I doubt that being a child actor alone would account for being screwed up. Which seems to be a pretty negative self assessment. Might be depressed. Sorry it wasn't a personal shot but more of a suggestion of a possible cause. Dealing with health issues is always tough. Most people I know who seem to be able to cope belong to a support group and use several elements to recover their life. Counseling, medication, faith, and cleaning up their diet and overall health maintenace. |

You miss the attention, the roar of the applause, the intimacy with your co-stars, the lights, the smell of the stage.
I still love performing, drummed with an African Dance group in Denver for 8 yrs. Even when we did the gigs for free it was still fun. Now I drum with Belly Dancers!!! We did a performance just this past Fri. night. BIG FUN |

Possible, people think its just child stars i think it has to do with how you were raised. Some people never got attention growing up, and never felt love unless they were were abover par. So that begins a cycle of putting yourself as the center of attention and as you get older it gets hard to maintain.
Maybe that just my story but im a writer, a vocalist for rock and rap, im trying stand up. Im constantly looking for a rush, i cant hold a job because when i work it becomes me and i cant shut myself off at night. I never feel good enough. For some reason i feel like my teenage years b4 18 was the best my life will get. I see alot of people who never just settled into a normal life. That continuesly aspire and get knocked down. Theres alot of people that have the same issues as child stars and never were a child star. So i guess what im saying is maybe thats why, but maybe its a little more then that. (maybe i just over thought this completely) |
