The 16 year-old admitted to refusing to get into his mother's car when he failed his test as he preferred to walk home in a strop.
The Canadian singer wrote in his book, First Step 2 Forever: 'There was no way I was getting in the passenger seat, bawling like a 10 year-old.
'She [my mum] kept calling me as I walked to the corner of the parking lot and stood by the street. I felt every car driving by was taunting me.
'Some girl drove by, putting on mascara as she weaved down the boulevard - but she sure had a driver's licence, didn't she?
'Some dude cruised by in a truck, smoking a cigarette, which he tossed on the street like the world was his ashtray. I bellowed after him, 'I hate you!' It felt so good. I bellowed at the next guy, 'I hate you too! And I hate you! And I hate you!''
