Not that I have any pity for them, but in a sense it's gotta be tough to be a child star. Right off the bat you're rich and famous. Where's your ambition and motivation at that point? You've got no place to go but down. And talk about hanging out with the wrong crowd - some of these rich kids are the most self-defeating groups of people you'll ever meet. Drew Barrymore as a teenager has tons of cash to blow and nothing real important that she needs to get done, so she parties her butt off and does a few crazy things. She's rebounded nicely and made a great career for herself. Hats off.
