I agree, and I am so grateful for Raven!!! Her show is great, and I love that DD loves to watch it
I also really liked a couple of Hilary Duff movies that came out a while ago, though I don't know about her newer stuff; I haven't seen any of it. But after time, they may become just like every other person (all the other girls mentioned above) used to being the center of attention. I can't say that I wouldn't be the same way if I had billions and was used to getting my way and having cameras follow me. It just goes to show that people, even beautiful and famous ones, aren't perfect and their lives really aren't so glamorous... and that is what we tell our kids when they come home with stories that other kids told them. Nobody is perfect; look inside yourself and find strength there - look up to nobody but be yourself. Love yourself, respect yourself and treat others how you would want to be treated. I don't know if it sticks because we haven't seen the hardest years of raising children yet, but I sure hope it does.
