JB - Baby, Baby, Baby

So, Justin Bieber is making the news in an unfavorable way. I've just gotta say something here. I feel for him. Yes, it's true. His problems can be summarized in a word. Ask any mother of sons. 
Nineteen
It's a brutal age for boys under normal circumstances. (Whatever "normal" is. Has anyone figured that out?) Can't imagine what it must be like in the public eye. Once again, the paparazzi rises to the negative occasion. What better to feast on than a late start at the O2?
The kid went from being a safe-for-girls-of-all-ages-to-love child star to this current sexual being. What do all the mommas do with their little girls now? Consider Michelle's pre-teen and beyond love for him... jeesh, even a pretend JB did it for her, at her fabulous Sweet Sixteen bash. Then, please ponder Chloe's one-digit adoration, as explained in a phone conversation by my Hunter, a while back:
A lifetime lived by the tender age of nineteen... 'tis not a healthy situation. Let's root for his survival, as he meanders his way through the trial-and-error years. Shall we? A downfall would be tragic. He's just a trying-to-be-a-man child.
