Levine became interested in various activities when he attended a local elementary school. He played soccer, was a member of the school’s drama club, and also loved dancing.
Levine had a somewhat challenging high school life, revealing in one of his YouTube videos that the only person who believed in him was his Spanish teacher. He dropped out of high school over his YouTube content, which was termed inappropriate by the school’s authorities. In the YouTube video “Why I had to Leave My High School,” he stated that shortly after he was prohibited from filming on the school’s premises, he was summoned to the office of the principal over his channel and given two options: to either delete his channel or to leave the school. Surprisingly he chose the latter option, because he wasn’t ready to give up on his promising YouTube career. He’s revealed that most of his friends who were also involved in the shooting of his videos were suspended from the school.
