Lindsay Lohan could learn a thing or two from Justin Bieber.

As the 28-year-old actress races to complete her court-ordered community service, the 21-year-old pop star is nearly finished with his requirements. Bieber completed most of the terms of his probation in a vandalism case filed after he threw eggs at an ex-neighbors' house, a probation report filed Monday reveals.

Bieber has completed 12 anger management sessions and has signed up to work with a South L.A. group to improve its facilities, according to the report. The "As Long as You Love Me" singer must also complete five days of community service with the group to finish his sentence in the misdemeanor case.

"His overall performance on probation has been good and he continues to display a cooperative attitude," Bieber's probation officer wrote.

Bieber caused $80,000 worth of damage to his neighbors' home in a gated community in Calabasas in January 2014. The singer has since reimbursed them more than $80,000 and moved to a new location.

The "Confident" singer did not attend Monday's hearing. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Anita Dymant scheduled another update in the case for Aug. 3.

Meanwhile, Bieber appears on the June/July cover of Seventeen. In the issue, on newsstands May 19, the singer reflects on his bad behavior, telling the magazine, "I was rebelling a little bit. I was getting cockier and cockier. I didn't have people to check me. I looked back and I was disappointed in myself."

So, what has Bieber learned in the last year? "You have to own up to the mistakes," the pop star tells the teen publication. "You have to say, 'I'm sorry if I've let you down.' I always want to be honest and let people know that those mistakes aren't who I am. Who I am is someone who really cares about people."
