Lindsay Lowlife

Well, I guess I have fallen victim to the pop culture beyond Rosie and her antics on The View. I will refer you to Lindsay Lowlife, aka Lindsay Lowhan.
Young Miss Lowlife, how she will be referred to here, has a very serious problem. She is an adict. To what? Fame, booze and drugs. In and of itself, no one should really care. That is her business. But over this past weekend, Miss Lowlife made her descent into Hell l every one's business.
Miss Lowlife, who is 20 years old, and already in trouble for underage drinking and a stint in rehab, was at one of her club haunts in the Los Angeles area. She had a driver, supposedly, but that did not stop her from taking off from one of the clubs with her friends, sans the "driver." That was a bad mistake. For young Miss Lowlife had a hit and run car accident. But, she knew she did something wrong for she tried to leave the scene of the crime. That, my friends, is called hit and run. She was busted by the police for drunk driving. But, ah, that was not enough for our young Miss Lowlife.
The very next day, she went out partying again. She was caught on the front page of the New York Post http://nypost.com passed out.
Where are Miss Lowlife's parents? Well, it seems that dad Michael does care and wants to talk to Miss Lowlife. Mr. Lowlife should know as he just got out of jail recently for alcohol related charges. Where is mom, Dina? Well, she is playing cover up, trying to explain to the world that Lindsay is just a misunderstood teenage girl. Oh, and she is often seen partying with her daughter. Nothing like keeping it in the family?
You may wonder, why am I so harsh on this young girl and her family?
Because they are a symptom of what is wrong in our culture today. Having a mom going out with her underage daughter and carousing used to get called a mom like that a slut. And that was not good. For some people, it is not a bad thing that Dina Lowlife is out with her daughter. After all, Lindsay is 20 years old, almost 21 and then will be able to do anything-legal-she wants. Dina is being her friend. No, Dina should have been being a mom first and foremost. And dad, well he is nothing but a hanger on and now feels remorse. I am glad he does, if it is real. But, I am not sure.
Yes, we all do dumb and stupid things when we were young, even I. But, I had parents who would tell me when I was wrong. They instilled something missing today-guilt. Yes, there is bad guilt but there is good guilt that can make you think about something you did wrong. It can make a bad choice possibly into a good decision. But without that parental guidance, a child like Lindsay grows up like she has become. And, that is a problem for society. A society in which very impressionable young girls look up to Lindsay, Britney Spears and the brain surgeon, Paris Hilton. Why they are looked up to, I do not know, but they are and all three have gone on very destructive paths and have enabling parents that do not seem to know that they are going down a very sad path.
I hope that Miss Lowlife will be serious this time as she will apparently go into rehab for a second time. Maybe for Miss Lowlife, she will have to get out of the fame and slink back into the real world for a while and realize that there are consequences for her actions. Maybe Paris Hilton will be able to share her experience as a guest of the County of Los Angeles and it will be eye-opening for both of them. I really wish both well.
If they both can kick their addictions, that will be something for young girls to look up to.
