A girl on twitter was tweeting that Paris gave her brother her number and she seemed excited about that.Is this a rumor? I've been hearing this story for quite some time now, How do we know this is true? Did Paris confirm this herself? I simply cannot understand this scenario, it's like trying to picture a square circle. :scratch: How can this be real???
I'm beginning to think that Paris' twitter account was set up for entertainment purposes, it just seems so unreal if what I'm hearing is true.
So Paris have given out her number to another girl on twitter (_michaeljackson)
_michaeljackson is another one of her twitter friends that Paris talks to a lot.
The girl's
Paris tweeted this:
The girl's named Madina.
But none of this craziness is happening with Prince. I wonder why? Is it because he doesn't give a shit about being famous and wants to stay in the background? I hope so. I also hope Blanket will turn out more like Prince, although that seems to be the case seeing how poor Blanket hates being in public and stuff.
Did Michael over protect his kids to the point that they are so niave to give numbers out and think the world is a happy jolly place? If Prince was doing the same thing, I could see that could be somewhat the case - but Prince (so far) is extremely careful and doesn't live on his twitter page, so this is all Paris wanting fame and acceptance so badly.
You know, this girl on twitter does seem to be an MJ fan but if she and Paris really do get along and are friends, then I'm happy. Honestly, not everyone you meet off the internet is some weird and obsessed stalker, sometimes these things work out way better than you can imagine. It seemed to be a safe situation and Paris is okay, so let's look at it a little more positively instead of saying "this is the worst thing that can happen!!" and "we need to pray for them!" etc etc. Yeah, it's a bit weird hearing about it but I really don't think it's as bad as some people are making it out to be.
It could be possible that Paris is not receiving that much attention at home so she looks for attentions else where like twitter, media, ect. The Jackson family do prefer boys over girls, something that Michael and Janet confirm.

They arent friends they are ppl wanting to befriend a "celeb" like that 18 year old who met her. What 18 year old talks to and meets up with a 13 year old normally. if that was any other child it wouldnt be happening. maybe paris craves the attention cause she lost the only person who she was close to. and thats why shes doing what she is cause any other 13 year old would be well away of the possible dangers of this let alone when u are who she is. all it shows is she has no adults in het life that care. what happens when the next person she gives her number out yo is 45 year old man or someone who sends her abusive messages etc
Quoted for emphasis, also I'd like the ones who don't find anything wrong with this, or who find this ''okay'' to go out and encourage their daughters and younger siblings/sisters who are Paris's age do the same thing, I bet none of those who state there is nothing wrong with this, would EVER do such a thing.QFT.
Yet some people think it's great, because to say otherwise would be to criticise Paris' guardian and other adult relatives.
When you throw in too that at one time she was showered with attention from her dad, you can understand even more her seeking to compensate for that loss, and not even realize she's doing it. That's not even to say she's being neglected, but Paris grew up being told everyday throughout the day, she was loved, had someone to look her directly in the eye to tell her that, so she knew it, felt it. In addition, her parent read to her nightly, did improvs with her, shared her passion for art, talked to her, tried consciously to instill life lessons into her, and was just all around intently involved in HER, for HER, for no other reason than she was just Paris.
After the trial, he devoted himself almost exclusively to her and her brothers.
Even though on the surface she seems to have adjusted to not having that kind of involvement, attention, and self reinforcement, it could be so much a part of her makeup, she tries to replace it on some level.
Of course too, she's just a teen, and like all of us as teens, we explore and test boundaries. That's why it's important for an adult to set boundaries. It's doesn't seem like they are being set to the extent that should be here, and that's what's bothersome, and even scarey.
This is EXTREMELY dangerous. If it's a "safe situation" once or twice, it only enboldens her to do it more, and the results can be tragic. This is just how interntet predators get their victims, pretending to be someone they are not. And if we're hearing about this junk, devious predators are too.
Somebody in that family needs to get a clue and stop this stuff NOW.
Nope, I think you both got it all. The sad thing is, she could end up like Latoya, more or less, for the same reasons. That, tbh, scares the ish out of meBut, I could be thinking about it too much.

So? That doesn't make it any better. Some MJ fans can act pretty loon. Adults don't place themselves in dangerous situations like that let alone should a child. This is one of those issues that cannot afford to be downplayed. That said, I think Paris' twitter account is beginning to look more and more like a fake "reality" show in an online format. Some mentioned Paris Hilton however I'm getting a Kardashian style vibe from all this hoopla. I can only pray it doesn't end up that way.
