5SOS 'NEEDED COUNSELLING' OVER ONLINE ABUSE 

5SOS\'s Michael Clifford has opened up about how he went to counselling due to the abuse and harsh criticism the band received online.

​It goes without saying that trolling people online is not, and will never be, acceptable, but social media abuse goes to a whole different level of ridiculous when trolls specifically target individuals for no apparent reason.

And despite 5 Seconds of Summer smashing it with their new album \'Sounds Good Feels Good\' and generally being great human beings, Mikey has revealed he had counselling over the hate he has received. THIS IS NOT COOL GUYS.

Speaking to The Daily Star, he said: "Yeah we\'ve had counselling, we talk to people all the time.​ But I\'ve found chatting to my parents is the best thing for me because I\'m so close to them.​

​"You find your own ways to deal with it. When we started we were just four kids from the middle of butt f**k nowhere in Sydney.

"We didn\'t realise that there were so many people in the world with so much negative stuff to say. If enough people tell you you\'re just another generic manufactured band who will be gone in six months you start believing it. It\'s impossible not to start doubting yourself, but bitch we are still here!"

YAAAS Mikey please never go away forever and ever, amen.
