Honestly, can you think of a single mentally balanced and normal child star? I can't imagine all child stars have terrible parents.

Well said I want to say something to that effect but didn't have the words. I think Hollywood or fame in general messes with most people child or adult.

Fame and all that it includes for most is a small window in their lives very few can have it through out their whole lives. So when said fame is gone it is difficult for them to move on with real life.

I am sure many of us on here would struggle as well.

I always kind of feel like celebrates made a pack with the devil, like give fame and royalty on earth and I am yours in the after life but it always seems like the fame and reality ends up giving them a tortured life here as well.

In the end I always say it ain't bad being just normal, I don't think I ever want a celebrate lifestyle and all the pitfalls that go with that. Well maybe for a day. =)
