I thought this was great from Bieber. No schtick, no joke, it’s good stuff. I’ve been blogging, more recently especially, about how every single one of these child stars is fucked in the head. It’s not like one or a couple, it’s every-single-one. Even go back to Britney, there is a pattern of these kids who are thrust into superstardom being mental cases later in life. I’m going to rattle some off the top of my head of child stars who have lost their marbles- Bieber, Demi Lavato, Selena, Miley, Lohan, Amanda Bynes (holy shit remember how crazy she went?!?) and so many others all have gone down bad paths of drug/alcohol abuse.

And Bieber put it perfectly. There’s no way to prepare for what they put on your plate, the money, fame, temptations, and praise. He never learned the most basic things and had an unlimited bank account with accountability. I haven’t a clue how these kids deal with it. Cameras in their face at all times, every detail of their personal life dissected and put on blast, and lord knows how many stalkers and crazy fans they have to deal with.

So Justin went through the motions- drugs, abuse, hookers, pissing wherever he wanted, DUI, the whole 9. It’s the classic story, and we’re going to continue seeing young stars go down these roads. Probably even worse now with the invention of social media. It’s a disaster.

Hopefully Biebs can stay healthy but also hopefully he can keep putting out bangers. Don’t forget, every song he puts out is fire. I don’t know if people realize just how huge Bieber was at his peak. He was getting Michael Jackson (oh look, another child star who went nuts) comparisons.

If his marriage goes south though…pray for Biebs.
