<P>Justin Bieber was enlisted by Ellen DeGeneres to help give back to Whitney Elementary, a Las Vegas school that helps underprivileged children. And in addition to donating $100,000 and $100,000 worth of toys, the <a href="/news/articles/1673555/justin-bieber-believe-charity-drive.jhtml">always-charitable singer</a> performed for the room full of Beliebers. </p><div class="player-placeholder right" id="vid:702340.id:1672718" width="240" height="211"></div><p> Bieber even <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfkjI7PR0bg&feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">answered some burning questions</a> about his hair, his favorite color and his rise to fame. But, perhaps it was his response about his lady love, Selena Gomez, that had the room most giggly. "What do me and Selena do on the weekends?" he pondered to the room full of school kids. "We go to the movies. And we kiss," he whispered, later laughing, "No, we don't do that." He answered a number of other of the kids' inquiries in a rather quick-fire round. "Do I miss home? Yes, very much," he said. "Cause I'm always traveling and I'm always away from a lot of my family and friends. So, it can be hard. But, once I get to go home and see my family, it's always a pleasure." Before leaving, he had these words of wisdom for the kids: "Be nice to each other and treat each other with respect and grow up to be people of character." The <a href="http://ellen.warnerbros.com/2012/01/justin_bieber_visits_whitney_elementary_0104.php" target="_blank">episode</a> aired Wednesday and when he <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YesUywDQfjU" target="_blank">chatted</a> with the school's principal, Sherrie Gahn, he opened up about his own struggles growing up in Canada. "I'm here to bring a smile to these kids' faces. For me, I grew up and I didn't have a lot. We went to food banks to get food for me and my grandparents. Really, if I didn't have my grandparents to help me and these kids they have you to help them," he said. "And it's really special." <i>What questions do you wish Justin Bieber answered?
