Summary: This article talks about the challenges in being a child actor in modern times. Back before social media was around, there were far less issues these kids had to deal with. Now, they are being forced to grow up quicker because adults and other kids are making inapropriate comments about them, despite their young age.
1. Some challenges child actors have include extreme criticism in the media. This means that child actors could be called awful things with little to no censorship. Another issue is that magazines tend to sexualize these kids and treat them like adults. Interviewers ask awkward and not age-appropriate questions. A big problem is money. Parents have control over most of it, but once these kids turn 18, they're in charge of it, and often the parents haven't spent the money well.
2. Some shows and movies mentioned in the article were Stranger Things, Matilda, Modern Family, and Game of Thrones. I've watched Stranger Things, and I've read the book that Matilda was based off.
3. I don't "binge watch" TV shows because it's not very healthy. But one show I watch when new episodes come out is The Good Doctor, on ABC, I think. I also watch the shows Friends and Seinfeld. I watch reruns of those shows often because the shows ended years ago.
4. I get my entertainment from TV channels usually. But I watch the occasional Netflix movie or show, and I also use On Demand. I don't have Hulu or Amazon Video.
5. I watch my entertainment on my TV at my house. Sometimes I'll watch movies on my computer since it has a DVD player you can plug in. The only entertainment I watch on my phone is YouTube.
6. I definitely wouldn't want to be a child actor. I'm not really into theatre and acting. And living in 2018 and the era of technology, I wouldn't want all that attention from people around the world. I don't think I could handle the criticism and attention. When I was younger I wanted to be on TV, but now that I know what comes with fame, I don't want it anymore.
7 & 8. No, I've never tried to reach out to a Hollywood star. I have an Instagram account, so I follow some actors I watch on TV, but except from the occasional comment on a post, I don't communicate with them. There's so many people who follow them that it'd be impossible to get a message through. I don't have anything important to say to people I don't know anyway.
