Wasn’t he the one who played Mouth in The Goonies?

So hope its worth it to those parents to have encouraged their children to get into the industry. The problem is when you put a kid into the industry they are surrounded by people that tell them they are wonderful. Thus their identity is falsely formed by people on the set and fans saying how wonderful they are. The problem ends when the movie is over. It is as though those kids are cut adrift and no longer feel connected to their identities, because the only time they feel connected is when they are being adored by others. Thus their identity is dependent on the actions of others. Resulting in a sense of desperation to be accepted by people so they feel okay within themselves.

Thus a drive towards drugs that separates them from the feeling of bleeding to death of knowing who they are but can’t have it validated because they can’t force people to faun all over them. Thus their parents have set up a trap door that has no other result than to open up and to drop their kids lives into a free fall of disconnectedness.

So be warned all those that are desperate to have your children excel because you never had that in your lives. Develop their Identities in God first. God is immovable he does not change and He loves them. They can not do anything to make him love them less. It is an internal identity NOT an external identity based on behavioral acceptance. Huge effect folks.
