Question: Some people become famous at very young age. Do you think it is a positive or negative development? Everyone (everyone?!) is in the rat race to become famous, be it youngsters or adults. While becoming famous at a young age has a few pros, I believe it is an overall negative development. Admittedly, getting famous at a young age brings name and fame with it. This makes children self-sufficient, meaning they are not dependent for money on anyone; for example, they can themselves pay their school fees. Besides this, they become confident from a very young age as they face the media and other people. Nevertheless, despite the few advantages mentioned above, being famous from childhood has many disadvantages. Firstly, when children become famous, they have money, which means they will probably become the chief bread earner in the family. As a result, some pushy parents may exploit them and pressurize them to earn more, even at the cost of their schooling. Secondly, children can get accustomed to stardom, and face withdrawal symptoms once the stardom is over. Studies have shown that there are very few star kids who undergo a smooth transition to adult stars, whereas others face depression and anxiety. Furthermore, famous children often have a lonely childhood. Due to their stardom, they can't enjoy their childhood and can't make many friends. The other children sometimes become jealous of the young star’s success and money. Finally, to overcome the depression and anxiety caused from loneliness, child stars often get addicted to drugs. To conclude, in my opinion stardom at a young age has an overall negative impact on the physical and mental well-being of a child star.
