Quote of the Week of October 5–October 11
"Some people think you have more privileges than other teenagers because of what you do, and that's not it at all. It's actually the opposite." - Miley Cyrus

Simple: Some people think you have a better life than anyone else because you're famous. But that is not true. It is actually the opposite.
