VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton
Script Written by Carly Comtois
The life of a child star is a tough one, and many of them continue to have a tough life when they turn to adults. Unfortunately, many child stars don't even make it to becoming an adult due to everything from drug addiction, to suicide, tragic freak accidents like Star Trek's Anton Yelchin. Many child stars suffer from depression, and turn to substance abuse to deal with the pressures of being a celebrity at such a young age.
