What disturbs me is...

Quote From: jettav

Why not just let the kids be kids and parents start parenting and paying attention to all the kids in the home instead of playing favoritsm! If these kids really want to be a star, they can start by auditioning for school plays. musicals, whatever, nothing wrong with starting at the beginning, they can grow and mature and decide on their own what they want to with their lives, they can go to college and study and actually earn their way in this life. I would never wish  hollywood on my kids. Whatever happened to encouraging our kids to use their imaginations, playing dress up, taking piano lessons, trying out for the cheerleading team, playing in the dirt, going tot he park, hanging out with friends, pajama parties? whatever people! Let your kids enjoy their childhood, they grow up too fast as it is, why rush em? O yea, gotta be a star and make the bucks and get famous so every one can coo over your child..................................BLAHHHHHHHHHHhhh better be careful, mom and dad's , your dreams for your kids could ruin them amd then what?????
What disturbs me is that the adults are as delusional as their kids.  Everyone wants to be famous when they're like, 5.  Then you grow up and realize being famous is really hard work, your life is under a microscope 24/7, you have to work on your "talent" continuously, and no one leaves you alone.  Some of these kids are nothing more than spoiled brats who the parents dote on above the other kids.  Child stars are like kittens, they grow up and some aren't so cute when they hit puberty.  Then they're just washed up college students-go figure!

 Well sometimes people forget that a child has aspirations to and needs a parent to back them up. I wanted to be an actor forever but at thirteen I started working hard. However without my mom I wouldn't make it. There are too many crushing auditions when you work hard and don't make it. You need your parents there to support you and keep you going, most times to push you as well. Acting is just like a sport you need a coach that is sometimes willing to go past the limit to make you the best there is. Those are the only people who win CIF and those are the actors that make it on Broadway. And a lot of the time when they start without help it's to late to make it. It would suprise you how long it takes to make it, there are two ways for it to be done a lot of auditioning and time, or the more promoted way luck.
