Lindsay Lohan Article and Response

[Andy]

Read the Lindsay Lohan Article and respond using the following
rationale:

It is easy to say someone is messed up, is crazy or is throwing their
life away. It is beneficial to ourselves and others to try to
understand why people think and act certain ways even if they are
completely different than how we think and act. Use this rationale
and do some more research and respond to the following question:

Who is Lindsay Lohan and why is she acting this way?

[Kourtney Lams]

Lindsay Lohan is a trouble popstar, movie star and model. She is acting this way because of her past. People with an abusive history tend to be a little messed up, and have troubles adjusting to the real world. She has trouble because most likely during her parents 2 divorses they had, she was not payed attention to. Linsay probably felt abondoned and tryed to get attention. That could lead to drugs because drugs can make people feel happy and could get the attention she needed from her parents. Also when she was growing up as an actress she never got into the real world, she was always acting and never got a chance to grow in the real world and expirance different things.

Lindsey comes from a messed up family, her parents went through a really bad divorce, and her dad is an alcoholic. In most cases like this the person tries to find an outlet that don't work like drugs, and alcohol. She just needs to get some help from a rehab facility our somewhere else and needs to find a different way to let her emotions out.

I think Lindsay Lohan has her own issues that have caused her to have the actions she has had. She started out very young in the parent trap at the age of 12. When people are child stars they have problems transitioning from childhood to being an adult. Another reason could be because of her parents divorce. They split, got back together again and once again got another divorce. This might have cause her to feel left out and abandoned by her parents and she used the drugs and all the other stuff as a cry for attention to her parents to love her and show that they care.

Lindsay Lohan is an is an American actress, pop singer and model. she is acting this way because she had a corrupt childhood with an alcoholic father. Also she started acting at a very young age so that could have been very stressful. Everything she did was known to the public and she felt she had to find a way to release all of the emotions and feeling she was having so she started experimenting with different drugs and trying new ways to live her life, which ended up starting the downfall of her life and career. :p

[Amanda Ruggles]

Growing up with a violent and alcoholic dad, it has a lot of influence on a person. A parent is supposed to be a role model on a child, and her father has influenced what she's done tremendously. Drinking usually leads to drug use, and that's how she got into all that she did. Drugs have long-term affects like addiction, restlessness, and the addiction can lead to insanity. With lindsay's addiction, I think it's safe to say that it's drove her to insanity, which explains her actions.

[Katrina Rice]

Lindsay Lohan is a actress, a model and pop singer. She began her career as a child clothing model. 1998 remake of The Parent Trap at the age of 11. Lohan gained further fame between 2003 and 2005 with leading roles in the films Freaky Friday, Mean Girls and Herbie: Fully Loaded, subsequently appearing in independent films including Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion and Emilio Estevez's Bobby.
Her career ended in 2007 for driving under the influence.
I believe she is acting like this because she is a star and has fame and a lot of stars try drugs, and I believe she tried drugs and she ended up becoming addicted to it, and then she was going through things in her life wich caused her to use more drugs and alcohol.

LIndsay Lohan is a famous actress, singer and model, but she is also known to many people as a drug addict. She grew up doing movies and that can lead a very stressful life. Her parents went through a brutal divorce and her father is an alcoholic which can be stressful to any other person. Over the years she has gone through many things including jail due to drug abuse. The cause of that can be any one of the things that she as done (Acting, alcoholic father, parents divorce..etc.). She has lived a troubled life which could be a very good reason to why she has ended up the way she did.

    Looking at a person who was once famous and now falling into a "deep whole", one might say that they wouldn't feel at all bad for Lindsay Lohan. However, it is not always fair to judge without knowing both sides of every situation. 

    Yes, Lindsay Lohan was a star, although she was a childhood star. Lindsay could never say that she was a strawberry or a tree in an elementary play, kissed her 1st crush in middle school, had a real group of friends in high school, or might not ever go to college. We could. She was never given a real childhood. Yes, it may have been cool to be famous, but can you imagine every part of your life in a magazine or on the internet all broken down into short articles for the world to read. I can surely say that I'm glad to have my privacy as well as a life without it being under a microscope.

    Not only was this an issue, but Lindsay also had it hard at home. You surely wouldn't give her mom and dad the perfect parents award. With a brutal divorce, a dad whose alcoholic  and a mom that is very passive, one could indeed get away with many things. When things are all said and done, Lindsay Lohan is just a person. Everyone makes mistakes. Lindsay just happens to make one right after another.

    In psychology, you are forced to think out of the box and take yourself out of the picture while asking questions like why is the person acting this way, what has influenced their actions, and things of that nature. This may be true, but we can't always make excuses for these people. In my opinion, yes Lindsay has had it rough, but there are people in the world that go through stuff much harder than Lindsay  and have became better people of today's society!

