2. Introduction
 Morgan Brittany is a successful actress and a conservative
political commentator with PolitiChicks.tv. Having started
her acting career at a very young age, Morgan Brittany
understands the difficulty that many child actors face when
trying to balance acting and everyday life.
While child acting is often very appealing on first
thought, several downfalls can come with getting into the
entertainment industry at a young age. One of the largest
problems that many child actors face is exposure to
drugs, alcohol, and other bad influences that often plague
the entertainment industry.

3. About Child Actors and Drugs
 Much of the support the child actors need to help them
avoid drugs and alcohol comes from parents, family
members, and other loved ones. By focusing on the positive
and discussing ways for a child to make choices that are
responsible, despite what their friends are doing, is a great
way to start the fight against alcohol and drug use in child
actors. Although there are no guarantees that a child will
stay drug free, there are steps you can take to lessen the
probability. Setting a positive example, and keeping the
child around other positive examples, may lessen the
temptation further, as does frequently building the child’s
self-esteem.

4. Conclusion
 It can also be helpful to start talking about drugs and
alcohol early in the child’s life, possibly even before they get
into acting if they are old enough to understand the
subject. Above all, it is important to be there for the child.
Former child star Hayden Panettiere has spoken publicly
about the prevalence of these temptations for youngsters
growing up within the industry and how valuable having
support from others is when avoiding these temptations.
With the proper support from loved ones, such as telling
the truth, giving reality checks, and keeping the actors
grounded, child stars are able to rise above the
temptation, stay on a good path, and become successful in
their adult lives.
