Young and Reaching for The Stars?

Well you are a thirteen year old, attending eighth grade, other than school and talking about your crush what do you do on your spare time? Do you get a record deal that your parents paid for and have someone else write songs that relate to a seventeen year old girl? Personally I wouldn't, especially when it sounds more machine than human when you are done recording. But apparently the thirteen year old pop "sensation" Rebecca Black begs to differ. The video for her "song" Friday was put onto Youtube on February 10, 2011. In the first month she recieved only about a 1,000 views, but by the next month her video was BIG... In all the wrong ways. 19 million views later by March 11, her video was one of the most talked about videos of the last ten years, Charlie Sheen tweeted "Rebecca Black, we don't hate you because you're famous, you're famous because we hate you." This wasn't the only tweet about Rebecca Black. Hundreds and even thousands more where made and this put Rebecca Black right into the crosshairs of cyber bullying, which she almost deserved after making a song like she did, but some comments and tweets went possibly a bit too far.

So should a teen, not even in high school, who has much more of their life to live, be thrown into the spotlight? I mean the money and fame is a great relief for any budding talent at first, but once its all said and done, it usually doesn't end well. Instead of living a normal life from there on everything changes and sometimes too rapidly. A teen living their years in the spotlight is already alot, but then when you throw in the modern world with the internet and the possible risk of cyber bullying, all the problems seem to multiply. Black herself even said during an interview on Good Morning America that some of the comments on her video where harsh and made her cry. Is that really how you want to live your life? I don' know everyone may have a different opinion, but personally i wouldn't... Below is Rebecca Black's "hit"... Friday
