Most often, famous people (at least a lot of famous singers) have drug problems because of the people they hang out with, the stress of their job (you may work a full time job but their entire LIFE is their job. They are on the covers of magazines, on t.v. Their LIFE is on display for the whole world to see. Every FLAW, every MOVE they make is on camera. That is enough to make anyone stressed. Add to that you are expected to hang with certain people (to be with the "in" crowd) who are also just as stressed.) Drugs are a big problem with famous people. Being rich has nothing to do with it.
Ok I'm sure it is stressful to be famous. I'm sure I wouldn't want people knowing every aspect of y life 24/7 but I think we're overlooking something. There is a simple way to take away all the stress of being famous. STOP! Stop writing music, stop performing, stop making movies, stop doing whatever it is that makes you famous. Go get a factory job in Kansas and look at that not famous anymore! I bet you won't find many people doing that will you? You know why? Because they CHOOSE to be famous, they CHOOSE to be rich. Just like they CHOOSE to do drugs. Also, I think saying peer pressure made me do it is kinda crap too. Come on she was an adult. I used cocaine for several years and fortunately I got away from it before it killed me but I still hang out with several people who did it with me, whether they do it or not I don't know because they know what reaction they will get if they offer it to me. I'm an adult and I make my own decisions and I deal with my own consequences just as she did. The rich and famous develop drug issues because they have the money to develop drug issues and they want the lifestyle, not because of peer pressure.

As for not posting opinions on a public forum...its a PUBLIC forum and hence open to opinion from everyone regardless of whether or not they agree with you.