    Lindsay Lohan is known for her roles in The Parent Trap, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, and many others.  She began acting at a young age on pancake and other advertisements.  From the information gathered, many people may feel that she has the world at her feet and competition in the dust.  her story is far from that.  I believe that watching your parents go through an abusive divorce,. becoming hooked on drugs, which many times are given to stars when in the business, all have a negative impact on Lindsay. 
    Personally I feel sorry for her.  When you watch someone demise, it is painful.  Though she is often criticized and shunned in the acting world, Lindsay Lohan must pull  herself together, because its only a matter of time before the world mourns the death of the young starlet, who had on numerous occasions overdosed on drugs and traveled in the footsteps of another starlet from a decade far gone: Marilyn Monroe.

Lindsay Lohan is a actress and has been acting since she was a child. Lindsay was born into a family that's in the show business. So Lindsay was always in the spotlight even as a child. Lindsay Lohan has made statements saying that she isn't comfortable with herself, and doesn't like the way she looks. She hates her red hair and even her freckles. Not liking who you are as a person can cause people to act out and not care or take care of themselves, which Lindsay has done a lot. Lindsay was also always pressured to do her best in the spotlight and was always trying to be perfect to impress people even her family. Her father Michael even has a lot of problems, like being a sex abuser and even a alcoholic. Growing up around these things and this life could be the main cause to why Lindsay is the way she is and acts the way she does.

As a child, Lindsey Lohan started off as a child whom was in th buisness, She was and model then an actress. She came from an broken home. Her father is a sex abuser. As a child, kids dont view their parents in such a bad way, but growing up your personal view might change. I belive that dealing with such things could damage her mentally especully! Lindsey Lohan probably has been through alot, and i believe that her chuildhood has a huge impact on the way she is now.

Lindsay Lohan started off as a child star without a sense of childhood at all. She broke into the hollywood lifestyle young, and never really knew what it was like to grow up like a normal child. She in turn grew up to live a very abnormal lifestyle. One entertained with drugs sex, and lude behavior. If I were a psychologist I would attribute Lindsay's behavior to her lack of normalcy as a child.

It is very easy to look at the choices people make in their lives and say that they are crazy and messed up by looking at all of the bad decisions they make. No one in the media focuses on the positive things in celebrities lives. They also don't focus on the things that pushed Lindsay Lohan to the edge. Lindsay Lohan started performing at a very young age. I think that she became accustomed to the attention she was receiving. I think that because she is not doing anything that will get her positive attention like movies and t.v. show appearances, that she is trying to get attention anyway she can. I also believe that she uses drugs and alcohol to cope with the pain of the abuse and neglect that she feels from her family. She had to be very responsible at a very young age so she is now using thias time to be reckless. Her father also has a problem with substance abuse.  She should take responsibilities fro her actions, but her parents should also take some responsibility in the way they raised their child and the examples they set. Parents are our first teachers so she follows after her father and mother.

 

[Asia Carraway]

Lindsay Lohan is a brought up child star in a once broken home. In lindsays early adult years she been in quite some trouble in the past few years in and out of jail. She has a substance abuse problem that could soon end her career if it continues. Lindsays two parent have been seperated for some time during her childhood. Theyre currently getting a divorce. Also im almost certain she didnt have a normal childhood growing up as an young star. All of these things could have possibly affect her in a great way. Everyone can be so quick to judge on the outside because its the easiest to do. Especially when the next is doing bad they love to throw salt on someones name to make themselves bigger and better than her. Although what ever lindsay has been through in her childhood doesnt justify her late behavior, there should be someone with an helping hand instead of criticizing her every move.

[Danyelle Dimaculangan]

Lindsay Lohan started at a young age being very popular and making a lot of money. She is a very troubled young lady and she choose the wrong path to do down. I personally think that her life is messed up but yet I am not the one to judge. Although Lindsat Lohan can easily make another decision, one of those are could have been getting help. She could have been trying to find a way out a way to relieve her stress. Then again she could just be trying to do what everyone else does. or someone could have introduced her

Lindsay Lohan is messed up, and she is acting this way, because she
doesn't care.

[Samantha Nuytten]

Lindsay Lohan is an actress/ singer. She is acting this way because of the way her life is going. Being a celeberty people honor you and do what you tell them to, and everyone looks up to you. Well sometimes all that attention can go to a persons head witch is where she is at right now. She thinks she has all this power when she dont. She in her mind set thinks she can do whatever she wants to without any conscicqunces. This makes her life, ego and personality get out of hand. That is why her behavor is so bad.

Lindsay Lohan is a normal girl with a troubled past and abusive family past. she has also been through alot. Because of the stress from her careers she may want to find a way to escape from the drama and the rumors that the press are all publicizing about her and her life. however her escape to may be drugs and alchohol instead of something rational. She may be doing those things in order to get attention and let people know that she needs helps and is out of control.

[Jada Mumin]

Lindsay Lohan is a trouble star. she may be acting this way because of what she went through in her past. People with an abusive background are usually a little messed up, and have troubles adjusting to the real world. She has trouble because most likely during her parents 2 divorces they had, she was not payed attention to and she now feels abandoned and is trying to get attention now.
