Miley Cyrus still making mistakes
Categories: Teens & tweens, Celeb kids, Celeb parenting, Rumors
The grocery store where I shop has a 'family friendly' checkout line. Instead of the usual racks of magazines and candy, this line has no magazines whatsoever. The candy is still there, but that's okay. I would rather explain to my seven-year-old why she can't have Snickers for dinner than why Britney's kids are crying for mommy. Or how Jamie Lynn Spears is unsure who her baby's daddy is. Or why Miley Cyrus is lounging half-naked on some guy.The fifteen-year-old pop sensation has likely earned herself a spot on at least some of the tabloid magazine covers next week thanks to some rather revealing photos. The photos show someone who looks exactly like Miley giving the camera a peek-a-boo shot of her bright green bra and a come hither look as she poses intimately with an unnamed boy.
It is unclear where the photos came from or if it really is Cyrus in the photos (I think it is). But maybe it is time for daddy Billy Ray to stop being his daughter's friend and lay down some rules. Rule number one: remained fully dressed and covered when in the company of persons of the opposite sex. And no pictures!

Give the kid a break. She is, after all, just a kid. A 15-year old is required, by the laws of the universe, to make mistakes. And to make them with members of the opposite sex (some mistakes are more egregious than others....intimately posed photos are darnright innocent compared to what some folks manage by the age of 15). Who's to say that her parents have not already doled out suitable corrective action for whatever crime that photo appears to have captured. And if they haven't, then surely all of the media world most certainly will.
I just don't get the idea that "stars" are supposed to be somehow better than the rest of the world at everything. She's an actress and a singer, not a saint, nor should we expect her to be. If she happens to be, in real life, a good person and role model, great. If not, then why not try sticking to watching her TV show and listening to her music and enjoying her actual talents, instead of following her real life as if she were a reality show and judging the quality of her humanity?

Yeah, I agree, give the kid a break and just because she's doing this stuff in private (looks like a private photo to me that got into the wrong hands) doesn't mean her parents aren't trying. There are so many kids out in the world today getting drugs, alchohol and pregnant that it's hard to tell someone who is a star, has a public image to uphold AND a family that they are bad parents. For all we know he could have a tight hold on her when she's around him but then once she's in private she's another person. Please tell me that you did this as a child, because you did and if you say you didn't you're lying. We all lied to our parents, went places other than where we said we were going, made out with our boyfriends and let them get a feelup in the backseat of a car or in a movie theater. She's a kid, she's just like we were when we were her age, leave her be. One day she'll grow up, realize her dad and moms advice was right and change her ways, but for now let her grow up, she still has lots of time for that.
