Nope, by the time I was graduating highschool I was already finding more success in the world that I was in and having more fun/partying/hooking up more in different states than I would have at a college.

That was in a time where it would have been still cool to be on mediums like mtv. Being 17 is strange enough, but adding in all these other factors that come into play with ego, money, betrayals, health, legalities, death and not to mention the way the music industry was changing..it changed almost overnight with the rise of Napster, social media, mp3 and the way entertainment operated.

If you are young, talented, good looking and have any originality you will be used by someone who wants to live vicariously through you. It's even worse when it's a parent as I saw starting to happen with my friends, who are dead now.
