I don't agree with what he has done, he has dona lot that I don't like. But none of us can understand the pressure he is under. His dad was there when he got arrested so if the fame and pressure wasn't enough, his parental guidance isn't much help.

His dad stood by as he sped while on drugs. Would anyone else's parents let them do that? I know Justin has been a bit of a jerk lately but he has a lot to deal with and not much help. The pills that he was on at the time were given to him by his mother, no one knows yet if he actually had a prescription for them. Maybe she didn't realise he was mixing them with alcohol and other stuff? But that seems naive. She isn't around as much anymore for guidance (I'm sure its more Justin trying to be independent than her just leaving, but he needs a strong role model).

His new friends seem to be a bad influence and will probably be around as long as the money lasts so they are no help. Scooter is off working on other projects... who is he supposed to turn to?

I know we would all like to think that if we were famous we wouldn't act like this, wouldn't get an ego, misbehave, use drugs. Well it is impossible to understand how difficult this situation is until you are in it.

You might not drive under the influence, but chances are you don't have a parental figure condoning it. You probably haven't had paparazzi harassing you since before you hit puberty. You probably aren't so paranoid about fans breaking in to record you while you sleep that you have bodyguards watch you 24/7. You likely don't have every mistake you make publicised. I know some of his mistakes are inexcusable but then there are other ones that were either trivial or genuine judgement in error.

I don't think he realised how the anne frank thing would be taken up the wrong way, I think he meant for it to be a compliment like he would be honoured if she had been a fan. I also can't imagine how I would feel if after a breakup people kept posting photos of my ex all over the place. It must be so hard to get over a relashionship when the world can't seem to get over it.

So in short, I don't agree with Justin's bad behaviour, but I think he upbringing has been messed up enough that he can't entirely help it. He is a product of our society. I could go on about this all day...
