Subject: MY SON IS IN THE BUSINESS & WITH ANYTHING...YOU HAVE TO WORRY (CLICK IN) Author: Anonymous [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:16:28 07/04/04 Sun In reply to: 's message, "For those of you and us, who would love to get more into the modeling aspects, do you worry about the negative aspects of the industry? For all the guidance and prayer you can give, sometimes the stress just seems to overwhelm a child star doesn't it? I mean, I heard on the NEWS now that Mary Kate Olsen is now in drug rehab. So sad isn't it? So few child stars actually seem to make it big without hitting a horrible road at one time or another. Except for the select few of course. What is everyone else's view on this?" on 20:52:19 06/29/04 Tue UNFORTUNATELY...SOCIETY TODAY PUTS "HIGH CLASS" AND "A-LIST" CELEBS/ATHLETES ON PEDESTALS. IT'S SAD, BUT THERE IS PRESSURE PUT ON PEOPLE. THAT IS NOT TO SAY THAT THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IS TO BLAME, BUT IT HAPPENS IN SPORTS, AS WELL. MANY ATHELETES ABUSE DRUGS/ALCOHOL OR HAVE BEEN CAUGHT WITH PROSTITUTES. CHILDREN WILL BE EXPOSED TO NEGATIVE PEER PRESSURE WHEREVER THEY ARE AT (YES, EVEN SCHOOL AND HOME). HAVE YOU PARENTS EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE NEGATIVE PEER PRESSURE TO SEND TO YOUR CHILD? "A B ON YOUR REPORT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH-DO BETTER NEXT TIME OR YOUR GROUNDED!" WHAT ABOUT THE PRESSURES THAT PARENTS PUT ON THEIR CHILDREN TO PARTICIPATE IN SCHOOL ACTIVITIES BECAUSE THEY PARTICIPATED? I DO UNDERSTAND THAT THE DRUGS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IS NO SECRET-IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS! BUT, THEN AGAIN-AREN'T THEY THE ONES YOU SEE ON MAGAZINE COVERS AND IN ARTICLES THE MOST, TOO?
