Are celebs growing up too fast?

TaylorMomsenFREE.jpg

There's a lot of buzz that stars like Gossip Girl actress Taylor Momsen and Miley Cyrus look MUCH older than they really are and that because they're in the spotlight 24/7, they're being forced to grow up too fast. (Both starlets are only 16!)

Do you think the pressures of Hollywood are causing young stars to grow up too fast and too soon? Why? Do you think celebs like Taylor and Miley look a lot older than what they really are?

yes defently for miley if she knows that 6 year old girls are looking up to her than she shouldnt be on a ploe

ilovesammi on October 22, 2009 1:23 PM

OMFG! YES YES YES!! They are all growing up to fast!!! They are NOT 21 year olds so why do we see them drinkinG?? I think it's just the world is moving to fast and making them grow up

IPromiseYou117 on October 22, 2009 1:29 PM

Yes 100% These Days Stars Are Trying To Be So Perfect! But They Have To Relize Theres Young Fans Looking Up Too Them! And Its Okay To Be Yourself! There Still Young Themselfs! And They Have To Learn From There Mystakes!

abbielovesjustin on October 22, 2009 2:41 PM

YES!!!! i love miley soooo much, but she makes the most terrible decisions! she needs to act like she has younger kids looking up to her because she does! and as for taylor no i think she is fine

yes I do because the have to make the right decisions and if they make the wrong ones they hold to a cross

twilightluver347 on October 22, 2009 8:09 PM

They are because since they're famous they are forced to where what the 20 year olds wear or most tabloids will say mean comments about them whether it's true or not.

lollipop16 on October 23, 2009 9:00 AM

she is soooooooo pretty expecally she eyes there sooo
pretty because there blue

spazzattack1012 on October 23, 2009 7:02 PM

Well, even if the tabloids hit them hard, it's THERE choice of what to do with there life. Miley is amazing, but it was kind of just awkward and shallow for her to do that JUST for publicity. I remember the first season Hannah Montana. She was so cool. But now, it's kind of weird to watch it, becasuse of the things she's done.

aprettystar1 on October 23, 2009 11:13 PM

They grow so quickly I can hardly keep track they get new looks , new hair styles and new voices. It's just confusing! Miley and taylor are growing, but not miley much taylor has so much going on! I mean everyone is so busy!

lolchick12 on October 24, 2009 3:45 PM

yes because they have a choice for what to do with thier life. they can change themselfs to make the tabloids happy, or they can be themselfs. they can throw thier life away by doing something stupid or live life to the fullest. i gotta say, miley cyrus dancing on a pole was a bad idea when young kids look up to her. some stars will completly change and act older than they are. they should just be themselfs

jenxjen920 on October 24, 2009 7:40 PM

yes! Tabloids talk about their boyfriend problems and stuff so stars think by acting older they'll be more mature and won't have as much drama focus. They probably also think that they'll be taken more seriously.

greengirl31 on October 24, 2009 8:45 PM

yes cuz dey actin lik dey are 25 n not teenagers. dey hav to realive they wont b a kid der whole lif n soon all the fun will b ova so i would tri to b a kid as long as i could

taylor momsen should have taken the part of hannah montana! Taylor momsen is a role model..on the other hand miley tries to make her self cool but really the things she does are stupid like dancing on a pole..wat kind of an idiot would do that w/ little kids there who look up to u! Taylor rules..Milley used to be a role model not anymore!

blondie21997 on October 25, 2009 2:45 PM

YEAH!!! i mean duh there are some celeberties out there that want to get pregnent. Thats jsut stupid and others seem to want to have a boyfriend 24/7. I mean all you need is a really good, close friend to keep secrets with.

OMG! These strars aare crazy! They should enjoy life and their age. They will grow up and wish they enjoyed life instead of trying to grow up with all of the clothes, make up, and pole dancing.

cokepepsi99 on October 25, 2009 8:55 PM

i think that miley definitely needs to show some respect for herself. i mean short shorts, sexy photos? and what was with that pole dancing??? the body is a beautiful aspect and it shouldn't be used as a sex toy. miley show some respect!

JustinB+M-C on October 26, 2009 5:28 AM

Miley was NOT pole dancing if she did'nt hold it she would fall and she is a good age to wear short shorts I'm younger than her and I wear them and what sexy photos??

jackthedog on October 26, 2009 6:50 PM

Tons of teenagers dress like MIley but she has little kids looking up to her and she's not dressed appropriately sometimes but she is still a good influence just not with clothes! :)

cokepepsi99 on October 26, 2009 7:10 PM

for JustinB MC

you know the sexy photos with her back showing? totally wrong! i mean jackthedog is right. she does have little kids looking up to her and it's not ok to let them think that what she is doing is right. no one should be seeing that. sheesh! and with those shorts, you must like miley a lot then!

cokepepsi99 on October 26, 2009 7:12 PM

also those photos in skimpy little tops posted all over google with her bra hanging out with her lips all puckered? yeah that's pleasant! she should model for playboy instead of sing!!

