“Some kids greet each other with hugs and just give me a ‘hi,’” she explains in the “Clean and Clear” ad.

“The real me is happy and proud to be who I am and I’m just having fun being one of the girls,” she adds.

Jennings, who is also an author at her tender age, will also be documenting her life in her own TLC doc-series, “All That Jazz.”
