Justin Bieber’s erratic behavior continues to make headlines (latest news is that he dropped $75,000 on strippers over the weekend) and now his mother Pattie, who seemingly doesn’t have any control over Justin, has come forward to urge fans to simply pray for her famous son. She also hints that she has seen a shift in morals and thinks Justin has been influenced negatively by those around him:
”I think so many people go into the entertainment industry with amazing Christian roots and they go in with the right morals and they get influenced somehow. I ask that people keep me and Justin in their minds. I pray for him every day.”
According to another report, Justin’s mother said that she also struggled through her teen years much like her son and hit a low point aged 17 when she discovered she was pregnant with Justin. She admitted that she decided to keep the child and believes that moment turned her life around. She asks fans to try to support Justin if he is struggling and acting out because it’s the only way to help him:
”I started self-medicating with drugs and alcohol. Everything sort of came to a head by the time I was 17, when I tried to commit suicide. People pressured me to have an abortion. But I had a very strong feeling that I was doing the right thing. It was the best decision of my life. I pray that what happened to me will happen for everyone, for people that are struggling with pain, depression and hopelessness. If Justin’s struggling, don’t kick him when he’s down or condemn him — pray for him.”
