Mothers like Spears’ are enablers who neglect their children to the point of abuse. Granting your child fame and materialistic possessions doesn’t negate the lack of discipline and support that every child needs to have.

I understand that Britney Spears is an adult, and she’s made a lot of poor decisions in her life, but the lack of any system in a domestic unit results in entitled behavior if a child is raised thinking that they can get away with the same behavior in public because it’s how they were raised. I don’t know what happens behind closed doors with any of these famous people, but I don’t think that Lynn Spears was strict enough as a parent, but in the same vein, I’m under the impression that nothing was ever good enough either.

Slapping a tiara 9 year old and putting her in front of a crowd of people with a microphone is abnormal, and it doesn’t matter how much *any* of these flaky stage peddling parents tell themselves that this is their “children’s” dream. Too young is too young. Aside from not really understanding their path at a premature age, no child should ever be forced to handle fame, especially since they are too young to understand the consequences.

Guess what?

When I was 9, I wanted to be a pop star too. It’s normal and healthy for children to pretend. For whatever reason, my mother didn’t take that to heart and sign me up for 800 different pageants either.

Britney Spears doesn’t bother me, and I think she has flaws. I think she’s said and done some very stupid things within her own control, but the erradic behavior by her mid twenties was inevitable, whether it’s really a breakdown or whether she’s just priviledged.

She’s said things in a clearer state of conscience that sounded bratty, especially at the height of her career, but I think that this is different. Fame definitely got to her head at some point or another, which is why I don’t believe her breakdown was an act. This is different from the tantrum prone diva in the early 2000s, I think.

She had everything. Why would she need to pretend? Why would she attempt to lose everything she already had? It doesn’t make sense to me.

Many of her fans (who you can’t really credit, being horny men) turned on her during the breakdown. I’ve actually witnessed more people being nasty about her than being sympathetic. I’ve always known that Britney Spears could put on an excellent show (despite the bad lip synching), and her body language for a while was…off.

I think there’s a human being underneath it all. Did she kind of need to be put in her place? She did, but this is too much.

I think my turning point happened after the coverage on the 2007 VMAs. Just then for the first time I didn’t find it funny anymore. I felt sympathetic, and personally, I find it positively disgusting how quickly the public turns its back on someone. She had so many people wrapped around her finger, and all it took was for her to screw up once, and they’re all gone.

However…I also blame Madonna. Madonna’s a toxic influence on everyone and sucks the life out of them, and I think Madonna’s using her. After the VMAs incident where she kissed Madonna on stage just before she became party-animal-hooking-up-in-Vegas Britney Spears, Madonna disappeared for quite some time, and now she’s back into her life recently…why?

Britney Spears is Madonna’s personal touring prop. Every time she needs to promote a tour, it’s hurry up and grab Britney.

She and her family are being very self-serving by pandering to the crowd with hushed allegations of Britney’s sanity. It hurts and demeans the entire psychiatric community to use mental illness as a cover for Brit’s drug use and irresponsibility. As a student of psychology, their behavior disgusts me.

Brit and her family need to take responsibility for their actions in their own lives – not just when the camera is rolling.

I apologize if this annoys you.

Lastly, making more comments about your comment being in moderation will not clear it faster. The moderated comments are addressed as soon as I am able to get to them. I know that sometimes takes a long time. Lately other things are taking me aways from the computer more often than would be convenient for you and I apologize.

Moderation is important. You wouldn’t want a great many of the comments that go into moderation to post, trust me. It’s unfortunate that because of those kinds of comments some of your comments get caught up, too, but it’s the reality.

Again, please, be patient and try to understand the situation as it is.
