Schizophrenia is a severe and chronic mental disorder that you have but you cannot get. Poor parenting, lack of willpower, and childhood experiences does not cause this disorder. It happens to all types of people. It doesnt matter if theyre poor, rich, famous, m pampered,had a hard life, etc. It just happens and can manifest at any point. They didnt ask for it so yeah i think Id feel some type of sympathy for something they didnt ask for. It can also be a pretty crummy disorder. I mean if were going blame someone for their mental disorder, should we blame michael j fox for his Parkinson disease or David Bowie dying from cancer.celebs are people too . Just because they have money doesnt mean it provides confort. They have to live with the effects of a dilitating and fatal disease or the effects of the medication to their body. I cant really blame someobe who by chance was given an opporunity to act in a movie kr do something they love which by chance made them famous. It really doesnt mean we should be anyless sympathetic to them. Still mental disorder do happen whether people have a cushiony life or not.

Amen. I always love these "oh, poor thing" posts about how awful it is to have people worship you, cater to your every whim, and worst of all, what will you do with all those just awful millions of dollars?
Last I heard nobody has a gun to these people's heads. If you are so "unhappy" you can always leave.

Very good point.

YAWN- if she doesn't like fame go get a real job see how DEPRESSING and how twisted she will be in a year.

. . . Who can say how a person will grow up who was a really brilliant commediane as a child and teen?
I think just about anyone desiring to be an actor or 'discovered' would succumb to the intial excitement of fame, then be overwhelmed by the realities of it.
We know 100% of all famous people will not survive fame, tho it seems 'fans' and viewers certainly expect it, and many are certainly ready to express disdain or incredulity when fame chokes the life out of a star.
A famous kid has all of the regular pressures of being a teen, and the identity crisis we all go thru, multiplied a thousand times by expectations from every single person in their life, plus millions of strangers!?
And the additional rather perverted, extreme emphasis placed on the importance of weight and
beauty is so over-the-top, PLUS a girl like Amanda was surely expected to be adorable funny at all times . . .
I'd crack too.
Pressure will burst a pipe.
Maybe some people were never really meant to be famous, and have to endure pressure and scrutiny about everything in their life from every person in their life plus millions of strangers making the most ridiculous, rude, and judgemental comments possible, who can have no clue what showbiz is about.
Maybe some famous people have to go thru fame to discover they were really just meant to have a close circle of friends who they enjoy joking & laughing with, like most infamous people have.

It's MK Ultra.

I still very heavily admire her (currently use her pic, a favorite of mine, 16_bynes_lgl from a French-Canadian site, one of her wholesomely sexiest headshots, as my Facebook profile.)

No idiot, that's not what you said.
What you said was "Millions of dollars that agents or managers want to claim control of. "
You didn't say anything about her parents wanting it
And the person corrected you, rightfully so

Her parents have guardianship of her finances. Isn't that what they wanted? Isn't that what I said? I turn my system off so I certainly wouldn't rave two paragraphs on the subject while I'm busy in the real world while you aren't.

Oh my f'ing God, how the hell would her manager and her agent be able to "claim control" of her assets, and in which court would a judge give them that control and for what reason?!

• Her parents are awarded guardianship of her and given conservatorship of her assets by the court, and I don't see that decision being revoked anytime soon.
  And the Dan Schneider rumors? Again Oh my f'ing God! You base your case solely on f'ing Internet rumors, rumors started by an anonymous writer on the f'ing "Blind Gossip" blog - you shouldn't believe everything you read on the Internet, you really shouldn't, because 95% are pure lies, 4% are "only" distorted stories, and maybe MAYBE 1% are genuine, and that's it!
  Dude, turn off your computer, yank your head out of your a$$, and try to go out in the real world for a change - It's pretty nice out here, trust me.

Millions of dollars that agents or managers want to claim control of. Tabloids that don't like her or her remarks that she refused to be a target for gossip. Secrets about Dan Schnieder that he needs to cover up. It's obvious from the continous DUI soap opera articles that the tabloids were setting her up for some type of scandal, if not Dan himself.

LOL, her net worth is roughly $4.000.000 and that's not a lot these days, and I hope she has a really good health care insurance, because it is not cheap to be treated at a mental care facility.
Her parents have been really good to her, and tried to take care of her, but as she is an adult, it is not easy to convince the authority's that she not capable of taking care of herself.

• I hope she's going to be well in the near future, and live a life as normal as it can be when you're diagnosed with a probably lifelong mental decease.

Millions of dollars and relatives that want to claim it for themselves.

YEAH.

A large portion of the United States believe the Earth is 6,000 years old too. I'll stick with the scientific community thank you.

You're stupid.

If Calimarina wanted to read a bunch of anti-science propaganda produced by non-scientists (such as attorney Wayne Ramsay), she could just head to the local Scientology center.
Wait, am I talking to Tom Cruise? Tom, is that you??

Did you even read this?

I work as a 911 operator and I can tell if someone suffers from Schizophrenia. If they are off medication they go from one thought to the next never raising or lowering their voice while you speak to them. It's as if their hearing is turned off while their lips are moving. Schizophrenia isn't some made up mental illness as you can read about the disorder from people hundreds of years ago. Their thoughts are scrambled.
Did you also know psychologists cannot agree on what a psychopath/sociopath is? What one psychologist states can be different by another. Just because the field cannot agree on mental states doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Sometimes the accuracy of the diagnosis can be at least partially confirmed or rejected by how the person responds to the drugs given.
