Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)
I think you people should care about yourself and your own kids.
As I read these comments here, i am asking myself "are they serious".
Don't go in public, don't use internet, don't speak to media ..........
...
I tend to agree with that. I nearly started laughing when the fan community started the outrage how a 14 year old by the name of Prince traveled to Berlin, Germany by HIMSELF (!!!!)- on a plane. As if someone sent him into a war zone where starvation was certain and death by war crimes would be the surefire results. They got food, fridges, the Autobahn and better cell phone reception that Boston over there... so he could have called home anytime if being in a foreign country proved too much to handle...lol.
Countless teenagers fly all across the world, every single day. (just a random example here)
Setting the fans' obvious distaste for Wiesner aside- teenagers change rapidly within weeks and months sometimes. They do have aspirations, plans. There are countless teenagers of their age traveling and exploring- in exchange programs etc. Countless teenagers go to music school/have music lessons the way Paris has taken acting lessons. Not everybody in the arts is being abused Michael Jackson style by beatings and so forth. Some are lucky enough to pursue their artistic interests without actual harm being done. At her age I was training every night in either an orchestra or other music lesson. I wished people were able to separate these 'they are being kept out of the will' issues a little bit from other issues.
It's very fortunate for Michael's children to have the means to get both a worthwhile education- and be able to pursue potential creative careers. It's not 'horrendous' parenting to let your teenager follow their inclinations.
I understand the mistrust people have toward some- that children are potentially being pushed beyond their own interests- but have some maybe considered that perhaps Paris might simply feel drawn to acting just as absolutely countless other people?
I also have huge issues that people love to read these tweets- and then develop outrage over the fact that she's tweeting. I don't like the fact that every nut on twitter has a platform to insult and hurt someone- but how about not following her on twitter if that's such an issue? Why repost her tweets on here if one finds her twitter activity so horrendous? There are children and young teenagers that commit suicide over the way they are being bullied- I'd rather be an activist for example in those backwards states in the US that pass legislature that ALLOW bullying in schools over sexual orientation that is based on religion! Send a tweet that way as well!
I said it many times, these kids are grown, NOT ADULD. You still see them as the "kids with the masks". ...
Teenagers are indeed not 8 year olds. There was a reason that adolescents used to be considered 'grown' the way you meant it. They are no longer small children, yet major life experience is still missing- hence the discrepancy oftentimes between "this is what I want" versus an actual outcome with consequences a teenager didn't think of.
If older generations would be more accepting of teenagers instead of treating them as incapable (while still being a responsible adult and parent figure)- maybe we would had less conflict?
Countless parent are proud as heck off their offspring when said offspring successfully sang their first role in the Christmas play at school- and made the local paper. The idea is the same.
People also seem to imply that Michael and his children would never experience any conflict- or that everything would be honkey dorey. If Michael was still alive- and Paris somehow would go on Twitter- people would attack Michael without mercy. Not the fans- but the 'general' population. Now that Michael is gone- the fans will trace absolutely everything in Blanket, Paris' and Prince' (by the way what's with the "PPB/BPP" acronyms? They are individuals, not some group consciousness that is only united by their last names) lives as a 'major fail' on behalf their guardians. That's just as unfair.
Blanket, Paris and Prince have the same rights to live their lives just as anybody else does- that includes really effing up on occasion. It means being human. Paris and her siblings have the same rights as everyone else to live a teenage life, go to school, grow up, come home drunk once or twice and puke in the bushes hoping nobody sees...just like you and I lived life. (maybe you didn't puke in the bushes...:wild: maybe you did other stuff...:cheeky
They don't us need on stand by waging the finger, there are enough people glaring at them already.
I would hate to see that Michael's fans act the way the media haunted Michael with every bit of being human. NOBODY ever let him forget Berlin- and Blanket. Don't do the same to his children.
I was not the easiest of teenagers- that doesn't mean my parents did wrong- no- I'm still an individual.
the way some speak with Paris on twitter or else, isn't right, but that way she can learn to handle such things.
It won't be long, when she'll be confronted with the accusations about Michael. How you think she react, if can't defend herself from some stupid bitch, that bothers her on twitter.
And stop blaming the Jacksons for everything. they are not innocent, but not to be blamed for everything.
So stop acting like you know it better.
Judging by some of the tweets that I have seen fans proudly posting here- sometimes I think the fans don't exactly conduct themselves worthy of the word "mature". I remember reading some of the tweets fans let loose on family members who were on their way to Forest Lawn.
And those lame comments: what if the movie flops? what if ripped apart by the media because of her acting? How do you know she is even getting this role based on her talent and not just because she's Michael Jackson's daughter? why such low bugget production? and on and on .......
Funny how these questions are such contradiction in themselves. I remember Michael taking part in "Miss Castaway". I mean, talk about low budget. :rofl: Yet fans celebrated that much goofy nerdiness with humor.
Nobody has a some kind of 'God given' right to star in the ultimate blockbuster that defines movie history.
I cringe about the time when some will start accusing the children of 'leeching' off their father's name as well- out of envy etc.
People worry about this project not taking off the ground- and just how many projects did her father Michael envision that never took off the ground as well? What is with the hypocrisy? If you want to do ANYTHING successfully in the arts- you have to start out with a vision of 600%- just so that you can maybe realize 50% in life and reality. You have to start somewhere.
Michael Jackson of all people should have taught people that. Start big, you can always size down. Failure is part of the process, especially in any creative ventures. Ask Michael about that- he was so incredibly successful- yet I am sure he could talk to you for weeks about at least dreaming big.
they live their life, like every other teenager these days. just with little exception, they need to talk about their dead famous father.
I agree. People tend to think about rich little kids and how all is being provided for. The kids have shouldered a lot. Media onslaught- and also every Joe and their mother who has an opinion.
I wished fans would also communicate back to the children, hey, we love your dad and we have your back. You don't have to be some superhuman, superperfect invisible being. We understand, we have your back- and good luck and we truly wish you the best. The way we'd treat our own children.
I can only imagine what it is like to read all this vengeance. Are your parents perfect? I know mine are not. Nor am I the perfect parent- I 'only' parent a challenging pre-schooler that comes with his own set of issues that make him a little different from his own peers where I was forced to kick every notion of 'this is the way it is DONE!!' to the curb.
There is no perfect solution for the children of Michael Jackson. There simply isn't.
Think back to being a teenager- which one would you prefer? A calm parent that says "you can come to me anytime, you can tell me anything"- which still doesn't mean that anything goes- or would you rather have a screaming hysterical parent who pulls a guilt trip number on you with a flood of tears and a "don't you ever do that to me, young lady!!!!! You understand??????????" Would you like to communicate with someone who is so merciless?
My gosh, look at them- they have had such hurdles thrown at them in life. Be Michael's heart- be proud of them.
I just send them my love and wishes for success- whatever it is that they want to do in live.
