Question by mysterygirl: Films about teens caught up in drugs and alcohol?
Im going to be playing a role of a teenage girl (mid-late teens) who is neglected and a bit abused (not physically or sexually or anything!) and she turns to drugs and alcohol to “help”. I already saw 13, and i think that was a really good movie, especially for something to relate to. I was wondering if anyone knew any other movies like that, not comedies though, def. dramas. but, it can be a bit of a feel good movie at times. any suggestions would be great! thanks a ton!

Answer by BillieJean10
I’m sure they’ve done a lot of good things with their money but they don’t flaunt it. Also the press don’t like to show any good a celebrity does, Michael Jackson was always donating millions and helping countless charities and they rarely mentioned it. 🙂

Answer by ♥Little Mons†er♥™
Yes, they have contributed to society.
I’d have to get better informed of what they have done to say if can do more, but judging by the quick research i just made, they haven’t done much and they sure have a HELL LOT OF MONEY.
artists with less money do more that some of the wealthiest do, i guess they’re just selfish but they’ll get their karma
