By now, we all know that growing up in the spotlight must be difficult. Thanks to former child stars like Britney Spears, drew Barrymore and, more recently, from Nickelodeon Jennette mccurdy By courageously opening up about their experiences, audiences have begun to realize the intense pressure and stress that attracting fame and scrutiny at a young age can bring.
However, realizing how these young women were mistreated in the past doesn’t always prevent young stars from being mistreated in the here and now. For example, Strange things star millie bobby brown has been subjected to online cyberbullying by the public and individuals “criticizing” your body.
While this will no doubt have affected his mental health, he recently opened up to Seduce as his September cover star to discuss how he’s coming out the other side and be real about where his head is at.
For Millie, struggles with identity and loneliness go back a long way, even before fame. “I always struggled with my own identity and knowing who she was,” she told the magazine. “Even when I was young, I always felt like I didn’t belong in every room I was in. I also struggle with loneliness and a little bit.
However, the pressures of fame have only made the situation worse. Speaking of the online hate she has received, the 18-year-old actress opened up about how difficult she has been as someone who is still growing, learning, and developing her identity. “It’s really hard to be hated when you don’t know who you are yet,” she said. “So it’s like, ‘What do they hate about me? Because I don’t know who I am. So you just start shutting down because you’re like, ‘Who am I meant to be? Who do they want me to be for them?'”
However, by connecting with family and friends and getting off social media, he explains how he started to get into a better mental health space. “I started to grow more, and my family and friends really helped me. It helped me to be able to understand that I don’t need to be anything they said I should be. I just have to develop myself. That’s what it did.”
Best of luck to Millie on her journey!
