A Botched Request

When parents realize that their child has potential to succeed in showbiz, they will do everything to make sure their son or daughter gets on top. Many of today’s top celebrities started as unknowns and only had sheer talent that allowed them to be noticed by industry bigwigs, who gave them a much needed break. Thus, most of them started at a young age and have been performing for decades. Meanwhile, most parents have decided to drop their careers and focus on handling the careers of their children.

The sad reality is that parents and the rest of the family sometimes rely on the celebrity child for their financial concerns. This situation is quite common to the point that some parents even control not only the lives of their celebrity children, but also their personal freedom and finances. As parents, they would claim that it is their duty to make sure their celebrity son or daughter would be guided. For the money issue, certain celebrities actually have yet to truly enjoy financial independence.

Teen Actress (TA) started her career by auditioning, as she does not have any connection in the business at all. She is not related to any industry insider who can guarantee her automatic fame in the industry. At a young age, she had to work hard for every peso that flows into her family and deal with a broken home.

As the breadwinner of her family, one would expect that TA would be treated a bit better to show appreciation for her contribution to the family finances. Unfortunately, such perception is not true. In their household, each member does what he/she pleases and if it includes ignoring TA, then such will happen. One time, TA apparently wanted to watch a movie and needed someone to accompany her. As TA asked if anyone could accompany her, her family members all declined. Thus, TA had to stay home and feel sad that no one wanted to go with her.

When family members are busy with their own thing and ignore one member, chances are that family member could seek attention from the wrong crowd. TA needs as much guidance at present to make sure she focuses on her career. That guidance should come from her immediate guardian. After all, with family benefitting from her career, giving in to her request and providing her with attention would be meaningful for someone of TA’s age and for someone who has been working already for almost half her life.
