Justin's mom, Pattie Mallette, was coaching Selena on how to handle her son (which is weird since she should be teaching her son how to behave in a relationship) and today it seems that Selena is working overtime to win Justin's complete attention.

An insider told Hollywoodlife that “She made the decision to take this year off from work, but it was supposed to be so that she could focus on herself and getting healthy. Unfortunately it’s turned into being all about Justin and her health has actually suffered, it hasn’t been good for her.”

Selena's family has seen the problems and are now urging her to get back to work, if only to escape from giving Justin Bieber more attention than he deserves. “Selena’s family would love to see her get back to work because it would give her something besides Justin to focus on and they know that being creative makes her happy. But at the same time they don’t want to force her to do anything she doesn’t want to do, she’s been working full time since she was a kid so it’s totally her right to take some time off,” added the insider.

For Selena, this should be a well-deserved break, since has been working since she was 10, as an actress and later as a singer, but it has been turned into a desperate attempt to find happiness with a young man with the emotional maturity of a 4-year-old.

Her family is less than thrilled since she's already gone to rehad because of Justin

Previous reports hinted that Selena even suffered a mental breakdown because of Justin, which sent her to rehab for a short time back in February. She turned to alcohol to get over her troubles, and even to drugs, which is why her family was not pleased when they heard that she was getting back together with Bieber.

At the moment, the two are separated, after Bieber again flirted with girls in Paris and went out for a romantic dinner with Kendall Jenner, leaving Selena alone and mad on the red carpet.
