Nope - I think it has more to do with being catered to because you have a talent and not being told \"No\" and having established boundries and discipline because you\'re \"a special snowflake\", coupled with the prestige you get from being a child star\'s parent these days - especially if you had dreams and aspirations that cause you to push your children in this direction so you can live vicariously through them.
Shirly Temple Black did rather well as a child star, and was not a major trainwreck as a young adult or adult (Hell she was a US ambassador for a while).
But we live in a society that no longer stresses that you have to have discipline as a child and wonder why shyte like this happens.
As for Ms. Cyrus, who cares about the pictures or what they show? Its her life.
