Amanda Bynes Was Kicked Out Of School - Parents Don't Seem To Care

I have already written this week that I didn't agree with the decision of Amanda Bynes' parents to end the conservatorship of their daughter. I'm sure they had their reasons, but from the brief statements they have given the media, it sounds like they not only ended their conservatorship but don't even talk to their daughter. How can you just let her move and then not even followup at all. Amanda's dad said he had not spoken to his daughter since she moved out. Really? Nothing? You didn't want to check up and see how she is doing? According to friends of Amanda at school and at the gym she would always come to class high and at the gym was wasted too and spent more time looking at herself in the mirror tha actually working out. At both places she was confrontational and more than once she fought with her dad in public. She was doing these things while she was living at home so it doesn't sound like her parents were doing all that much to control Amanda or her actions even when they had the power to do so and were probably counting down the days until they didn't have to be her guardian any longer. Her school also wanted no more to do with her and kicked her out after being a pain and being caught cheating on homework and exams. Amanda has been flying back and forth across the country again and it sounds like she is no better than she was previously. Someone needs to help her.

    Actually nobody needs to help her...she has to figure out how to help herself after she understands she is in very bad trouble and danger.

    She's a very sick girl who can probably pull it together to charm the owers that be. Or shes such a huge pain in the ass no one wants to bothered with her. Id go easy judging the parents tho; family members with mental issues can wear you out.

    Part of schizophrenia is not recognizing your own illness. Her parents are undoubtedly agonizing over the actions of their daughter, of which they have no control. Someone close to me has the illness, and the way they treat their parents is heartbreaking and so cruel. Legally they can only do so much for their adult daughter.

    She is an adult, if she won't let her parents help, then they can't. They can't lock her in the house. They've gone above and beyond so far.

      Thanks auntie. I think addiction must be a mental illness or a symptom and she's more like a child who needs to be taken care of, age 28 or not. Everyone knows the mental health care in this country is dangerously inadequate so we will let her run lose bc she's 28, then when people get hurt wonder why wasn't she locked up and treated before?

    My younger brother was diagnosed as schizophrenic years ago. Everyone in the family one at a time tried to help him. But, he would not help himself. I now believe he couldn't. He refused to take the doctor prescribed meds in favor of self medicating with drugs and alcohol until we each individually realized he was unhelp able. He has been homeless since he threatened our mother with death when she was the last to take him in. He now roams around Boston somewhere homeless because at 55 years old, that is what he wants to do. Unfortunately, Amanda is heading in this same direction -- once she is out of money and people willing to put up with her. Mental Health treatment in the US is deplorable.

    Don't judge her parents until you've walked in their shoes. This has got to be heartbreaking for them.

    I know schizophrenia usually kicks in during the 20s, but does drug use induce the illness in someone with tendencies or is drug use common because they are trying to self medicate as symptoms come on? Does anyone know?

      All Lace there does seem to be a correlation between drug use & onaet of schizophrenia or schizoid illness. However, they could do a study to quantify a link between eating white carbs and the illness.
      It is in a lot if cases a form of self medicating. It does seem some people are more predisposed to the illness and perhaps the drugs can exacerbate the already existing illness.

    I disagree with Enty on this one. He seems to feel that Bynes' parents are somehow obligated to take care of her for the rest of her life. I don't. She's well over eighteen years old, and she has plenty of money for doctors, shrinks, meds, etc. if she has any interest in caring for herself. If she chooses not to, if she's back in her little fantasy world, that was her call and it's her fault. If she crashes and burns, possibly ends up in prison, that'll be on her, not them. Give them credit for at least not being parasites like Britney Spears' family.

    Lace in my situation my father had this illness and he was self medicating himself off and on.

I was 15 ( I'm 48 now) and it still feels like it was yesterday.

    The court decided to end her conservatorship so according to them she is fit to take care of herself and like the rest of us is solely responsible for her current demise.

    By the way I remember Amanda giving her "opinion" back when Britney was having major issues. Amanda was on television stating that Britney needed to come and stay with her because Amanda's parents were so great and would take good care of her in the same way that they were taking care of Amanda.