Yes they are. They always wear skimpy clothes and dance skimpy. Slow down! :-D

i think they are,they just need to know that just cause their in hollywood,doesnt mean they need to ct like their older than they really are=)

she is in the spotlight because she want to be in it the same for miley the love the attiention they get but miley does it nastyer .love gossip girl

They should act their own age they still have a few years until they should act like the way they are. I guess they just love the spotlight.

smrtypntsevie on October 29, 2009 7:58 PM

First off, for that last question. They have stylists that make them wear their clothes and do their makeup. I love Taylor Momsen, she is very pretty, but I do think that in the show she looks more 18. But she is still SUPER pretty!

TaylorHumanJacobWolf on October 29, 2009 9:51 PM

Absolutely! I think they need to be a kid. Like Miley. She acts like she is older than what she really is. She is still young and she needs to embrace it the right way. She is turning into another Britney and people look up to her. I think she is going way to far!

Christina_Bubble on October 30, 2009 10:20 AM

yes,i agree with miz.gurly
they growing up to fast

Christina_Bubble on October 30, 2009 10:20 AM

yes,i agree with miz.gurly
they growing up to fast

uknowuwantme on October 30, 2009 2:49 PM

i also argee, i think they are growing up way too fast the act like they are in their twenties when they are only sixteen.

yes definatly...they have tons of younger fans. i personally do not like miley, but i do think that they need to act their age which is 16 and not 21.

hellokittyRULEZ on October 31, 2009 12:13 AM

at the beginning,i used 2 love miley but every1 is right she is growing up 2 fast.i used 2 look up 2 her back then.

MileyandTwilightSagaManiac on October 31, 2009 8:15 AM

Miley has pressure but she looks and acts 16
think about if u were in her position u would be stressed 2!
and as 4 taylor, well shes a good girl that looks 18, but just fom the make-up

Miley went wayyyy too far dancing on that pole! When she was still Hannah Montana on Disney Channel I used to look up to her! But now, I've grown to old for her. But she still has little kids looking up to her. I bet you that when those little 6 year olds saw her doing that they said "Mommy, I want a pole for Christmas so I can be like Miley!"

Taylor is fine she is acting her age. Its her makeup that makes her look older.

justinschik76 on October 31, 2009 1:09 PM

i dont think celebs are growing up to fast! im 16 and i dress like taylor does all the time! i just think miley is growing up to fast cuz shes got little girls looking up to her and shes pole dancing!!

CRAZEEinLOVE on October 31, 2009 10:52 PM

Okay evryone has to grow up, you cant be a kid 4ever (even if you wish to be.) Taylor i think is very pretty and i love the way she dresses. Taylor i think looks a bit older than 16 and that's okay i've always looked older than i really am. Although Miley on the other hand makes herself look older than she is. She dances on poles when she has kids from the age of 3 at least looking up to her. There are times when you want to act older and to look older but i dont think dancing on poles is going to help that fact. Being and acting like Taylor could help tho....

imfuzzbabie on November 1, 2009 8:10 PM

umm...most deffinetly they are so forced to stay in the spotlight they have no choice but to grow up a little to fast..but they dont look no older than 17 non the less so no i domt think they look that old and as for miley she is still a kid wether she think so or not so she will most likely follow by example and she looks up to ppl like britney spears and thats not the best person to look up to....i know this and im only 14....HUH ima loc

kenzNumber9 on November 1, 2009 8:41 PM

yea i agree Nikke ... miley needs to relize that just because shes getting older doesnt mean little kids arent looking up to her anymore. jeeze cant there be like one desent role model out there for little kids anymore?? i know people make mistakes but im pretty sure that thats not an excuse anymore if you repeatedly do it.

mileybiggestfan on November 2, 2009 12:37 AM

hollywood is makeing all this teenagers look like they going up to fast in hollywood hollywood is a hotmess beacouse you look older dont make you older the reason they might look older beacaouse it how they body is shape and face look

mileybiggestfan on November 2, 2009 12:37 AM

hollywood is makeing all this teenagers look like they going up to fast in hollywood hollywood is a hotmess beacouse you look older dont make you older the reason they might look older beacaouse it how they body is shape and face look

yea i totally agree. i cant believe miley would dance on a pole in front of a bunch of younger kids and most of them do what she does and she is setting a realllllly bad example for them cuz b4 u kno it they all are gonna be dancing on poles and the younger ones dont get the fact of what a pole dancer is but they are gonna be like i wanna pole dance cuz that is what miley does and that isnt right little ones shouldnt be doing that stuff. and their parents might have a problem with it.....

