Top Ten Disadvantages That Come With Being a Child Star

Child star not restricted to any form of entertainment.

The Top Ten

1 Being forced to deal with the overwhelming pressures of fame at a young age

Especially if a child star is a child star just because he/she is cute. It's the mentality of giving a child work just because they're cute rather than any sort of talent and immediately pulling the plug once they stop being cute that brings a lifetime of pain.

The cast of the Harry Potter series really felt this.

2 Growing up on-screen

3 Meeting your ego

4 Friends and family wanting to leach off of you

5 Not being able to fully understand the impact it is going to have on your life

6 Having to live up to the standards of your early work

7 Making it more difficult to recognize who are your real friends and loved ones

8 People attempting to manipulate and take advantage of your age and immaturity

9 Losing privacy

10 Having to deal with jealousy and conflict among peers

The Contenders

11 Your looks will likely fade and you'll be a nobody
