So, apparently he tried to get into a bar to celebrate Justin Bieber's birthday, but was not allowed in, because he is only 14.
Where the heck are his parents, and why are they allowing their 14 year old son run around the world attempting to get into bars at the age of 14?
Next thing we will see is this boy on drugs, entering rehab, because he obviously has no parents in his life actually spending time with him and trying to raise him properly.

Tells you all you need to know.
Look at the Affleck children, happy, clean looking, contented and not dragged around the country to suit either parent.
I wasn't actually comparing the parenting styles, as I have no clue what goes on in their homes, and how the kids are raised.
I was just commenting on the lack of media backlash over this. A clearly underage child is trying to get into a bar, yet not one media outlet calls out the parents. Had it been in fact the Brangelina kids, the backlash would be a full on media circus.

He can be at the Believe concert, no problem there. But when a 14 year old attempting to go to a bar, and starting trouble with the security is the issue here. 14 year olds may want to do all these things, but they are illegal for a reason. 14 year olds (and most time many adults even) cannot handle the life style.
As for Brangelina and allowing their kids to dress how they want: as long as they are properly covered, they are clean and seem healthy, it is no one else's business how they dress.
I don't think it's the lifestyle or the normal/abnormal childhood that children have that dictates how they react as teenagers but a combination of parenting and also the child's personality. Teenagers have been rebelling since the beginning of time and plenty of kids from "normal" backgrounds go off the rails.
But you were not several thousand miles away from home, I presume!
Exactly.
There is HUGE difference between 14 and 16, though. And the kid is traveling the world with no parents around at all, at age of 14 that is really not acceptable.
Will Smith is in London. He is with his father.
Thank goodness for that, I was wondering, too.
Will Smith needs to have a word with Bieber.
If the stories in the press are true, then it's suprising the authorities haven't stepped in...or is it because he is a 'celeb'?
What I find really offensive is the way Westwood - age 55 - has to behave like he's 'down wiv ver kids'.
ETA - just found this. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-389880/The-phoney-cynical-world-Ali-Gs-role-model-.html
Westwood really is a weird bloke.
In 1990 plenty of 14/15 year olds were going into the local gay bar. I was 17.
I can't see how it was any different.
They weren't the kid of an internationally famous Hollywood star whose actions would get him in the redtops.
That's the difference.
How do you know they are not? Pole dancing is no different to gymnastics. It is good for the body.
Pole dancing is in the main a sexual thing, used by dancers usually half or fully naked.
Not something any 11 year old should be encouraged into doing.
