The Untimely Death of Corey Haim

Another former child star has died, this time of an apparent drug overdose. I used to think 38 was old but now that I'm older I can truly appreciate what a waste of a young life this is. The sad thing is that it's no surprise that Corey Haim is gone. He's struggled with drug addiction and trying to find his place in adulthood ever since he grew up and was abandoned by that seductive siren known as stardom.


Being thrust into the public eye is traumatic, even for adults who know who they are and have established successful careers and relationships. It is way too much of a burdon for many adults. It is certainly much harder on children.


Kate Gosselin, are you listening???

Yes, this is so sad. Way too many young lives lost recently. Unfortunately, those who should take heed will pay no attention.
