Are boy bands and boy musical stars just disastrous ideas?

So many of them end up druggies or drunks, or else they are ripe victims for sexual abuse.

Or in Aaron Carter's case, all of the above.

*I meant to say "boy music stars," not "boy musical stars."

I was thinking of Aaron Carter and Justin Bieber... not Mark Lester from "Oliver!"

Fame is a hell of a drug.

I think it depends on the background the person comes from to an extent. Sudden money and fame may be worse for lower middle class or poor young people. If you grew up in a trailer park or "council house" maybe you are less equipped to manage money and fame than someone whose parents were both present and were providing a comfortable lifestyle. I have no idea if that tends to be true or not, but it is just a feeling I have, and even then I am sure there are exceptions. Could be irrelevant in the case of the 1D members as I have no idea what any of their backgrounds are.
