The arrest of Justin Bieber sparked a ruthless teenage revolution. “#FreeBieber” and “#WeWillAlwaysSupportYouJustin” trended on Twitter immediately after his arrest and his admirers seem oblivious to the consequences of his actions.

Although his fans’ support for the pop singer suggest that Bieber was being wrongfully imprisoned for a simple speeding ticket, he was actually charged in the Miami Beach jail under charges of driving under the influence, driving with an expired license and resisting arrest “without violence”, according to police records. Bieber even admitted to drinking copious amounts of alcohol and smoking marijuana prior to his drag racing incident, on Thursday, Jan. 23.

So why is Bieber an exception to the law?

In essence, he’s not. Bieber was stilled forced to go to jail, took a standard mug shot (albeit photoshoot-esque), and was forced to pay a small bail in comparison to his net worth. However, the outraged cries of “fallen heroes” and “unfair treatment” can be heard throughout the nation by many a teenager.

Therefore, what are we teaching our juvenile daughters that they believe it is acceptable to behave in reckless, irresponsible, and simply immoral behavior? And why do they think it is okay to continually idolize an ignorant boy who put himself and others in life-threatening danger?

According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), “Every day in America, 28 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes.” Fatalities due to drunk driving irrevocably change any family dynamic. Parents, siblings, spouses, and children all have to deal with the repercussions of DUI-related deaths. The pain is intensified if the individual that died is not the drunk driver responsible.

Justin Bieber is not a hero. He does not fly around the world and save innocent civilians from evil archetypes. He is human and everyone makes mistakes. But, every other human that makes mistakes, deals with the repercussions, regardless of their societal status.

No amount of money donated to children’s hospitals or animal shelters will reduce the danger that Bieber put himself and others in, when he made the conscious decision to involve himself in multiple illegal activities.

This is not the first time that he has involved himself in less-than-condonable behavior or careless actions and if he is released without true consequences, this will not be his last.

Bieber’s superstardom catalyzed at a very young age, where he had to make adult decisions that were too advanced for any thirteen-year-old, especially one in the public eye.

He was coddled and not fully taught the moral standards that any functioning member of society must know. His teenage parents, who tried, were not prepared to cultivate the talent that their son had to offer.

If Bieber were really broken down and regretful, like Beliebers claim, I doubt we would find him relaxing on the beaches of Panama, with little care for his actions.
