How reality TV stole my childhood | Jack Osbourne

[@ThorPalsson]

Never did I imagine Jack Osbourne would become so inspirational

[@kzrlgo]

Please elaborate. He never had to work or face any of the real challenges most people do. He has everything to live for, more than most people believe. He had a support group with resources that intervened and were all too aware of drugs, had experience with addiction and didn't judge him. He stopped being a junky and started enjoying the very comfortable life he was born into. So... please elaborate.

[@AnnieDog-arfarf1]

It was sad watching that household. So glad he’s become an adult capable of self-reflection. I wish him well.

[@Burglecutter]

Seems like an intelligent and good person. ANYONE can get addicted to opiates. They're highly, highly addictive.

[@milliamp]

Fame is so unhealthy for children. Look how many child stars have had issues in adulthood.

[@Teabonesteak]

Nepo babies

[@SmugAmerican]

Tbh, I feel like more people deal with this problem in adolescence and their 20s than do not, but it's always very public when a famous child deals with it.

[@karlispec5]

it's so good to hear from him personally and to know that he is going through his life with ease :)

[@Baloobear5501]

Imagine you have a kid, immediately put him on a tour bus and infront of cameras for the world to see, the kid develops addictions and has suicidal tendencies, then you tell them what a disappointment they are to the family. That's some parenting.

[@Yucaipawatchdog]

No shit.

[@truesimplicity]

Anonymity is underrated... Notoriety has its very own dark consequences as seeking fane will more often than not turn into infamy.

[@karlispec5]

very well said 👏🏾 criminals understand this idea Very Well LoL. what i wrestle with understanding is the "suicidal ideation" even the anonymous wouldnt necessarily prefer to perish without some level of infamy (based on human behaviour on the daily)

[@Lizzy43645]

You look great Jack! I’m sorry this happened to you and that we were all a part of it but so happy you’re doing well.

[@josiahamaze]

Jack was always the smart one

[@Olando89]

Happy he is here. You probably helped somebody out there by making that video.

[@frankstrawnation]

Watching this video I couldn't help thinking "and what about his sister? Is she fine today?"

[@martinzonnenberg3242]

Wow, he is very clear, well spoken, truly knows himself and the diversity he went through actually serves him well!

[@HIDNotfound]

Jack is looking great.

[@SolaceEasy]

Being rich and a president of a business does wonders for the complexion.

[@westerling8436]

Multiples sclerose

[@justynap5411]

If you read about addiction and what are its usual psychological causes, it is clear what happened in this family. People who get so addicted were usually neglected and abandoned in their early childhood (they don't even remember it). The addiction also appears in families which have problems with solving problems. When an issue arises, they escalate it, instead of resolving it. And those parents who created the problem in the first place are so irresponsible to blame their kid for everything, saying "we are so disappointed with you" instead of looking in the mirror and realizing it's them, they caused it because they are bad parents, the kid only shows the symptoms of family not working properly. Best of luck to him! Hope he fixes parenting mistakes in the next generation!

[@iiyyxxnn]

Those events are the reason for only a very small precenage of addictions. There are tons of other negative things that can happen growing up.

[@TartempionLampion]

How are such parents not totally ashamed? What was the marketing plan here? To have a kid commit suicide live on a TV show? It's beyond to see so many "parents' selling their kids on social media, and that's the new normal... It's child prostitution and should be punished as such. (Personally, whenever I stumble on such a video on any social media I immediately block the channel)

[@ellie698]

Sharon Osbourne is shameless. She prostituted her own family for 💰

[@DominantColors]

The fact that he lucked out and survived it all and is now a happy father is proof that the universe unfolds exactly as it should? What? What about all the people who die from drug overdoses or get cancer or are in car accidents? Was that how the universe was supposed to unfold as well?

[@kasondaleigh]

Exactly what I thought. He was also born male and rich, so that’s a huge advantage right from the start.

[@DominantColors]

@kasondaleigh Lol, yeah. Boy the universe has a tendency to work out for people whose net worth is in the hundreds of millions. What a doofus.

[@SecretAgentBartFargo]

He never asked to be famous or wealthy. He was born into it, and there's nothing he could have done about that. That's all because of his father. He's just explaining his story because someone asked him.

[@DominantColors]

​@SecretAgentBartFargo So? He still shouldn't be saying that the universe unfolds the way it's supposed to. He got lucky.

Bad parents, they were responsible for you when you were a minor, but ambition, money, and fame put you in a place that is not good for any child. I'm glad you're better now, and that you can reverse the treatment with your children, taking care of them as you should.

[@jean-pierrep6844]

Beautiful Jack. I resonate with your share. So much respect

[@user-oj3vv1yz5w]

Getting famous when you earn it and have been working for it for a long time has a chance of going well. Being a kid in front of camera to be laughed at by millions and being dumb enough to not understand that's what you are will always go bad.

Boo hoo and BLAME YOUR PARENTS FOR SUBJECTING YOU TO THAT, not reality TV.

And what about the viewers? They literally buy the reality TV shows and the child abuse. Without the public asking for more, no corrupt parents will get an incentive to prostitute their children and be rewarded for it instead of jailed.

[@Silverspy97]

@@volkoff6357 most... Again, quit thinking your world view is reality. Life is never so simply defined. Things aren't as black and white as you want to make them. Jack Osborne had lived a life you've never even considered or imagined. You judge purely from the perspective of him having money and fame, as if that is his only defining quality as a human. Open your mind a little.

[@franzvanjulio5523]

And he had a choice in taking part of this during his childhood, right? No, he didn’t. Nonetheless, he took accountability for himself starting at 17. People all over the world go through pain as it’s simply post of the human experience. It will look different for everyone of us. To have true empathy be for him we can have empathy for all others.

[@icedcoffee8561]

The fame is too much... but i think it can be healthy to have unlimited freedom as a kid. I had that sort of freedom, by the time i was 18, i was over partying. A lot of the "good" kids i went to school with have since ODd or worse.