Kinda. Miley is growing up way too fast !!!! But the other celebs are not.

x0x0_elysa_x0x0 on November 4, 2009 7:28 AM

ya!!! i cant B-lif miley did dat pole dance thingy and use dat clothes!! its so ... exposing!( i mean did u see her top?! u could practically the back of her bra & her shorts r like her panty!) i mean she's not even 20!!! & all the younger ones look up at her and who knows one day there's gonna b pole dancing 4 gym??!!

x0x0_elysa_x0x0 on November 4, 2009 7:43 AM

yea! Miley is totally growing up waaaaaaay 2 fast!! i mean 1 minute u see her as hannah montana and den the next, britney spears jr doing pole dancing! And did u all saw wat she wore?! U cud practically c the back of her bra n her shorts r like her panty!! Not only dat, the younger ones r looking up at her!! so who knows one day the young ones will asked, "mummy why isn't there pole dancing in gym?" or "mummy can i buy a bra so i cud use with my panty to a party?" or even "mummy can i get a pole 4 christmas so i can dance like miley?"

x0x0_elysa_x0x0 on November 4, 2009 7:44 AM

twilightfanstar on November 5, 2009 5:18 PM

miley is growing so fast you can imagine what 4 years aggo seeing her on hannah montana now shes poll dancing!!!!! at first i was kinda glad my 6yr old cozin liked her but now i kinda tell her to look up to someone else!

angelcraven731 on November 5, 2009 9:27 PM

taylor is growing up really fast. 3 years ago she wasn't known to anybody and people thought of her as a kid. now she's technically a grownup!

angelcraven731 on November 5, 2009 9:28 PM

taylor is growing up so fast. 3 years ago she wasn't known to anybody and now she's one of the most popular singers ever. at least people can't think of her as a kid anymore since shes almost 20!

wwwooowww!!!

ZacEfronNo.1Fan on November 6, 2009 6:28 AM

yeeeeahh of course for miley...i used to love her...but now she's really acting stupid and like a divaa....that's not so cool...she should act like her age !...BELIEVE ME..SHE JUST LOST A BIG FAN!

babygirl1265 on November 7, 2009 9:11 AM

i think that they are pressured alot into acting like someone theyre not.pressure to be perfect so that they dont look bad themselves.

Team Tayward on November 7, 2009 2:11 PM

taylor looks awesome! i think ppl r too worried bout others personal life. if this was one of ur friends would the whole country talk bout it?

taylor from gossip girl i think is growing up WAY to fast she looks like shes in her late 20s its ridicuious (i hve no idea how old she is) but i think miley looks her age but sometimes i dont think she acts like it

taylor from gossip girl i think is growing up WAY to fast she looks like shes in her late 20s its ridicuious (i hve no idea how old she is) but i think miley looks her age but sometimes i dont think she acts like it

colorful1924 on November 8, 2009 9:01 AM

they are growing up way tooo fast i mean miley really needs to know how many little girls look up to her because look wat she's out there doing and they all look and act so much older. they should act there age

oliviagreer814 on November 8, 2009 3:30 PM

ABSOLUTLEY! They shouldn't think just because they are famous they can change EVERYTHING about themselves!!!

makenna789 on November 8, 2009 3:54 PM

FOR MILEY ITS SO YES THAT ITS RIDICULOUS, GOD IN A YEAR I BET SHE GONNA BE LIKE BRITTANY SPEARS, SHES INSPIRED BY HER TO! I MEAN GOD GIRL UR HANNAH MONNTANAH! as for taylor no i dont think so.

makenna789 on November 8, 2009 3:55 PM

oh about my last post yeaa taylor is i didnt read what taylor they said lol

MustangGirl on November 8, 2009 5:18 PM

no i think its on them how old they act and look you can use your makeup to make u look older

paramore712 on November 8, 2009 9:03 PM

Yeah, they really are. Miley should no that there are kids looking up to her like as young as 5 or younger.