My parents let me meet someone online. That person is still one of my closest friends today, and I was about 15 or 16 at the time. Fans are blowing this way out of proportion in my opinion. I'm glad Paris has a friend, my only worry is that this friend is more of a fan of Michael's than anything else, and that could potentially lead to a very awkward and not "real" friendship.
Ben;3565415 said:Thing is, no offense (lol) you're not Paris Jackson. Like you said yourself, what are the odds that this friendship is genuine? Considering the increased public exposure she gets, how many lunatics (not necessarily MJ fans btw) do you think that could attract?
1) It's not uncommon, and not everyone on the internet is a predator. I'm not saying she should make a habit out of it, but she obviously trusted and knew this girl enough for it to happen. And actually, Paris would have a lot more security surrounding her than the average teenager; she'd have a better chance of escaping a dangerous situation, and she'd have a heck lot more people looking for her if she went missing.
2) I can't even believe we have threads on Paris' twitter account and sharing all her photos, but hey that's what's happened!
3) I have a feeling that Paris has her head on straight and she's a strong girl, and she'll push through this.
1) You'd be surprised at the number of sickos online, passing for teenagers to attract attention, and make "new friends". The stakes are much higher when you are someone like Paris. For someone who has so much security, it doesnt prevent weirdos from showing up where she goes. The fact that people would look for her if something bad happened doesnt make it OK to try any kind of dumb experience out there. It doesnt mean it would not end up badly or be a very traumatic experience. That's why parents are supposed to do their jobs.
2) On this board? :blink:
3) Like you said we have no power over this. Maybe expressing our concerns is totally pointless. But I think trusting her strong head and so called maturity is an easy way to avoid all worries.
1. Where did I say that I was NOT aware of this? When I met my friend from online (who also happens to be a girl) of course my parents were wary. But I spoke with her many times on the phone, made sure to meet her at my dad's work so it was completely safe. And as I said, she's still a close friend six years on. That said, I have also run into weirdos online that have taken over my life, and I know the dangers VERY well. They are out there, and it's sickening. But I'm just saying that this situation with Paris seems not be that, the girl seems very sweet and I'm glad it worked out well. What on earth is wrong with saying that, haha! Goodness gracious.
3. It's not an "easy way" to avoid worries. Why should I sit here and worry all day long about a situation I cannot control? I am hoping the absolute best for her, and yes I do have concerns but I don't spend every waking minute thinking about it. It doesn't make me any less of a fan either - I'm a fan of MICHAEL'S and some fans think that you automatically have to carry over that obsession and whatever to his kids, which to me is a bit sickening. His children are separate people, and while I do think it's sweet that so many are concerned for the kids, in reality they not belong to us and they are not an extension of Michael.
1) Bold part makes all the difference. Thing is, we dont know if it will work out well or not. Bragging about having Paris' number online is not a good start IMO. Where did I say you were wrong with saying anything??
2) To worry is not something you control or decide. It happens. I think many people rely on Paris being strong, mature, smart or whatever, to believe she'll be fine in the future. And I think it's a bit easy to think that way. Of course I hope she'll be ok, not because she's Michael's daughter, but just because she's a kid who lost her only parent, and ended up living with people who dont pay enough attention. Sadly, she's far from being the only one in that situation.
Where did I doubt your being a fan? Where did I say you had to do/say/think anything?
Paris met this girl with a bodyguard and in a public place. How is that any different? And after I presented both sides - saying that some experiences can be good, and others bad - you still felt the need to go on about the dangers, even though I pointed them out myself.
To me it's very different in the sense that her supposed guardian or any other member of her family bothered to show up to see who that person was. The very fact your dad was there shows he thought different. Good for you. Your dad did his job.
I do apologise, I wasn't referring to you. I meant generally on this board, I get singled out as a "family supporter" and not a "real fan" because of where my opinions lay. It's frustrating, it hurts and it's really not what MJ fans should be telling each other. Just because I feel differently or not as strongly on some matters doesn't make me any less of a fan. The fact we dont agree on an issue doesnt make me suspect your love for Michael. I didnt agree with the Man himself all the time.
To me, it's not "easy" to think that way. I put my trust into the situation and I can see myself that she is a strong person. I'm looking at it from all ways, and I'm deciding to take this stance because to me, it's the best thing to do. I don't want to spend all my time on an MJ forum going on about how Paris is doing this and this person is taking advantage of her etc etc etc. Like I said, I'm not in the belief that we have to carry over our fandom for Michael to his children.
