Here is little Britney Spears in a school pic around the time of her stint on The New Mickey Mouse Club in 1993. Britney grew up in Kentwood, Louisiana, but attended the nearby Park Lane Academy in Mississippi. At school, she had friends, but she thought everyone was too cliquey. When Britney was 10, she was also a contestant on Star Search. But she lost to 12-year-old Marty Thomas… er, “Marty, WHO?” Now, Spears is on top of the pop charts and even dishing out advice and praise to wanna-be Britneys!
