(Original Air Date: 02/15/07) The bad behavior of some young celebutantes is all over the news — Paris Hilton receiving jail time, and Britney Spears going to rehab. Dr. Phil's guests are spiraling out of control by emulating the celebrity life. Chelsey, 21, is a self-admitted good-time girl who loves limousines, nightclubs and tequila shots. Her obsession with partying is so bad that she's been in drug rehab three times in the past three years! Chelsey's mother, Renee, wants her out of the fast lane before she crashes and burns. Can Chelsey change her ways, or is the damage beyond repair? Then, 23-year-old Raquel thinks nothing of driving drunk, wearing sexy clothes and flirting with the boyfriends of other women. She even travels with an entourage! Raquel's sister, Angie, believes she's destroying her career by living the high life. Will Raquel sober up when Dr. Phil gives her a dose of reality? Tell us what you think!

Find out what happened on the show.

Wow!

Quote From: lfrazierrn

People never seem to amaze me. I know what it is to be young and irresponsible but I was completely aware of my irrational behavior.  Although I am still young (25) I have enough sense to know that drinking consistantly is not a sign of an effective visit to rehab.  And even if you only do drugs occasionally it is still wrong!  Please mothers!  Be like my mom and tell your kids to get a grip or get out.  I hated my mom at the time but I love her so much now.  She saved my life.  I now have a job that supports me well beyond my basic needs.  I have my own home.  And I even have my very own three year old.  No one would have ever thought at 25 I would have a life like this. I owe it to my mom.  Be tough all you mommy's, it really is for the best!

I can't tell you how wonderful I felt after reading your comment. I have 17 year old twin daughters and I am one of those tough mommies. Thank you thank you for the boost of support. Parents like your mom and I are not wrong,old fashioned or unreasonable.My daughters too have your outlook but it didn't come about without some hard struggles.It's all been worth it. Thank you again for commening and I wish you the best!

Dr. Phil's comments regarding Lindsay Lohan

This is a bit "OT" here but I'm curious nonetheless. He mentioned he knew her. I wonder if his opinion has changed now that the facts have come out about her behavior.

This may tick some off but...

Quote From: lorax41

Drunk clueless party girls are a dime a dozen.There is nothing special, creative or unique about what they do. They don't have the ability to think long term or to consider the consequences of their choices. Drinking to the point where your behavior takes a nosedive isn't a joke or simply young girls having fun. My teenage daughters understand that the guys around girls like that don't care about them at all. They are looking for an easy piece it they can get it. Girls  are so vulnerable to rape as it is  their carelessness is disturbing. Can girls afford to be so naiive and overly trusting? Also girls, whether you believe it or not you are teaching guys every day how to treat females  and what we females  want from them.  Why are so many girls unable to think things through or make smart choices? Someone enlighten me.......

I think it has a lot to do with the high number of girls growing up without a real, strong male influence in their life, namely a father. Weekend visits just cannot replace a father whose there everyday loving & raising them along with their mother.

 

Of course, there are exceptions...

I am certain that is a large contributing factor. You are so right. The stigma of being a single mother has pretty much vanished and there are many services available helping single mothers out. In the best cases the physical needs of the child are met and the mother is attentive and loving however given the staggering numbers of attention starved girls who appear not to think very well and who will go to great lengths( including degrading themselves) for attention and laugh it off as harmless fun - doesn't that speak to a much deeper need that isn't being met that we are often blind to or reluctant to admit? I agree there can be exceptions but overall something is broken in the way girls are being raised.............

Yep.  And boys as well.  Ask some (girl or boy) about a 'Phillips' or 'standard' screwdriver........ No consequences to behaviors.
