Hannah Montanna has joined the ranks of Disney DONTS

I agree with most of what you said. Teenagers want to seem older than they are. I'm 19 and my mother is always telling me that I still act like a fourteen year old not immature or anything like that. But the way I act when I'm around people and the way I dress. And my younger sister who is only thirteen already wants to act like she's 19. So it's crazy that teenagers want to act older when they probably can't even take it, they really don't know what it means to be older and all the problems that older people have.

I think your response is right on the nail. I feel like she deserves what ever comes of this. We have seen this scenario play out so many times. Just like Jamie Lynn Spears. Did she honestly think Disney was going to stand behind her. Thanks for responding. I am glad that I am not the only one who feels this way. dl

I don't think it's okay for teens to look more grown-up than they are and they need to find other ways to show they are responsible so they are taken seriously. The problem - just look at the media. Look at tv and movies, ads etc. The message is that if you look older, you will get more freedom, you will get attention, you will get what you want!

I also agree that parents are the first defense here. I have all sorts of problems with a parent who lets their 11 or 12 year old daughter out, dressed as if they are 16, 18, 21, and it's even worse if they don't care how and who these girls talk to out and about, online, etc. I do think that the privelages need to grow with maturity, not just age, and either way the older the teen gets, the more freedom, but I feel it's completely appropriate for a 17 or 18 year old to well, decide what she wants to wear including makeup, tattoos, etc - as long as the parents are no longer footing the entire (or any of) bill for these things.

I can't answer for Miley's dad, they've both been part of show business for years. I'm surprised that he doesn't seem to have a problem with it, but some celebrity parents are very laid back about everything. I guess we can't know exactly what is going on, we aren't living their lives.

Oh! And the problem with teenagers is that they seem to believe that being an adult is easy. According to them, we get all of the benefits and fun and freedom and there are no drawbacks to being an adult. Well, let me burst the bubble. There are many many things that we have to do that are not fun, that are not even enjoyable, that we do in order to keep life running smoothly. Things like... work, pay bills, run errands, clean. Sure we basically can come and go when and how we wish, but we still impose our own restrictions on ourselves in order to accomplish the things we need to get done. The difference is that a teen might not do it unless they are harrassed and reminded - and then they get an attitude and still don't know WHY something may need to be done. We just do it because we know it's necessary and we know the consequences if we don't. They need to realize that if they want the benefits and the fun, there are tons of responsibility which comes along as a result, and they need to be ready for that as well as the fun, or they are not ready for the fun.

You are so right about that. These days these kids think were idiots. I have a teenager. All of a sudden she's become all knowing. The sad part of it is that kids today think that if you're not showing skin, youre not sexy. I think this may cost that child her show. I hope not. Well have to wait and see. dl

Yeah and they need to have good role models that show them that you don't have to show sking to be sexy like America Ferrera who plays Betty in Ugly Betty. There are a few others that don't dress showing skin and are still considered to be sexy and beautiful.

I agree with you that people are making it more of a bigger deal than it is. However, I think that even if she didnt know herself, the people around her new. Her father has been in show business for years. THis is where parental advice and guardianship comes in. They have no one else to blame for any negative publicity but themselves. Its a dog eat dog world and they're definitely wearing milk bone undies. lol dl

I dont think they're as bad as they could have been. I do think she and her team should have used better judgement. I hope for the children sakes, she gets this squared away. I know so many young girls that look up to her. I think if she had come out a said that she was just trying to look older and sexy and it went too far, it wouldnt have taken on such a life of its own. She initially loved the photos. Thats what people couldnt believe. I hope it all works out and someone learns a lesson from all this. Thanks for responding. dl

Great response! In the situation with the Spears sisters, it doesnt look good as far as their breeding goes. The parents have a big role in their daughters lives. I have seen where the parents, aunts, etc. have been more concerned with their appearance than the care of the girls. This raises a good question, is this the price of fame? or Is fame really worth your morality? I think that is more important than the meaning of life. Thanks for responding. dl

yes this is the cost at which fame comes..
as in the case of britney her life could have been saved from ruining before but the media just made it impossible for her as i liked britney i felt very bad by the things that happened in her life what do you think?

You are correct regarding your thoughts. However, the only interest the photographer worries about is his. He wants her to look sexy. Most of his clients want to be made to look sexy. As long as he got paid, he could care less what people thought of her or her career.
