Some of it is definitely her fricked up parents, but it's also fame at a young age. It's not good for you. George Clooney has talked about how he's thankful he wasn't famous until 30 because his observations and personal experiences of Hollywood-type fame have shown him that child and teen stars are extremely messed up adults more often than not. His theory is that rather than developing an authentic, grounded sense of self, child and teen stars have that process short circuited and perverted by being lauded with interest and feted with adoration.
