How Justin Bieber Survived His Tough Childhood

Justin Bieber Family

The superstar had a troubled upbringing, but his BFF Ryan Butler’s family stepped in to help raise him right!

Justin Bieber is turning into a gentleman, and he credits his manners and disposition to his ‘other father and mother!’

Justin, 17, grew up for several years with Martin and Sharon Butler when his birth mother Pattie Mallette needed support, the Daily Mail reports. Along with their son, his BFF Ryan Butler, a support system was created that saved Justin from a difficult upbringing.

After all, Justin was born to Pattie when she was just 17 and in a relationship with Jeremy Bieber, a local carpenter with an assault record. Needless to say, Pattie needed plenty of help raising her child, and the Butlers assisted with “additional parenting.”

What do you think, HollywoodLifers — are you so happy Justin has such a great support system?

I don’t believe in those things Mariah Yeater talked about and I don’t get why she chose Justin is it because he is fameous healthy rich or what? I really wan’t this case to be over no matter what people say I will always stand up for Justin, Justin is my favorite singer in the world I see him as my idol my inspiration and this lady (Mariah Yeater) She came into Justins life when he was happy and I just don’t get it why Justin? I keep asking my self why him? I support Justin so much on this and of course I support he’s girlfriend too (Selena Gomez) They’ve inspired me and I won’t let them be like this for there rest of there lifes. I don’t wanna remember if Mariah Yeater won this case and so many people will be so dissapointed and hurt so I just hope that people see this and agrees with me. Justin if I was you I would do anything to get the ´best lawyer to support I’ve never been in a case before and I haven’t seen the police station, only when my school and me and my dad visited it… I am so dissapointed at this woman ( Mariah Yeater) Justin is happy right in this moment he has a beauteful girlfriend (Selena Gomez) a wonderful family crew friends actually I can say he has everything that he needs, and people don’t see that so if I knew that freaking lady (Mariah Yeater) I would just make her stop and just stop saying all these stupid things that she’s done for Justin. Justin is never gonna have sex with somebody that he doesen’t love so I just don’t get how stupid that human being could be! So if I was Mariah I would stop all the madness!

Tough childhood? Oh c’mon! My parents split up when my mom was still pregnant and she raised and supported alone. I also never had friends and my childhood wasn’t tough, it was normal… and he says his childhood was tough? Oh poor little Bieber… Oh please he’s a billionaire!

Lies. I know them and the family. The reporter from Daily Mail took it all out of context and made up lies. He stayed with them maybe 3 times overnight ever. He hung out there sometimes. Pattie raised him herself, not her parents. Jeremy was around but he didn’t live with him. She never took a night job and she definitely taught him please and thank you and how to use a freaking fork. Ryan is his best friend and Martin coached him. Thats it.

I am sure this is very true since These nice people have been always in his life and around him. They just never talked about it before the fact that there was no need for that.

They are very nicely defending Justin against this Mariah liar. They have a very good point to make.

Justin always talked about his childhood. He never hid it.

Oh wow…A white kid from the suburbs, sounds real tough, having reached fame at around 14 and all. I also don’t think this is true. If it was it would have been mentioned long ago (for marketing of course).

how very cynical and racist of you. newsflash, not all white kids got it easy- whether they’re in the burbs or in the city. and, newsflash, that you never heard of this before doesn’t mean it hasn’t been said. his early childhood has never been a secret. that he has had the fortune of fame since he was 14 doesn’t change anything that came before it. stop being so jealous of the “haves” and go get your own instead of complaining about others.

Anyone who becomes a millionaire at 14 does not have a “hard childhood.”

Please.

They can. You are so naive. Say If a child was physically, or sexually abused up until the age of 14, then got help, does that instantly mean he didn’t have a hard childhood? Just because Justin got somewhere in life and became successful, does not mean he can’t have emotions like the rest of us. You’re in no place to judge what kind of childhood he had. Please.
