First of all, I love Britney Spears. I think that she is an amazing person with a wonderful voice who has problems just like everyone else. The poor woman has been ridiculed for everything since becoming famous, whether it’s what she wears or who she marries. I think her haters are just jealous because they aren’t beautiful, rich or famous. I also think that they are bored with their own lives so they choose to belittle a multimillionaire pop star whose problems are already magnified to the public. Maybe it makes them feel like they are better than her.

I realize that Britney has done some really dumb things and made a lot of stupid mistakes, but who hasn’t? Is everyone else in the world perfect? Britney’s flaws are made out to be worse than they really are just because she’s famous. It’s her life — she should live it how she wants. Her personal life is no one else’s business, and she has the right to do whatever she wants, whenever she wants.

After Britney gave birth to her first son, Sean Preston, people said that she got fat and didn’t take care of herself. But every single woman in this world who has ever had a baby has gained some baby weight. Some people gain more than others. Should Britney really have had to hit the gym the day she had Sean so that no one would see her without her famously “perfect body”?As far as her recent head-shaving incident — who knows why she did it? Maybe she had always wanted to do it but never had the guts or maybe she lost a bet. Possibly she’s suffering from postpartum depression or she could have a drug problem.

Whatever the reason, at least Britney is taking the initiative to get help for her problems. She is currently in rehab and also attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings regularly. Rather than just complaining about her problems, Britney is trying to better herself — not only for her benefit but, more importantly, for her children. Besides, she is one of the few people I have seen who can shave her head and still look beautiful.

I wish everyone would just give it a rest and leave Britney Spears alone. She is a sweet person who just needs some time to work her life out and get it back on the right track. She needs people to support her, want her to succeed and get better, not people to ridicule her and make fun of her for making a mistake.