    Let me tell you, I'm over 30, and have just started to get the treatment I need for the bipolar disorder I've shown symptoms of since my teens. I don't begrudge my parents' shortsightedness, but I wish they hadn't been in such denial. I've had to rebuild my world, and, once you're well, it is No Fun to confront all the damage you've done, I'll say that. And it's definitely hard to know who to trust.

    I agree with those that said amandas parents have probably done all they can. They can't just take her freedom away or baker act her without reason.

    I've lived with a bipolar, although that may or may not be her issue. and its absolute hell. it can eventually be a decision to die or not to die or be sucked under physically mentally financially and emotionally and know they will just go on to the next one. I don't mean to sound rude or uncaring.

    I wish and/or hope that while her parents were conservators that they managed to put some/most of her money into a trust that she cannot get at so if she does go downhill again she won't be left destitute.

    Note- my bipolar was an exhusband who was self medicating with drugs & alcohol. On his off days he'd go thru a 12 pack of budweiser by noon. by 6pm he'd be thru a pint of vodka and starting on pot and he'd be rubber legged.

    She's also an adult. Her parents don't need to take care of her. She needs to get her own act together. Her parents tried, but what are they supposed to do? Spank her and send her to her room? They can't control her. Bashing their head into a wall would be easier.

    Being an addict is very different from being schizophrenic. Of the two you'd rather be an addict, you can recover from it. We are presuming she is schizophrenic because you don't go to a mental health facility that is not a rehab for several months for an addiction.

    Being an addict AND schizophrenic, that's a whole heap of trouble.

  41. Tina Mallette10:12 AM

    In Ontario, and I may be wrong but I seem to recall there was a running controversy because they changed the laws so adult schizophrenics can't be forced into a mental hospital by their families except in very rare circumstances or they can't be blocked from discharging themselves or forced to take their meds because it "violates their rights" never mind schizophrenics are capable of killing people if not themselves. And the law only steps in when they do commit a violent crime which is too late for their victim.

    Last year Enty wrote he met Amanda's parents. There was no blaming them for her actions then. Now he's blaming them. Why? Sounds like Amanda was counting down to the minute when she could get out of their house. Not a whole lot her parents can do at this point. Knowing Amanda though, I'll bet she gets arrested sooner rather than later and when that happens, it's unlikely she'll be walking out.

    Her parents apparently don't believe in mental illness in general or just with her. They don't think she is or had ever been mentally ill, which is why they screwed up her conservatorship and why they're not stepping in here. They think she's just being petulant & spoiled.

    Neither of which is associated with starting fires, or talking to yourself, public outbursts to strangers, barricading yourself into changing rooms.

    This pisses me off to know end. This is half the reason the country's mental health crisis exists. Idiots like the Bynes who don't take it seriously/stigmatize it is one, lack of resources for those who do is the other.

    Their daughter will be dead within the year from her problems if they don't step in. Since they're the only ones that really can with her an adult. Damn shame.

  46. Unknown2:03 PM

    She is severely mentally ill, and using street drugs instead of her schizo drugs, her parents are not prepared to deal with a mentally ill adult child with such a severe prognosis. Part of them wants her to just be better, as though she can control it. Most schizophrenics don't even believe they are sick. She's been ill since she was 15 and got little or no treatment due to the fact she was working, making money for everyone and being "handled" as an adult her parents seem to want to let her go to "figure it out" on her own. You wouldn't let an adult child with cancer do that and yet these people just want to pretend it's not happening - she's going to kill someone - and it could have been prevented. A real shame. Nobody seems to want to go back to court to help her. No one. Very sad.

    So should they drug her like everyone says Britney's parents do or let her run wild and do what she wants? You can't have it both ways. Look at Margot Kidder. She disappeared for years and was basically homeless by choice but then later in life made a come back. I don't know if she finally started taking meds or what. Not everyone has the stamina to control an out of control adult. Every situation is different. Our country could give a shit about the mentally ill. Amanda is lucky she has money of her own (for now anyway).
