Tough Times - Britney

I relate to Britney in a lot of ways. Everyone makes mistakes. With Kevin, I could see the only reason she was with him was because he treated her like crap, while everyone else always bowed down to her -- he was the baddddd boy. She needed a reason to be in need...when you have everything all your life, you have no reason to need or want anything, but we as humans sort of need to need sometimes...and I think everyone at some point needs to hit rock bottom in order to appreciate all there is in this world. It's kind of like a way of going through all the choices or the spectrum of life to make sure there's nothing left out there to choose from, because you are afraid of going on a path that you will one day regret. If you never get to the point of need, you will always feel like something is missing. So some of us souls have to create a situation where we are in need or want.
I feel her pain she's going through, but it is a life/soul lesson and I think she will make it through. She has to not let fame get to her head. She came on the AMA awards (I think that's the right one, about a month ago?) and got the great applause for just dumping Kevin, I think that gave her false confidence or false self esteem for a moment and may have contributed to her partying. I coudl be way wrong on that, but that was my psychic impression when I saw her face light up again. Maybe she had been a bit worried about how people would accept her, or had not heard that applause in a while. She's hurting now and I would not want to be in her shoes, but she does have to take control of her life or things will only get worse.

Hey, she made her bed so let her sleep in. I mean to me she's a role models for a lot of teenage girls unfortunately, and the image she is setting for herself is quite sad. I mean everyone told her Kevin was a loser from day, and it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out, so obviously she went against everyone's judgment of him, and now she's crying out her eyes because she didn't listen. I think she needs to take some time out and readjust her priorities, especially now that she's a mom. I mean if she's trying to be like Madonna, she's doing a great job of it.

I feel for Britney as well. I don't think that she is bad like the media have sometimes portrayed her to be. I don't know if she has really been the best role model in some ways, but she is a human being and should be treated with the respect that all others are afforded! ^_^

She should be treated with the respect that she has earned. And how much has she earned? ZERO!!!

I allways like Britney,not for her life,but for her voice,for her songs...I think that I don't have right to judge her.I want to believe that she is happy now:she is mother,she love and is loved...maybe she feels better with her life.
I wish you luck!Have a nice day;)

great post...I also feel for her...No matter how "big" she may appear in the media..she's a person..It must be hard having every mistake you make magnified and talked about all over the media...
I have a feeling all of this will make her stronger and better in the end...
We all screw up, make bad choices, do things we later wish we hadn't..
We have the luxury however to do this in private and I can't imagine how tough it would be otherwise...
Anyway, I think you are right on in your observations...And I wish the best for her...

I can relate to Britney in a way too. Britney has been working, touring, training, and in the lime light since her early childhood.
When she was a teenager, she had an album that was sweeping the country, and didn't really have time to have fun the way normal teens do.
I think that Briteny is catching up a little bit and there's nothing wrong with that. Even when she partied all night, her baby was being cared for.
She gets picked on because she's famous, but how many other mothers the same age as Britney are doing worse? I bet there are lots! I think people should give her a little slack.

britney is one of those celebs i feel sorry for she has had such a bad time of late i know she has all her cash but then she has been through the mill what with her useless man and all the media being against her i think she just needs to let off steam at the moment just as any of us would if we had been through that and had a nanny to take our kids for us she has worked hard most of her life but she has just come to point where she needs to be her again.
she will get through this all she needs is to be confident admit she made a boob and move on we all make mistakes its just ours are not public property like hers good luck to her i say.

As people we all go through tough times. But since her life and every move she makes is highlighted by the media and paparossi, I still think she should remain on the downlow. She do have two young babies at home. Getting a divorce dont mean become a party animal and become loose with chracter ( speaking about her not having panties on and her private being exposed). that is just going way too far.
At that trying time in her life I think she should have spent all her time at home reflecting, and getting over her lesson. Thats good her kids were being taking care of, but they needed Mommy at that time.
People handle stress differently, she is hurting right now, but the best thing she can do is be an adult about it.

I relate to her as well. I hate Kevin so delighted she dumped I would never have looked at him twice in my opinion he is not worth ne thing. He just used her for fame and the only reason he is known is cos of britney and she gave him the name he has today. he is only well known cos of her no other reason. I am happy she dumped him he was no good to her or for her, she deserves better. Being so famous so young has made her miss out on her childhood and the decisions she makes now are like the learning curve she missed out on. no one should jump into marriage unlesss they feel it will last there is no point otherwise cos it causes too much pain and hurt to people. Always think big decisions like that and even small ones through as it could make a difference between getting hurt or not.
It will take time but i think britney will come to her senses and get over him, she will soon find her self and calm the partying down.
I like her but she makes some awful decisions.

i still dont see how all of this justifies her all night partying with the likes of Paris Hiltoon and Lindsay Lohan! Not wearing any panties! Please!! what an example she's setting for her young fans!
And this all night partying, dont tell me it isnt taking a toll on her two young sons! I agree with you at the culmination of your post that she's got to get control of her life but the way things are with her i dont see that happening anytime soon!

This might just explain some things. Because her life was so glamorous, she just had to prove to herself that she was real. Anyway, I think that the media are way too hard on her.

When you make the decision to become famous...or in this case, your mother makes the decision for you...you are put in the spotlight, and should expect it. You shouldn't have any sympathy for the famous...they are their because they wanted to be, and should have taken the time to realize that it means giving up your privacy, and being critizied on EVERYTHING you do. Just my two cents. :P

I really think it's hard to live a life of a britney. She was always on the road, and probably doesn't have enough time to get around her family and close friends much. And the thing about kevin, hey everybody made mistakes right, but from that awfull relationship she had two beautiful sons...right? There's always a silver lining behind every cloud, just hangin' there brit
