Why do so many child stars end up drug addicts?

no.

'and by the time they're still children or teenagers they've already done everything else so that the only thing left for them to do IS drugs'

Tell that to the child stars who have gone on to other things and careers and are very happy. We don't hear about those child stars,so it only seems like they descend to ill-fate

Those child stars most likely had REAL parents who had their best interests in mind instead of pimp parents who essentially whore them out to every agent, every camera, etc., anything to get more and more money like a lot of them did and still do. When you have parents like that who are actually looking out for you and giving a damn about you, they are not going to be too likely to let the dealers or whoever gets them started on drugs first have access to you.

you certainly have a negative view of these parents. These children want to be in show biz and not necessaily "whored" out to be exploited by their parents. Just because these ex-child stars turned to drugs doesn't mean their parents were negligent or used them,as in any other situation in life. Just as many children of who are not in show biz turn to drugs and other destructive lifestyles.
When these child stars were having a good time during their fame,they certainly were grateful to their parents then,weren't they.
As I said before, we only hear about them because there were famous. Newspapers have no reason to advertise about John Doe

Look at Gary Coleman his parents whored him out he had to SUE them to get some of his earnings back. Dana Plato died young it is sad what is happening to Culkin.

really, you put MC in the same bracket as the other two? What awful thing happened to MC?
He says in hos bio that turns down roles because he doesn't wish to work. So,what is sad? He is worth millions of dollars,and chooses to shoot heroin. If he was shootng heroin and it was wasn't MC, would it still be sad?

Many child stars become drug addicts while they are still famous/successful, so your theory alone hardly works.

One important reason is that they are often given drugs when they are very young.
