Britney has gone to hospital... AGAIN
She's still depressed and doesn't know what to do from her life. I feel sorry for her. I don't like her music very much but I've grown up with her songs on the radio (Baby one more time, Crazy etc) and she has pretty much my age but she has already endured pregnancy, divorce, drug addiction and so on.
And the media are harassing her to no end.
What do you think? Are you sorry for her?

I never was a big fan of her music but I am sorry for her.
Mostly because she never had a childhood and it seems like she now is going through puberty.. Which I don't mean as mean thing or so.
It's a wonder that there aren't sooooo many other people like her. I mean... there are a lot of famos girls/boys who are in the media almost since day 1 and many can't handle it. I really don't wanna know how it feels to be like her. All the money is nothing worth in such a life.
The media is only bad talking about her instead of thinking about how everyone may be able to help her... I think the whole media issue makes everything more worse...
I guess I wasn't able to say what I really wanted to say about this.. my english and.. well, I'm very tired LoL. I might come back and write again later..

you expressed yourself well.
Media are like sharks jumping on the wounded victim. Why don't they just leave her alone?

Hi, I've never been a Britney fan, but now I can't help but feel for the poor girl and what she is going through. Being in the public eye constantly must be a very tough thing, let alone with all the paparazzi hanging out trying to take pitures of your privates. She is a just a young lost woman with small children and no sense of direction. The only difference between her and so many gals in a similar situation is that she has fame and money. I honestly hope that she gets the help she so desperately needs before it is too late. Anyone who has experienced a similar situation knows that it takes its toll on everyone in the family. Imagine having to deal with situation with a camera in your face. Hopefully she has hit rock bottom and now there is nowhere to go but up.

You know, I really do feel sorry for her. I've kind of come full circle with Britney - I felt sorry for her when she was still with Kevin and it seemed like she was trying to be a good mother and that he was the irresponsible one, then when her "melt-down" started I changed my mind and felt she was getting what she deserves. However, it's not obvious she's in trouble and needs help badly. I really wish the press would leave her alone for awhile and let her get her life back together. No way did I think she should have been let out of the hospital this soon. I hope her parents find a way to get her back into treatment where she belongs before something tragic happens to her.

I wouldn't trust her parents too much. They are too obsessed in making their daughters famous (even the little daughter now wants to be a singer -__-')

Well said my friend about her music and live. We have to believe that she can break thru this difficult period and get back on her feet. Some few people in the tabloids want to explore her instead of support her. She is not an isolate case, many teenagers in poor, middle or rich classes live the same and we have to learn to deal with that and do not put an additional stigma on them.

On the one hand, I don't feel sorry for her. She's made some poor choices, but I believe everybody is, or should be, held accountable for the choices they make in life. On the other hand, I think that she was pressured into making some (but not all) of these choices by people who did not have Britney's best interests at heart, but were smooth enough to convince her to think that they were. My 12-yr-old daughter used to love Britney's early stuff, but now she can't stand what Ms. Spears has become.

I agree. Britney Spears has made her own choices and should be held accountable, but she's only human. Everyone makes bad choices every now and then, but we aren't hounded by paparazzi every time we turn around. Hopefully she'll get past all this and be there for her kids.

I did feel bad for her the first few times she messed up. Now it's the umpteenth time and I don't. I feel bad for her children. She's had so many opportunities to clean herself up. More opportunities than some people and she blew it. I'm just hoping her kids don't get screwed up over it.

I don't know her. Means I only have part of the story from media. To judge anyone we have to know the person.
Britney is product of Disney studio and TV. She start so young and didn't have smart manager to keep an eye on her.
It is perfect example that fame and money are not going to make most people happy.
She was pretty and cute. Now she looks old and trashy.
Media and paparazzi are too close to her and I think they may kill her same way they kill Diana...

I feel bad for her and her illness. I know what it's like to have emotional issues and to need to get treated for them. I know what 'crazy' feels like in a sense, so it kind of strikes home and hits a nerve whenever I see anyone in that kind of distress. I do not however feel bad for her because of the papparazzi because I've seen reports of which she actually calls them before she leaves her house and what not so they can be right there to get all the shots and what not they need. If she brings that on herself, then there's no point to feel sorry for her. And really, her hanging with that papparazzi 'friend' of hers? What kind of choice is that? Not a very smart one if you ask me. He can give the media a lot of information, and probably has because he has first hand information that people would love to pay for.

I do feel sorry for her but there is a but in this statement. If she didn't want to have people know what happens to her she should never have become a star. The news does not let people who are in the singing, acting or anyplace in high positions have privacy. When you get in the lime light you have to be prepared for this kind of thing happening.

I feel sorry for her in a way because all you have to do is take a look at what is going on with the rest of her family to know why she's as messed up as she is, because they all are. But then too she keeps making a lot of the same bad choices over and over so no I don't feel sorry for her doing that because it shows she's not learning from her mistakes.

It is a very sad situation. That is why I am so hell bent on my children not doing anything in acting or singing at such a young age. They can't handle that type of maturity that has to come with it and a lot of celebraties and singers get very messed up the older they get. I do feel sorry for her, i think she has a lot of issues and i don't think that two days in a hospital is gonna fix that for her. i feel sorry more for her children though that they had to see how she acted and now not having a mother. It's so sad. God bless

I also feel sorry for her and worst for her loosing her kids. I think she has made a mess of her life and needs some real friends to pull her through this ordeal. I have not heard any of her songs but I do think she deserves siome privacy and some better friends than what she has.

i feel sorry for her, a bit but it is her own decisions and doings. she's got her fame and money but she's got no guidance i guess from her parents or maybe she's too hard headed to even listen to her mom that is why she is suffering from all these.

Unfortunately my ex girlfriend after leaving me for another guy,suffered a nervious break down so i know something about what i speak here!britney is displaying the same symtoms as my ex,crying one minute,giggling the next,screaming the next!so my prognosis is she is going through a nervious breakdown,maybe a emotional breakdown,and this requires a lot of rest,with some anti-depresent,but not for long,then as she becomes better,structure such as a routine of eating 3 meals a day,some exercise,and no papparazzies,or she may lose her self altogether!

I think it is time for her to bow out of public life forever. Take the money and run, while she has a chance to make a complete break. I can't stand the media and the lengths they will go to to get any sort of story, so yeah I feel some sympathy for her.
