Why do so many celebs get into drugs?

Question

A kid was taking an astronomy test, and the question was "What do you call a collection of stars?". He responded with "Celebrity Rehab Clinic".

All kidding aside, why do so many celebs get into drugs?

Answer 1

because they have the money. and basically they can.

Answer 2

Most celebs are narcissistic and self centered. They crave being the center of attention and do just about anything to get there and then to stay there. Drugs are just a part of the sickness. That's part of the reason why their marriages usually don't last very long. They're too deeply in love with themselves to notice anyone else.

Answer 3

Probably because they can afford it. And most of them are already into it... and celebs are almost all they are around, not only that I think eventually I would find it extremely annoying to have people screaming at me when I walked out the door, and had pictures taken of me that I didnt want taken, things like that.... And im sure when they are working there are times that they have to stay up all hours of the night to work, with no breaks.....sounds extremely stressful to me

Answer 4

It is hard enough to have one personality...but when you play with several you get lost...the majority of celebs dont have a good self esteem to begin with and it is really a meat market..you have to give up so much more than you know and by the time they "make it" they realize their lives are the worlds entertainment and nothing is private any longer...nothing..you are under a giant microscope...with everyone looking..and people are not known to be kind...so they try to escape..all of it, but it is to late..most of the movie world is plastic..and you have to give up your soul if you want to play it all the way...all for our entertainment...I used to live around several of them....it really is a sad thing to watch..

Answer 5

They weren't raised properly and they can afford drugs and sell them for more money. They lose touch with themselves to be honest and play a role and drugs is the only source to get them to stop feeling the pain of being fake as hell lol

Answer 6

Prolly Cause of the Parties they go to and they are exposed to all of it!
They think that they are "Higher Up" then the average people that actually have to work for a living and so with that said they think that, the othorities want be able to do anyhting to them because of Money!

Answer 7

They make a lot of money, and basically because they can and damn near get away with it by checking themselves into a posh so-called "rehab" like Promises. There's a saying that goes, "Cocaine is God's way of letting you know you make too much money."

Answer 8

because a celebrities world is not as easy as it seems.
They have lots of so-called friends"wink,wink", their job or vocations are not normal and a great many of them have no network in place to keep them grounded.
You are always been told that you are great, your privilages and comforts are off the chart and you basically feel exempt from reality or normal restrictions.
The drugs and alcohol help them to cope because many of them feel guilty, scared or lonely.
Then the volume of each increases until they lose control.
Believe it or not the more money and fame you have does not equate into happiness.

Answer 9

They live a very stressful life. Yes they have money but they are always in the light! People are always taking pictures and they always have to present themself well to everyone. So they turn to drugs as a get away from the real world.

Answer 10

I think its because of the peer presure too look so perfect in front of the camera they have to mess up or rather get into drugs to make themselve feel better...Thier parents didnt rasie them well to know right from wrong so they get easly distracted from making the right choice...

Answer 11

Believe it or not, it's not just the celebrities doing drugs. Everyday people are dealing with the same problems. They just don't make the news.
