I am sure if anyone else was going through what Britney Spears is going through right now, they would want their privacy and to be left alone. I am tired of hearing her name for several reasons, the main on being that she is a human being just like every body else.
I you thought she was perfect and above all of this, maybe you are the one who needs to be evaluated. Why is it that when celebrities are in crisis we blow it way out of proportion. It is sickening. Every where I go someone is talking about her or her picture is up, or worse yet, people are making jokes.
There is nothing funny about what is happening to her. This could be either one of us or our relatives and we would want curtesy, sensitivity, and most of all privacy. Don't tell me because she is a celebrity it comes with the territory, because it doesn't have to be that way.
I am not a fan of Britney and I am not sure what all happened with her husband and her boys, all I know is that she deserves the same respect as any other human being.

britney spears chose to become a musician and did everything she could to become as famous as possible. in my opinion, she has to take the good with the bad. you say dont tell me because she is a celebrity it has to be that way, but, the truth is, that it doesnt have to be that way but why shouldnt it. evaryone else has to accept consequences for their actions, so why shouldnt someone who was a rolemodel to millions of little girls around the world deserve to be publicly embarassed for her stupid choices. if only to show girls what not to do.

im not saying she deserves to be punished. what i am saying is that she makes bad choices and she chose to put herself out as a musician and become famous. why wouldnt the people who liked her music or personality want to see her for the person that she really is, and why shouldnt they be able to. if you really feel bad for her then dont pay attention to the news or the tabloids. other than that just realize that she is doing all of this stuff to herself its not the photographers who are putting her in these situations. same for all of the other paris hiltons. its just free publicity for them.

I do not believe that she is being punished for stupid choices or even that she deserves to be. This is not even about the choices that she made. This is about getting her help for a very serious mental illness.
No one deserves to be "punished" for having an illness. I am sure that she did the best that she could with her children and that is all that one can ask of anyone.

I agree with your comment more than most I read about her. I fear too many people want to feel sorry for her because they know they would have made many of the same choices. Why they cannot accept that certain lifestyle choices lead to bad consequences, I do not understand. The youth of America should be looking at the Britneys, Lindsay Lohans and Olsen Twins of the world and saying, "Gee, maybe I should live a better life than that!" There seems to be a general reluctance to learn from the experiences of others.
I can see how bad it is for media to use people to sell magazines, but the "stars" chose the attention and the public buys it. There are plenty of "monsters" at fault here, but don't lump in those of us pointing out to our children (and any others we can reach) that this is unacceptable behavior.

I feel the same way you do. Leave that poor girl alone. Sure she has made some mistakes, but haven't we all. Things might be alot better for her if people would just leave her alone. I am so tired of hearing about her and a few other celeberties. it is sickening. I have better things to do with my time and life then to hear about Britney. Like you said "she is a human being", and deserves some privavcy.

We as a society come down way too hard on our public figures. Instead of building them up, we kick them when they are down. We make horrible jokes and poke fun at their every day normal activity. Then when something does happen, we blame it on their lifestyle.
Never mind the fact that we are the ones who pushed them over the edge. I mean I could'nt imagine going through the things that she is and having people say to the world that she was an unfit mother and whatever else they are saying about her.
I am sure she is thinking about how all of this will affect her boys when they get older, but the media is not thinking about that. The same way they kept hounding Princess Diana and we see what happened to her.

I agree Rozie. I feel sorry for her to have to go through all that publicity - why can't they just leave her alone, to do what she has to do privately. I don't understand at times why the media has to get deeply involved with her personal life - I'm sure it has a major affect on it right now.
I actually flipped to the E-channell last night and it was all about Britney and turned it to another one because I am tired of hearing about her issues. They should leave her alone so she can deal with it privately, with the help of her doctors and family only.

The media is only making things worse. They don't cut about her. All they care about is being the first to get the best pictures, story, and all the drama that goes with it. I took Journalisnm for a semester in college.
They are simply high paid low life. Who else would stoop so low to get a story. I mean, for them nothing is off limits. The sad part about it is that the fans do the most damage. You would have to be a fan to want to know that much about one person. They are the ones demanding more. They feel like they have a right to know.

I agree with you. Besides, they are not a help to Britney anyway. I suggest they leave her alone because that will definitely a big help.

AMEN! I totally agree. My husband and I were just takling about this last night. She is having so many problems and need help. But all the media wants is the next BIG story. They should just but out and leave her be. Maybe if she was left alone she could get her life straitened out. She needs to get help and be a good mother for her children.

You are so right. How can a person not be affected by all masses following her. I know her boyfriend is head of a celeberty magazine and I think she is posing for some of the photos. There is a time to leave her alone. Poor girl has lots of probles so leave her be and let her get the help she needs.

Hi Rozie, i do agree with you. She must be living horribly with these crazy people around. Don't they have anything else worth to do? It's true that she made some mistakes but who is perfect? I'm so irritated with these papparazzis' nonsense news about her, i hope these would all stop, she does deserve some privacy like any human being. We all make mistakes, i just wish they would all leave her alone...Give her a life.I am praying for her now...

Hi Rozie37! I do understand what you are trying to say. I do agree with you that she deserves to be left alone but being a celebrity, there are a lot of people who would take advantage to write news about her because she sells. And there are who makes fun and joke about it. Really cruel because if it happens to anyone of us or our families, we will surely be devastated and will ask why are people so unkind? I just hope we will be a little more sensitive and kinder to our fellowmen whatever circumstance they are in so that we will reap the same kindness that we have sowed. Just my thoughts. Take care and have a nice day! :)

Brittney's demise has been caused in part by the public. We place expectations on her, and she wants to please the public. She was young when thrust into the spotlight, and has had noone show her how to handle fame, not even her parents. She needs to let go of her career and concerntrate on getting herself well again.

If she could find a way of being with her kids and out of the spotlight, then she would get better. Our house is rather squished now, but I do think the enviornment we have here would benefit her greatly.

yes i agree with you, it doesnt have to & shouldnt be this way. but sadly it is. we can scream, jump up & down til we are blue in the face, but it will still happen. the poeple who are chasing her are only seeing(& caring about) the $$ signs. and there will always be magazines who will buy that crap because there are alays people who want to read about it..

I completely agree with you even though britney spears is a celeb that is known all around the world she is also a regular person(in her world and family because they probley don't see her as a celeb or anything...like her sons they dont see mommy as a celeb)I dont think if i were going through that and were losing my wife and kids that I would want people always in my face taking pictures and watching everything that I do...I mean she has made mistakes but then again havent we all because no one is perfect!

I think that people should just leave britney alone cause I think that what she does is none of anybodys business and if maybe people didn't bother her she might not go out and do stupid things.

I've heard a theory that she's acting crazy just to get the attention. She craves it! If she acted normal no one would even pay attention to her any more. I do think it's sad she can't just be a mom and deal with her crap on her own.

I agree with all the comments. On one hand she has made some pretty stupid mistakes, so I do feel that she should be held responsible for them. Yes, the public and paparazzi takes advantage and shows a lot of the bad things she has done. But I have seen celebrities shown for their good sides too. I feel that in every decision that you make you have to be aware of your consciequences. If you go out drinking make sure that you won't drive etc. And when you do something wrong it was your choice. I feel for her because I know that everyone goes through hard moments but I feel that at this point people had to step in because she wasn't taking care of herself. When your decisions are involving others, especially children, they have a right to step in. And about the tv and news, not only celebrities get attention for their wrong choices. I agree that people need privacy, but it is part of life. I have seen family members exposed as well.
