We leave school younger in England you are seen as an adult as soon as you left school however they were given this on a plate they were out together as a group they didn't form this band. Simon Cowell put them together they all auditioned as solo artists. But they were sooo exposed to it all sex, drugs and sex with OLDER women. Harry famously had an affair with Caroline flack who was a TV presenter much older than he was, it was quite the scandal.

    Ally Brooke released a book but it unfortunately went under the radar, but she spilled some tea about the dark side of the group. I remember one part where she stated that someone higher up tried to pressure her into having sex with him. The girls were also heavily sexualized while they were still teenagers. I'm pretty sure the moment Dinah and Camila turned 17/18 is when they pushed a more mature image on them.

    Louis never wanted to be the leader, he fought with Liam over character differences, I think. And it’s absurd that he considers himself the least important member when he was the glue of the group. During the interviews you can see how he cares that people are involved and often tries to play and make jokes to make sure that the guys don’t get bored but have fun. He wrote many of the songs of the band and his voice is so particular. I think actually he was the leader but not a frontman, the kind of leader who acts behind the scenes. And not only Harry but also Louis was forced to be painted as a womanizer, I remember there was a time when he was papped every night at some nightclub and then he took several girls to hotels (everything was so clearly orchestrated to be ridiculous)

This just shows how groomed and trapped the guys were when they were in this band (which I was and still am a fan of btw as someone who grew up in that era and I didn't even know about some of this it is truly horrifying and disgusting no teens should ever go through this).

The more these industries give in, the more entitled and horrendous these toxic, obsessed stans become. ED, sexualization of minors, abuse, overworking.. That's why these artists who are famous from a young age grow up thinking they should stay in the spotlight.

    Children are not developed enough to have these strict demanding schedules or be in the industry. My family works in the industry and all of us kids wanted to be “famous” like Miley, Hilary, Lindsay etc….we were never allowed, we were allowed to take singing lessons and acting classes but not allowed to enter the industry. I remember us kids being so annoyed that we had connections to at least do SOMETHING but weren’t allowed. Now as an adult I am SO thankful I wasn’t. The ONLY responsibility a child should have is to be in school. I understand these kids want to chase their dreams and be “famous actors/singers” but it’s literally not natural.

    Okay so I remember seeing them on X-Factor as I was a teen at the same time, but not into them. Recently started listening to their music fr such excellent talent and so much that they had and could have done with them, if only they treated them better.
    It's SAD. I feel so bad for them. They were manipulated, put into situations they shouldn't have. The adults / businessmen around them who should have protected them, didn't.
    Imo, Zayn and Liam were the best vocalists, and it's sad Zayn seems to have shyed away and Liam spiralled out of control.
    I wish only the best for these guys cos fr Simon's team / Simon's treatment of them is awful.

    What amazes me is when kids first start off in Hollywood the parents send them off with strangers. They teach their kids to never talk to strangers yet they hand them off to one. Forgive my memory but I faintly remember one of the moms crying and saying how she had to let one of them go across the country to live/tour for months.

    So many bands/artists all around the world (especially those who started young) are now coming forward with their stories and those stories all have one thing in common - ironically, they felt the worst while being at the peak of their career. The power imbalance between teenage, highly impressionable musicians and their teams is so wrong as well. Members of some of my favourite bands have spoken about the most horrific things they had to endure for years that we, fans had no idea of. Something has to finally change for the better. Psychological and legal support should be a must. It's so cruel that managements/labels put money above health and well-being of their artists.

    Sloan, they actually play the lyrics into the ear piece, not a projector in back. Many artists do it that way. . . Some dont know their own lyrics.. Others it just helps them stay focused on which song while preforming. Kindof nifty, Lil Wayne has written so many songs that he honestly can get confused and not fully remember each song, so he gets the lyrics thru the ear piece. Its quite interesting.

It's sad to admit but it's the truth.
    I would like the directioners to understand this and stop wanting to force a meeting or whatever.
    And I'm not saying that they hate each other or something, maybe some members are still very close friends, I don't know, but clearly they are not interested in 1D anymore and they just want to create their own career without thinking about what happened before although that brought them a lot fame.

    The interviewer with Liam at the start has recently been involved in a massive scandal in the uk. Might be worth watching out for Phillip with the UK stuff as he was everywhere

    sloan, thank you for speaking about this. I've been a fan of 1d and their solo careers forever, I think they're the reason why I'm here typing this, because I always dreamed of learning English so I could speak to them someday! it breaks my heart how I'm going to be the same age they were when all of this was happening through them. and they were never given the respect they deserved as a band:( but now they have the chance to do whatever they feel passionate about. I still think about their reunion, but I'm not sure if they would do it, at least not now, but in a couple of years, who knows.

      Your English is really good by the way! I'm a native/first-language British English speaker, and understand every word you wrote. Well done for studying so diligently🌟
