Writing Feedback / Life of a child star-rewards and problems [3]
Life as a child star has been a dream of many people because being a child star,you can enjoy a number of rewards coming from fame such as money,respect from people,successful career,etc.Life of a child star,however,is more difficult than many people can imagine.Fame brings to a child star more troubles than rewards,in other words,troubles are more likely to be dominant in the life of most child stars.
I have a few thoughts on this subject:
I think many people dream of their child being a star (I would say this) and most children just want an ordinary life. This makes me think of Toddlers and Tiaras (tv show) because all of the moms insist "my daughter wants this competition" and it seems that the parent wants the attention even more. It seems this lifestyle can put much pressure on a child, leading to some dysfunction- what if her self-esteem is solely based on this on-stage attention, and if she fails at something- will that ruin her self-worth?
But, some child stars become very successful and seemingly well-rounded individuals. Being a star can give a child the confidence to realize they can achieve anything in life. If they are a star, we will assume they have a lot of money, so they may live a very privileged lifestyle. This child may receive the finest education and care. This child may also be lonely, because if they are so busy working on stardom, they will not have time to play with other kids or do other entertaining things that kids like.
Good luck with this essay, be sure to write objectively.
