Justin Bieber
19-year-old pop star Justin Bieber, recently did an interview with
Teen Vogue, in which he lashed out at critics, rumors and people with
ulterior motives. Bieber told the magazine, "I don’t need a
bunch of friends to make me happy. I get good vibes from people all the
time, and I probably could get along with them and be their friend, but
now I just don’t trust anybody. Literally, my phone never rings. I
only have, like, four people that I keep in contact with. I don’t
need a bunch of friends to make me happy. I just need the people close
to me that I love, that’s all. They don’t see me as Justin Bieber,
but just see me as Justin."
Isolating one's self and limiting one’s personal circle to four
people is not a good idea. It’s how the late Michael Jackson became a
drug addicted recluse. It’s okay to have friends, but choosing the
wrong ones, such as rapper Lil Twist, has brought Bieber more trouble
than he bargained for.
Lil Twist, Justin Bieber and Lil Za
Bieber’s had a rough year and is currently the subject of a
criminal investigation in California, with a local sheriff in Los
Angeles recommending charges be filed against him for threatening and
spitting on his neighbor. Bieber reportedly snapped at his neighbor who
told him he can’t drive his Ferrari up and down the street so loudly.
Bieber reportedly yelled at his neighbor, "Get the f**k out of
here. I'm gonna f**king kill you."
Bieber’s break up with girlfriend Selena Gomez is now being blamed
for his angry, erratic behavior. However, it should be noted, Bieber is
behaving like his friend Twist, who is confrontational and wild. Twist
is the one egging him on and it's causing serious problems. Prior to
Twist, he did not behave in this manner.
Bieber needs to ask himself what he’s getting out of his
friendship with Twist. Good advice? No. Someone to keep him out of
trouble? No. Someone to encourage him to go good and right in life? No.
So what exactly is the purpose of that friendship.
Friendships are supposed to be built on honesty, respect, loyalty
and human decency. Not someone using you for your name and what you
have in your bank account. Ask yourself this, if you weren’t rich and
famous, would Twist, who runs with some hardcore people, talk to you.
