''I'm not perfect, in fact I'm no where near it, but teenagers like you and I; we make a lot of mistakes in life, from the smallest kind to the life altering kind. I know that millions of young people all around the world are looking towards me as a positive role model, maybe they want to be like me, maybe they imitate everything I say or do, maybe they think that whatever I do, it must be cool to do the same, but truth is, sometimes even I do the wrong thing's, I mess up too, I say thing's I shouldn't, I do stupid thing's and I know almost everything I do is going to be out there for the world to see, for them to judge and to criticize, and though my life is incredibly blessed, I have the same choices to make as you do, I go through all the thing's you go through everyday; I worry about little thing's, I get paranoid, I cry in my room, my heart gets broken, some days I want to hide away from the world and sometimes I feel alone, even when I'm always surrounded by people, that can truly be the loneliest place to be sometimes I feel no one understands me or that no one even cares, but I see the world through my own eyes, the same way as you. I know that my lifestyle is actually nothing like yours, I do thing's you can only dream of, I meet famous people on a day to day basis, I go to glamorous parties and awards shows, I'm on magazine covers, I have a team of people who can come style my hair or do my make-up, pretty much whenever and wherever I want, I can walk into a store and see something I want, and I can pick it up with out even having to look at the price tag, I'm lucky, I know that fact better than anyone. My life is incredible.
With that I'm grateful for those who support me, for those who always give me the benefit of the doubt and when I'm at my worst they still believe in me, I'm thankful for having great fans, for having them be there every step of the way, I know with out each and everyone of them I wouldn't be doing this, my dream would never have come true, it's not only for me but for them that I do it.
People think they know me, that I owe them apart of me. It's a fickle world, and the industry is tough, there are dark places out there, places I don't want to go and there are people out there who want to bring me down, people who won't think twice about stabbing me in the back, especially when I'm at my most venerable, and it hurts to think that even those who are supposed to love me most will sell me out, I can't let people into my life or into my heart, because loving someone means they have the power to destroy you, so I'm always looking over my shoulder, it's not easy knowing who to trust when I live in this bubble.
I hate that I'm constantly in conflict with being me and being the celebrity, the brand, the image, the pictures you see in the glossy magazines, being 'perfect' all the time, looking right, dressing right, having the latest hair style, the latest accessory, having great skin, being the right weight, being with the right people, the voices saying 'don't do this Lindsay, don't do that' the consistent echo in my head telling me what to do and what not to do, I have to keep my composure, I can't break down, I can't slip up because people want me to fall, they want the drama, people tell me 'keep smiling Lindsay' when all I want to do is scream inside, to cry, to lash out and be angry, to scream, to feel something real, but when the camera is on me I have to put on a smile, even if it is false, even if I do feel like crap, I hold my head up, and I just smile, but sometimes even the most talented actress can't pretend everything is ok, when it's not. Some days I flick through a magazine and I see my picture, next to another headline, more rumors, more lies, sometimes it's mediocre gossip to fill in the gaps, but sometimes it's personal, using my life to sale a magazine; I wonder if they ever think when they are writing about me, or anyone for that matter, do they realize that I feelings? Do they care? Do they ever consider what it must be like to be ridiculed, to have my world ripped apart for the sake of a story, do they ever feel guilty when they write hurtful remarks about the way I look, when they print embarrassing pictures of me, as if it's any surprise I go to clubs, get drunk or smoke a cigarette, or God forbid I make a mistake in life, I wish they'd let me be a teenager and not judge me on that one picture, they take something I said and twist it, make it into something I never said at all, what hurts most is when they bring my family into it, what right do they have, you have no idea what it's like to see your most personal moments exploited, to see those you love torn apart by the media, to not have one moment kept to your self. Don't you have memories you'd rather forget? Thing's you don't want everyone to know, pictures you'd rather burn before anyone sees them, wouldn't you be hurt if people were saying nasty thing's about you? I have no choice but to live with that everyday, over time I've learnt to grow a thick skin, but I'm a person too, I have to figure out who I am, I have to grow into my own skin and feel comfortable being me, but it's a lot harder for me to do that when I'm being watched by the world........

My oPiNiOn :
these media people really must read this to know how they have been damaging lives.... lindsay is a human being too, they should remember. under the spotlight and the glamour she goes through hard times, and all the nasty gossips and pics just makes things much more difficult. she is doing a great job though, if u ask me, pulling herself together and keeping her feet on the ground.... doesnt this article make u glad that u are her fan? learning how amazing she really is, there's some great feeling i have reading this though as u say its a sad, strong article
That article was great to read but sad in a way. Lindsay is a real person who feels like us and it's sad to think how unhappy she is at times. I've often wondered myself if those people who write and say terrible things about her ever take her feelings into account before doing so. Whatever happened to the saying " Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you". I'm sure they wouldn't want mean things said about them. Especially untrue things.