Miley and that taylor person are def dressing acting and talking like they are 25 or something like they are only 16 15 around there but still ,i believe that swaring is so horrible about 94% of my ELEMENTARY shcool are using bad language even the grade twos!! so stop the bad language if i can do it so can all of you .. eg taylor swift she is like 19 around there she could dress like her age like miley but she chose the good road like me she is my role modle GO TAYLOR SWIFT!!

they need to no thats not appropriate many children look up to dem and want 2 be them so learn to not pose and be non showy they need to no that is not ok party in da usa is not approprate on disney its a great song but just gross miley needs 2 stop blaming it on the tabloids and start talking responsibility

TootsieGirl123 on November 9, 2009 10:47 PM

YAAAAA!!!.....I think that Miley should act her age.I think that if she keeps up her diva mood then she may endup like Britney Spears stuckup and mean!!!!

volleyballgirl317 on November 10, 2009 10:44 PM

Celebs are DEFINITELY growing up too fast. I think the pressures of Hollywood is the main cause. It's a really sad thing to see when a so-called "Good girl" celeb starts going all-out with the Hollywood stereotype.

paigeypaiger on November 11, 2009 1:20 AM

No I don`t think it`s the pressure of Hollywood. It`s just some girls mature faster then others. Miley does look older then she is,but then again she don`t. You guys also have to remember she is almost 17 years old. Her apperance,make up,and other things can also make her look like that. Also she is mature for her age,also she might want to grow up,some 16 years old do know how to act mature. People have to remember that youg teenage adults are not children they do know better,and how to make wrong or right decissons. I think that them both are doing fine,and that they have there head on there shoulders,and is getting somewhere in life. No matter how old you are,I am pretty sure you can be mature at any age.

OMG!!! I can't belevie that miley is taking bad photos and short shorts??? i mean come on im seven years old and once i saw her in a bikini with her ___________ hanging out completly

breegirl101 on November 12, 2009 2:27 AM

sometimes, it depends on which celebs you are talking about. like selena: no. demi: a little. miley: kind of. some of them just get caught up in the spotlight.

breegirl101 on November 12, 2009 2:27 AM

kind of, it depends on which celeb u r talking about.

yes totally!!!!
i remember it just like yesterday that miley cyrus, selena gomez, nick jonas and dylan and cole sprouse were still 14 in the earlier episodes and songs. I feel as if they're going to get TOO mature too fast.

all i gotts say is WOW

angelgirl800 on November 12, 2009 6:44 PM

Well I think that Hollywood does pressure stars a lot. The stars do have their own voice though and sometimes can change things. To be honest I never even knew Taylor Momsen was 16 because she looks so much older. Miley on the other hand tries to be older than she is. Look how she dresses, how she dances in her 'Party in th U.S.A' video and how she posed for Vanity Fair.

IDC ALL I NO IS MILEY ROCKS AND NO ONE ELSE DOES!!!!!!!!!!!
(EXEPT FOR JUSTIN BIEBER)
LMFAAOO

PeacexLovexMusicx4 on November 13, 2009 4:48 PM

Yes, i think so. But for Miley, i think she wants to get out of the disney image. That's ok, but you don't have to become skanky in the process. She needs to realize that she has a younger fan base, and that little girls look up to her. Someone as raunchy as her should NOT be a role model. She's sixteen on the inside, twenty-five on the outside.

JustinBieberFever on November 13, 2009 7:43 PM

They do look older than they are but that just means there responsible!! Like Miley.

Corinabobina on November 14, 2009 6:47 PM

yes, they are growing up a tad fast, but they only sommetimes look older for their roles. HULLO! Taylor has to look like jenny!

Yeah.Miley use to look so innocent and sweet.But now she is dating and wearing new"trends".She has did some bad things you wouldn't expect.The nose ring,the "pole dance"(as people believe she did),and the photo shot.

PeppermintCookie10 on November 15, 2009 8:35 PM

No, they aren't. Taylor Momsen wears alot of makeup, but that's just who she is. She's not trying to be anyone but herself! And Miley did one pole dance, big deal. Alot of 16 year olds do worse things than that! Younger teens need to understand that most teenagers do act like this, whether they're famous or not.

Miley is growing up way way way to fast.

vampirewannabe on November 17, 2009 7:51 PM

i think miley needs to stop dressing like stripper

i think there growing up wayy to fast, like really have some fun! lol and i think they look older than what they really look like ?

Miley is sooooooo growing up to fast i see things all the time that say shes turning into Britney spears too. Shes posting naked pics of herself and she has an almost naked pic on the cover of vanity fair... what is up with that and then shes got her younger sister, Noah, dressing in a super-short, lace-up dress with way to much make up on halloween, its just not right and i cant believe Billy Ray is letting either of them!!!

Candydrop123 on November 21, 2009 11:05 AM

Well I think they grow up fast because one minute they are little three year old and then another minute they are 26! OOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGG!!!!!!

