the life of a child was not my life 𓍯 the footage of michelle trachtenberg, cameron boyce, and river phoenix hurt like a knife to the heart :( may they rest in peace i strongly believe child acting is child labor and it should be illegal. no kid should go through the scrutiny of being in the public eye, be judged on their worth by powerful directors and producers, or be the primary provider of their parents/family. i cant imagine how damaging that must all be on a growing human's mind. im definitely glad that my parents paid no mind to my childhood dream of being an actress. kids deserve to be kids
