This child is smiling because her daddy just bought her a new doll. This child lives in a loving home with her parents and siblings, goes to school with her neighborhood friends, and loves to laugh. She dreams of getting a puppy for Christmas. This little girl is Miley Cyrus.
This picture made me so sad. Celebrities build up their fan base slowly, while their haters seem to multiply twice as fast. And who are celebrities, really? They're people, just like us. They have the entire array of human emotions and are just as sensitive as the next person, but somehow, we feel it is okay to hate on them for no particular reason. Why do we assume that they are immune to nasty comments, public displays of anger, and especially cyber bullying (because that's what it is), just due to the fact that they have more money than us? Money can't buy happiness.
Every time I hear that Justin Beiber got booed on while receiving an award or that Demi Lovato got called fat, I think of how they must feel. Because to them, one hater at the concert represents hundreds at home. If one negative comment sticks with us for years, why do we think it's acceptable to say things such as, "Oh God, change the channel, quick!! I hate Justin Beiber, he makes me sick." or ask our friends, "If you had one bullet, would you shoot Justin Beiber or Nicki Minaj?".
You hate their music, fine, fair enough. But you better have a damn good reason for hating them.
