It's dangerous to be a child star, but it's dangerous to be a child in the ghetto, or to be a child at school being bullied.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People don't understand being a child star is very hard because first off, to be a child star, you have to be very unique. These kids are talented to be able to do it at such a young age. At the same time, you go through the pressures of bullying and a lot of people not understanding.
Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star.
I don't want to be a 'teen star' because so many people don't ever grow out of that.
Being a celebrity can be dangerous. Nobody says 'no.'
Being an ex-child star is not a given.
The kids today all seem to think they should be stars, but I wasn't brought up that way.
Remember, I'm the kind of kid who used to get stuffed into a locker by school bullies. I've never felt like I'm a big star at any level of my life.
All these child stars grow up and they're knockin' over banks and getting prostitutes. I'm, like, one of the only people I know that has managed to dodge all of that negative crap.
Being a child star is great. It's being a former child star that sucks.
The idea of being a 'child star' always sounded awful to people my age, and so I was just very aware that these things are kind of fleeting and that a lot of it didn't have to do with me: it had to do with my age; it had to do with whatever came to mind when people thought of a young internet sensation.
