Jessica Alba hated growing up as a teenager, because she was too mature for her age. The 26-year-old beauty struggled as a young actress, and insists she would love to erase the bad memories of her childhood.
Alba says, "I would omit my teens (if I could). They were really tough. I was always a grown-up in a child's body, in my mind - incredibly opinionated, stubborn, strong-willed, very independent. I'm on videotape when I was three talking about being an independent woman! Then when I was a teenager it was a little bit paralyzing because I felt I was an adult but I didn't have any right as an adult."
