Sorry about the forum spam, but i really want to open a discussion on child stars. We all know that some child stars went crazy and others didn't. I have always looked up to Amanda Bynes and the Olsen twins when i was a kid. I was really sad when I first saw Amanda's twitter, but I know that she's just another human being who isn't happy with her life. I think the case with Bynes is probably different than other cases with stars like Lindsay Lohan. Disney has really screwed a lot of child stars over. They were basically their pawns. Disney always want to make sure that no one makes a mistake.
Any thoughts? Who are your favorite child stars? Who is your favorite star who has turned into a respectable adult? If none, why? what happened to them?
i think its unfair to pressure children into doing things like acting, we all know you think your kid is special but they are a kid after all. a few commercials - ok, whatever. even a few parts on television.. but an actual full on role requiring months to years of your life? meh, they may not need to work when they're younger but thats besides the point, people have to grow. so far, the ginger girl from harry potter seems to be fine but she never had a soul so its expected
Full house isn't real without the Olsen and new full house show is horrible lmao. Do you guys know Shia from Even Stevens? He was hosting an event for his art project called #Iamsorry because of what he did and it allows people to enter the room anytime while he sits there with a paper bag over his head for like 2 days or something. Some woman wiped his legs for 10 minutes and r4ped him afterwards lmao...dude is screwed up
I feel like being unable to live your childhood as a child is what messes you up, not being a celebrity, although the peer pressure and access to drugs/alcohol/weird sex would probably not help either.. basically anyone who had to give up being a kid whether it was due to bad parents, unfortunate situations, ends up being weird unless they're strong OR therapy
