Back-to-School Shopping With Alana Thompson AKA Honey Boo Boo

Alana Thompson, formerly known as Honey Boo Boo, is going back-to-school shopping with Inside Edition. Now 16 years old, she's a junior in high school and is shopping at her favorite store, rue21. Her first pick was a pink T-shirt and trendy jeans. Another hit outfit was a plaid overall dress. When she was done shopping, Alana and sister Pumpkin posed for photos with fans. But when she sat down with Inside Edition, she revealed it hasn't been all smiles in recent years.
