What event caused a tailbone injury to the American actress Jennifer Lawrence while she was growing up?

Jennifer Lawrence (born 1990) revealed that she did not enjoy her childhood due to her hyperactivity and social anxiety, considering herself a misfit among her peers. She also has disclosed that her anxieties vanished when she performed on stage and that acting gave her a sense of accomplishment.

In her early childhood, school activities included cheerleading, softball, field hockey, and basketball. She played on a boys’ team that was coached by her father. Lawrence was also fond of horseback riding and frequently visited a local horse farm. She has an injured tailbone as a result of being thrown from a horse.

She dropped out of school at age 14 without receiving a General Educational Development (GED) or a diploma. She has described herself s “self-educated” and said that her career was her priority.

In spite of this injury, Lawrence has had a stellar acting career since 2006. She won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ (2012). She played the role of a young widow with an unnamed mental disorder in this romance film.

She has since starred in the science-fiction romance ‘Passengers’ (2016), the psychological horror film ‘mother!’ (2017), the spy thriller ‘Red Sparrow’ (2018), and the satirical comedy ‘Don’t Look Up’ (2021).

Lawrence has said she finds acting “stupid” in comparison to life-saving professions like doctors, and therefore does not believe in being “cocky” about her accomplishments.
