I Whip My Kids Back and Forth..

She's the newest child sensation. It seemed like she appeared out of no where...and now she's everywhere. Willow Smith. Well, she certainly has the name of a celebrity's child. And that she is....the 10-year-old daughter of Will and Jada.

Willow has a hit song called "Whip My Hair", has starred in movies, and the Smith family has recently announced that she will be starring in a remake of the play "Annie". She will be playing Annie of course.

Whenever I see a young celebrity, and when I say "young" I mean under the age of 21, I instantly shudder. I shudder because it seems like every child star has the same old story. Think about it: Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears. Even Michael Jackson. You know how it goes.

And when I think about this, I think about Willow Smith's parents, who are also celebrities. They of all people should know how stardom can negatively affect a person. And yet.....here she is ladies and gentleman, Willow Smith.

So what exactly are Will and Jada Smith doing(they have their 12-year-old son in the business as well)? Some say it's all about making that money. They realized that they can make a lot of profit off of their dear, talented daughter. Who could resist? Well I say maybe they are doing it because they know how the industry is and they know how to protect their child. Maybe because they are in the business, they know how it works, and therefore know just how to avoid the negative affects it can have a child's life.

But....I guess we won't truly know until years go by and life runs it's course.

My words are up.
