Miley Cyrus: 'I won't end up like Britney or Lindsay'

Singer Miley Cyrus vows she won't end up like Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan.

"The last thing I ever want to do is disappoint my parents," she tells May's Glamour. "My mom's dad died when she was 18, and if something ever happened to one of my parents, I'd want them to go knowing I made them proud. I think it's selfish to go out partying all the time, especially if you have little ones [in your family]. I have a 9-year-old sister, and I don't want her to go to school and have people make fun of her for it."

The peer pressure can be hard to avoid.

"At one of the very first awards shows I ever did, there was a bottle of vodka in my gift bag," she says. "No one cared that they were giving this to a 12-year-old."

Cyrus, the 16-year-old also makes no apologies for dating 20-year-old model Justin Gaston , whom she met through her father, Billy Ray Cyrus , on the Hannah Montana set.

"I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong, and I'm ready for people to accept it," she says. "My fans already accept it they just want me to be happy. And I haven't been that happy in a few years ... working so hard, moving to L.A. from Nashville, going through a bad breakup [with Nick Jonas ]. I'm finally happy again, and I think that is reflected in my music and my work."

Miley adds, "So honestly, I don't feel like there's anything to hide. And I love him so much I don't really care."

Of attacks about her body, she says, "I think it's lame, because it will eat at you forever. I've been at photo shoots where I've tried something on and said, 'Oh my gosh, why don't these fit?' But I'll never be a 6-foot-tall, 95-pound model; I'm meant to have a little more meat on my bones. One thing that bugs me is people who say, 'Miley really needs to lose some weight,' or, 'She got her boobs done.' I did start out really skinny, but you're not going to have boobs when you're 12 years old. I'm like, what are you talking about let me grow!"

Asked where she sees herself in 10 years, the teen replies, "Hopefully I'll be settled: making movies, living in a house, maybe even married. I think my mom did everything pretty close to perfect, and I want to be the cool mom that the kids run home to."

For now, she says, "I'm still learning who I am... I definitely feel like I know myself more than I ever have, but I dont feel rushed to figure myself out. I have all the time in the world to do that."

When in doubt, she can always look to Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie - two of her role models.

Of Jolie, Cyrus says, "At a premiere she was wearing a pantsuit what woman throws that on and looks smoking hot? She's also changed every couple of years, going from wild child to being a mom and having a normal life."

"And Jennifer Aniston bounced back after her divorce," Cyrus adds. "She could have gone crazy with so many different guys, but she didn't. If anything like that ever happens to me, I'm like, Pull a Jennifer, Miley! She is so classy."
