He said he should know better than to react in anger, thus 17-year-old, Justin Bieber has done the most manly thing, not very common to a teen like him. The popular Canadian teen sensation has issued an apology for giving a mid-finger salute to a paparazzi buzzing him and his girlfriend while leaving an Italian restaurant Tuesday evening.

The teen pop sensation has reached out to his fans through his Twitter Wednesday morning and has sought for understanding over the incident. The mid-'Bieber-finger' salute was propelled by a hounding photographer after he and girlfriend, Disney starlet, Selena Gomez celebrated his 17th birthday at a Los Angeles restaurant.

Reuters described the Never Say Never hitmaker as grim, as he allowed himself to a moment of weakness when he showed his anger by giving the photographer a ‘mid-finger salute.

“I’m sorry,” he was quoted as tweeting Wednesday by the Associated Press. “It’s not always easy but I know better than to react in anger.”

The teen singer explained to millions of his tween followers on the social networking site that his life has its ‘ups and downs’, adding that he is bound to make like everyone else. Reuters noted that Bieber vowed, however, to pick up from these misdeeds and keep trying in doing the right thing.
