What does celebrities like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse have in common apart? Apart from sharing the Hollywood limelight, they also share checking in and out addiction treatment centres.

But what irks me most is the media’s insatiable appetite to air these pathetic celebs’ every move. I’m sick of it.

It’s not easy being a parent these days. Parents are already having a hard time trying to keep their kids away from smoking and toddlers from McDonalds. The fact that media gets a field day publishing their disgusting pastime activities poses a social problem, especially to parents with teenage kids who might get the idea that alcohol or drug abuse is chic.
