    I’m pretty sure everyone with a “Normal” childhood would rather have 6 million to their name when they turned 17 tbh.

      Grass is always greener on the other side. Although the side with 6 million is pretty damn nice. Imagine not wanting that.

        Every young celebrity out there saying “the desert on the other side is greener”

        People literally get bullied in real life and then still end up broke at 18. I’m not going to be a weirdo that pushs for it, but if a contract falls into my kids lap, she’s going to be in every movie lol.

    Sounds good that she’s questioning it but I think she’s forgetting the precarious situation a lot of us are in.

    Her net worth could save thousands of people who are going to die in the side effects of poverty in the coming year.

    I think everyone feels a little lost after doing something for 8 years. It’s a routine and then one day it ends. I imagine it’s even harder when you’re 12 and that thing has been your whole life.

    I’m glad that it sounds like she is well adjusted. I hope we hear more about child stars that had her experience. So often we hear the horror side, a side that is hopefully on the decline and gone.

    I don’t expect child acting to go away anytime soon. I think for some it is likely a benefit. But it’s clear that a safe environment and attentive parents are a requirement.

      But it’s parents trying to get their kids into acting to begin with, and I think that attention seeking mindset is rarely found in parents who give a shit about their kids.