Well I Think They Probaly Grow Up Fast Because That Most Is Use To Be Around Older Celbertity And That's Why They Must Be Like Them I Have No Problem About Miley Cyrus Or Taylor Mosmen; Expectaly You Miley You Are My Role Model; So Yeah Please Stop Talking Bout Them;
Thanks Byee

mileycyruspartyintheusa on November 21, 2009 11:33 PM

I am a HUGE MILEY FAN but the pole dancing was way out of control with young children watching

yes because maybe when they are on tour and stuff they pick up the adult stuff and act like what they see so everyone will think they are mature and cool

Erinberry27 on November 25, 2009 8:31 PM

Omg! ummmmm ya miley had a stripper pole! in one of her song!!!!!!!!

Let Miley be Miley. Let Taylor be Taylor. You may not like miley and you may not like Taylor but just because you don't like them doesn't mean you have to be all like "Oh my gosh they shouldn't be doing this or they shouldn't be doing that."

well, miley is dancing on poles and in one j14 she said she was glad people were comparing her to Britney Spears, so yeah!!!!!!! as for Taylor,I don't know much about her, but she looks soooooooooo grown up

I think Miley is growing up too fast because she's been taking nudy pics and dressing sexy. I'm not a Miley hater, but it's true!

keikowilly04 on November 29, 2009 9:34 PM

Yeah. I think the Hollywood pressure is causing young stars to grow up too fast because they want 2 stand out and be cool but if you dress too sexy and start acting to old it just gets wrong.

onemoregenius98 on November 30, 2009 8:44 PM

Taylor does not look 16. I thought she was a little older. I think she acts older because she wants to be an adult and because most stars in their teen years or younger are forced to grow up fast.

neongreenshark on December 1, 2009 12:41 PM

taylor looks like any other 16 year old to me! i haven't seen miley lately, but i heard she's getting piercings.

Uhh... no taylor is growing up to fast. miley is perfectly fine they only say that because they hate her

HECK NO!!! It's not just Celebs it's every kid in America. Wayyyy before young celebs came out I would always see little 12/13 yr old girls wear high heels, dark red lipstick, & barely there cloths. So it's not the celebs... it's the PARENTS!!!

angelthetaylorlover on December 10, 2009 6:07 PM

well i think taylor just might be going through a faze and miley i think its her who has all the pressure now that her bro is back who knows??!! ITS THERE CLOTHES NOT THERE PERSONALITY WHY MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT THERE CLOTHES THERE STILL THE PEOPLE WE KNOW!!??

justinbeiberlover4 on December 14, 2009 7:02 PM

some times when i watch really old shows and then a day later there are talking about a guy or a girl they get real old.

you guys are acting so stupid like yeah maybe miley shouldnt have done that but sometimes teens go through stages like that...but no need to throw a fit about GROWING UP!!!

coco4jstn and jonas bros on December 21, 2009 12:06 AM

leave them be if they want to be the way they are let them if you want celebs to look like there real age just look up to selena gomez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she looks like a chipmunk that will never grow up

i luv justin and joe and jacob

Yes celebs are growing up too fast and miley shes only 17 taking bad pictures and pole dancing i mean i liked this girl before but now no i even went to her concert she was pole dancing there too go taylor

why does miley have to get a tatoo in an inapropriate place taylor is way better then her personaly i like taylor more

TRUE!!! they are I mean it seems like it was only yesterday that Miley was making her first episode of Hannah Montana

bellamarial on December 22, 2009 5:17 PM

i think miley is a REALLY BAD role model for everyone!!!!!! Why would she do such things!!!!!Like everyone else, (mostly) use to look up to her as a good example but she made pity all over her name!!!Miley if your reading this ,GOOD !!! You deserve to know wat everyone thinks about you!!!! and dont go teaching ur lil sister bad things!!!

toojessica1718 on December 22, 2009 7:39 PM

lol yeah right i mean shes dating a 21 year old guy and shes 16 i mean come on date some one in your age group not somone that is old enough to drink

yeah but its how they live now every one excpects for them to act all grown up it's a adult world not always pefect for them

Their in hollywood. Give 'em a break. Little Noah Cyrus, she looks up to her sister, maybe somtimes she feels left out, so dresses like shes goin halloween partying! Its hard growing up there, like Taylor, you don't expect her to be going to skipping rope ( fine double dutch, im from england ) tourniment, do you?

jbfan4life123 on December 23, 2009 8:02 PM

okayyyy that is insane they r wayyyyy wayyy 2 young to be dressing like that! expecialy mileys litle sis!! i mean 7 years old! come on1
