Justin Bieber opens up in new post: "It's taken me years to bounce back from all of these terrible decisions"

Earlier this year, we reported on a long, vulnerable Instagram post wherein Justin Bieber said he was going to take a break from music to focus on “repairing some of the deep rooted issues” with which he’s long struggled. Now, in another long, vulnerable Instagram post, the legendarily obnoxious pop star has shared the fruits of his reflection, which read much better than his past public apologies. They, in many ways, reflect what many have said about child stardom, which is that it’s dangerous and wildly stupid to surround any child, no matter how talented, with sycophantic predators and gazillions of dollars.

“You see I have a lot of money, clothes, cars, accolades, achievements, awards and I was unfulfilled,” Bieber writes in the post. “Have you noticed the statistics of child stars and the outcomes of their life? There is an insane responsibility and pressure put on a child who’s brain, emotions, frontal lobe (decision making) aren’t developed yet.” He goes on to admit that he “never even learned the fundamentals of responsibility” and turned 18 “with no skills in the real world, with millions of dollars and access to whatever I wanted.” Who wouldn’t resist arrest and piss in unattended buckets?
