Throughout the years, Biles has gone through a lot of difficulties and struggles. One of them was causing problems for her family due to her changing behavior.

Describing this, she wrote, “My family was becoming used to these temper tantrums. Ever since failing to make the national team, I’d been in a funky mood.
