In recent interviews, the super-star of the moment Miley Cyrus has said her wild behavior and changes in attitude are completely healthy and are just part of her process of maturing into a young woman. But is doing drugs, dressing provocatively, twerking and stripping really a part of growing up?<\/p>\n
Born as Destiny Hope, nicknamed Smiley and now Miley Cyrus, began her career as the secret pop-star Hannah Montana 7 years ago. The hit series turned her into a phenomenon and she\u2019s been in the spot light ever since.<\/p>\n
Despite a couple of scandals, Miley has had during her career and teenager years involving leaked private pictures and drugs, in September 2012 jaws were dropped at her new pixie haircut and revealing wardrobe that unchained a whole new behavior and completely buried Hannah Montana and Miley as we know it.<\/p>\n
Miley\u2019s recent scandals, which includes her controversial performance at MTV\u2019s Music Video Awards has been a cause of concern and criticism by many and not considered normal. Her sudden hyper-sexuality, lack of impulse and control, admitted drug use and obsession for animals are not typical adolescent behavior.<\/p>\n
There is definitely no denial that former Disney star Miley Cyrus has burst out of her sweet, good-girl shell and suddenly grew up overnight\u2026 in a shocking way. The \u201cWe Can\u2019t Stop\u201d singer has continued to show a track of wild behavior that most recently included nudity, something she is now well known for. Photos from her Adore You <\/em>remix cover show the star topless riding a horse, topless in her own twitter photos, covers of magazines and completely nude in her controversial Wrecking Ball<\/em> video.<\/p>\n Continuing to add to her pattern of outrageous behaviors is her current weed addiction. In November 2013 Miley publicly lights up marijuana joint at MTV\u2019s EMA stage in Amsterdam that had millions of views. Her love for smoking has never been a big secret but even other celebrities like Whiz Khalifa worry at the amount she consumes.<\/p>\n While Miley credits growing up as the main reason for her wild ways, this sort of behavior isn\u2019t common for an average twenty-one-year-old. Although she is now an adult and able to behave as she wishes, she has a fan base of millions of girls who look up to her and that will impact on their behavior too.<\/p>\n But the real question is, has Miley really grown up or gone crazy or is this all a part of a master plan? It\u2019s become evident from pop-starts like Britney Spears, Madonna and Lady Gaga that becoming controversial is the formula to being in the public\u2019s eye and mouth. But despite the overwhelming success of her singles \u201cWrecking Ball,\u201d \u201cWe Can\u2019t Stop\u201d and \u201cAdore You,\u201d Miley wasn\u2019t nominated neither by the Grammy\u2019s or the American Music Award for her music, which leads me personally to believe this wasn\u2019t all part of a marketing strategy, but an addiction to attention and thirst for fame.<\/p>\n Although I am in no position at all to judge Miley\u2019s choices, I believe artists don\u2019t need to seek for attention and behave controversially to be recognized for their music and talent. Can Miley really call this change as part of growing up or is the pressure of being famous making her slowly loose her mind?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By VIVIAN BRAGA In recent interviews, the super-star of the moment Miley Cyrus has said her wild behavior and changes in attitude are completely healthy and are just part of her process of maturing into a young woman.
