Lindsey Lohan: A Puzzled Teenager


Life is simple yet complex at the same time. It has its share of ups and lows. It does not take into consideration one's status in society. This is the reason why a great number of individuals say that life is hard, cruel, and the like. Take for example Lindsey Lohan. Though she got a great career in Hollywood's big screen, she is badly beaten by real life troubles that come her way.

Born in New York City on the 2nd of July 1986, Lindsey Lohan is the eldest among the four children of Micheal Lohan, a former actor, and Dina Sullivan, a former Wall Street analyst. Since both parents are working professionals, Lindsey grew up in an affluent middle class family. They moved back and forth from Los Angeles and New York City.

Lindsey began her career as a model for Toys R Us at the age of three. Calvin Klein kids and Abercrombie kids followed suit. Then she also appeared in magazines, such as Vogue, Elle, Bliss, and the like. She was the face of childhood in her early years.

Lindsey's first attempt at the big screen wasn't an instant hit. She was noticed in the remake of Parent Trap when she played two roles that reunites their separated parents. But her real break out movie is in Mean Girls, where she played the leading role. She was portrayed as the daughter of two scientists residing in Africa. She moved back to the United States without any background in the schooling system, since she was home-schooled ever since she was a little girl.
Adjusting to the environment, she blended well with adversaries and friends. More movies followed soon.

Success came at a price for Lindsey. She lost the formative years an ordinary teenager experiences. She was already somebody then. She grew up fast. The consequences are now coming out one by one. She was caught driving under the influence (DUI) for more than a couple of times now. The worst came when she was caught with illegal drugs.

Lindsey, underneath all her accolades and Hollywood stature, is a good person. She just needs a little direction. Maybe her elders were too busy basking at the grace of the economic benefits that this young lady brought to them. Lindsey Lohan is a little bit confused inside.
