Miley Cyrus: What went wrong?

Yet again, Miley Cyrus, former Disney doll has caused quite the stir in the news and is leaving parents questioning where her parents are.

The 17-year-old Hollywood hottie has gone from making pop-culture history to notoriety in no time flat. Like every other Disney star, Cyrus seems to be trying to break away from the overly-sweet, na've, picture-perfect good girl mold that "the Mouse" requires of it's stars. Why this persona is such a horrible thing at 17, I have no idea.

With all the Britney Spears' and Lindsay Lohans' of the world roaming around Hollywood, one would think that any parents of child stars would be fighting to keep their kids clean, sober, and innocent as best they could----which is, by the way, how Cyrus' parents first started out.

Cyrus grew up in the spotlight of her father, musician Billy Ray Cyrus (not to mention godmother Dolly Parton), so she was no stranger to fame. As she entered her tween years, Billy Ray and Miley signed on to what would become the Disney phenomenon of "Hannah Montana." It didn't take long for Miley to make it onto the map, and soon Hannah Montana was being seen on tween clothing, lip gloss, shoes, backpacks, lunchboxes and essentially every item a girl of that age could want. Parents were thrilled that their children finally had a decent role model to look up to.

Back in 2007, the family was featured in People with the cover story being "Raising a teen star (the right way!). In the article, Billy Ray said "the biggest phenomenon in all this is that the kid's been able to keep her head on her shoulders." The secret that the article revealed about how to keep a teen on track? Church. Miley and all of her siblings were required to attend services with the family each Sunday. The article also detailed how Miley felt she could tell her dad "anything" and how her mom felt that Hollywood was a dangerous place for kids. "It is so scary as a mom to see all these kids who are so whacked now," said Leticia Cyrus.
