U B da Mench!
I have no opinion either way actually. I just hope he can work out his issues before he harms someone else.
FWIW I read elsewhere that the most of the reports about what happened in FL were way OTT, and that the two “racing” cars were actually going below the speed limit. I figure in both cases it’s for the courts to sort out.
But credit is due. He and whoever handled his brand did it rather well and he does have a pretty large following, doesn't matter the age or relevance, the money is rolling in so it works. The problems are obvious; he was without proper guidance are the critical times in his life. Now, hes a single, 19 year-old male turned loose with millions of dollars at his disposal... what would anyone expect? I can't even begin to imagine the trail of debauchery I would have left in my wake at 19 with a bottomless wallet.
He'll grow up in 6-8 more years and hopefully someone gets a leash on him soon so he's not penniless by that time.
Ramble?
No
Parents are let off the hook. The kid, if anyone cares to get informed, has been sheltered from life since age 12, because of his talent. He’s been used and mow has no life skills, no idea who is a friend, including family, nor what to do with his life
I appreciate any reasoned input
It seems the kid tried when he was starting out. Remember the religious movie he made and how he told eveybody how he wasn’t ashamed to be seen praying? I think his mother raised him right- but so many making fun of him (jealousy over how the young girls love him) the rapper trash moving in on him-as well as other hangers-on...he was just too young and inexperienced to handle the fame money and craziness. JMHO.
What? "The Further Adventures of Cujo" or "Grendel's Mother-in-law"
He will have to move now to Panama.
This kid is in real danger, he needs prayers.
He’s totally out of control... something just ain’t right.
Punk’s a thug. Send him home.
God help this young boy. Send him guidance before it’s too late.
All those celebrities that “need” my prayers. I can’t keep up. I need to run to the supermarket right away to buy the latest issues of PEOPLE, IN TOUCH, OK! and US magazines to know everybody to pray for.
He’s on some high octane steroids so it’s said. Certainly acts like it.
He’ll give you such a pinch.
He has never been taught to be a man, and so he acts out.
Technically, you are correct. He is a grown man and considered an adult. That being said, I'm 46 years old and if I did something like this, my mom would probably make the 200 mile drive down here to smack me up side the head in person. I'm still scared of her and I have a grandson.
You're a parent until you draw your last breath. It's just unfortunate for Bieber that he doesn't have one who cares.
People think raising a kid is done when the kid is 12??
And then turn him over to Hollywood tutors and rappers and then blame him for not making a good decision??
People hate teens I hear it everyday. Not from my friends whom I choose wisely
When family takes no interest in a kid especially when he’s making money he doesn’t care about. The kid gets lost
No kid should be w/o parental guidance and kept on the path of a kid till he’s 17 at least. Parents should be available, NOT intrusive till age 65
From 17 to 27 a kid wants to make his mistakes on his own. Fine. To allow it to happen before is negligent. From 12 to 17 mistakes are talked about but most definitely allowed. Parent is available for counsel daily
From 27 to 58 a parent is so helpful. Aunts have a place, uncles are wonderful. Cousins will be brutally honest siblings. I don’t know maybe at age 55 they’re helpful. Not before. Older virile siblings can be saviors at a young age
This family is a mess this kids been on his own in a money world from age 12.
He needs to be kept from hurting anyone. But to hate him and be happy he’s in trouble is sick and looks like money envy
I saw some widely seen biopic (sorry can’t remember which station) that showed interviews with his mom and usher.
The mom seemed to be saying good things about wanting him to keep good values.
I haven’t followed the story since but I wondered what disconnected happened with his mom there — and why you say she is greedy (I don’t doubt you I just wonder why you say that). Wonder what she is thinking.
To me the most interesting aspect of the story is wondering why people have such extreme bad wishes for him. I don’t get that.
Also in the mix of what’s going on in Bieber’s life is the fact that he is at the age when his neurons are getting “pruned” into new pathways and some neurons are dying off. Neurologically, a young man of 19 is not in the best position, and that’s before you add fame and drugs. This process will be over in a couple of years. I hope he will be in a position to re-group and move on.
I don’t know about his talent level, but it does look to me like he cares about music, and is not just doing it for the paycheck.
The Lord looks after fools, drunks and children. Surely He can take care of Mr. Bieber.
