Willow Smith Says Her Life Is Terrible

It can be a hard knock life, when you’re a celebrity kid. Just ask 17-year-old Willow Smith, who has grown up in the spotlight because of her famous parents – father Will Smith and mother Jada Pinkett Smith.

Willow Smith: My Life Is Absolutely Terrible.

Willow, Jada, Will Smith

In a recent interview, she admitted that there are moments in her life that are not pleasant.

I’m going to be completely and utterly honest, it’s absolutely terrible. Growing up and trying to figure out your life … while people feel like they have some sort of entitlement to know what’s going on, is absolutely, excruciatingly terrible — and the only way to get over it, is to go into it,. You can’t change your face. You can’t change your parents. You can’t change any of those things.

Willow admits that the pressure from the public can be unbearable.

I feel like most kids like me end up going down a spiral of depression, and the world is sitting there looking at them through their phones, laughing and making jokes and making memes at the crippling effect that this lifestyle has on the psyche. When you’re born into it, there are two choices that you have: I’m either going to try to go into it completely and help from the inside, or no one is going to know where I am and I’m really going to take myself completely out of the eye of society. There’s really no in-between.

Are you surprised at Willow’s take on fame?

    Poor kid, hope she gets help, she needs to be talking to a doctor.

      What?! Is she worried about her next meal, is she worried about not having, is she growing up in the hood, is she worried about crime in her hood or school, gtfoh so many kids have ‘REAL’ problems….

      Why does she need to talk to a doctor? The problem she said she has, is the very thing you are doing…hopping on the internet, judging and making assumptions about her. And she has to decide if she is going to live in the limelight or hid from it. That doesn’t scream I need help to me. She seems very in tune with who she is.

        I guess you don’t think you’re hopping on the net, judging. All I said was she should seek help, plain & simple but no here you come with your bulsh*t. Please go kick a bag of rocks ……….

          I did hop on the net and judge your statement. And bullshit?! Where?…because I said she seems fine and he behavior or words aren’t screaming for help. ¯(°_o)/¯ I asked a question and you failed to elaborate on why she needs to “seek help”?

    A problem is a problem regardless where you come from. She may not have survival issues that many kids face but her kind of issues are what makes those rich kids kill themselves that’s why said she needs

      Exactly!!

      Just because our problems aren’t the same, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.. I hate that one dimensional outlook most folks have.. You cannot just only see the world from your own vantage point!! I blame schools, I swear we used to learn critical thinking skills..

      So sad that we have absolutely no empathy for each other BUT expect Whitey to have some for us…

      It starts with us..

    I believe it can be tough. The world is cruel and she has resources to get the survival skills needed.
