We don’t know what’s more surprising – the fact that Miley Cyrus has written an autobiography or the fact that it’s not written in wax crayon.
Oh, we’re joking. After all, Miley Cyrus is 16, so she’s got over an entire decade of bittersweet life lessons to share with the world – you know, about potty training and riding a bike without stabilisers and whatnot.
Anyway, at this rate volume two of the autobiography will be released when Miley Cyrus is 32, and she’s bound to have been through a couple of drug problems by then. So at least that one will be interesting.
Look, we know that the thought of 16-year-old Miley Cyrus writing an autobiography seems ridiculous – we’ve already gone into detail on the subject once before – but, on reflection, it makes perfect sense.
Sure, Miley Cyrus is young, but she’s managed to pack more into her short time on Earth than the rest of us put together. While you’ve spent the last couple of years poking around at spreadsheets inside a depressingly strip-lit office full of people you can’t stand, what has Miley Cyrus done?
We’ll tell you what she’s done – Miley Cyrus has become a megastar, had number one TV shows, albums and movies, hired out all of Dineyland for her birthday, got semi-naked in both an amateur and professional capacity, started going out with a knicker model that’s like twice her age and grossly offended an entire subcontinent. At best you’ve only done one, possibly two of those things.
So with that in mind, it’s clear that Miley Cyrus has got a lot of stories to tell. And, as it’s becoming depressingly clear, being a globally famous megastar can be really sad. MSNBC reports:
In the pages of her first book, “Miles to Go,” Cyrus [says] “Most of the time you see me smiling — I mean that’s how I got my name! — but that’s not what it’s all about. Everyone goes through hardships and heartbreaks,” she says. Before she became Hannah Montana, Cyrus writes, she had to endure daily hazing from bullies in sixth grade, who did everything from stealing her books to locking her in the school bathroom.
See? Some children were quite mean to Miley Cyrus once a third of her life ago. You couldn’t possibly understand heartache like that, you callous sods. And the bullying was completely unprovoked, too – Miley Cyrus was picked on despite being a talented, pretty, funny daughter of Billy Ray Cyru… oh, now we see why Miley Cyrus was bullied. Actually that sort of makes sense.
Incidentally, there’s really not much point in buying Miley Cyrus’ autobiography. From what we’ve heard she doesn’t even explain why her voice got so weird. Seriously Miley, either you got karate-chopped in the neck as a toddler or someone once fed you hot tar. You have to tell us which one’s right.

I’ll buy it if we get full details of what she does with that underwear model. With photos.
Arrest this girl, her Hitler hairdo, is making me feel ill. This is what you get when you mess with us……
Most of the comments on many sites focus on the wrong areas. The important areas to focus on are: It happened to Miley, it happens to most kids, it happens to our kids. What can our children and teenagers do and what can we do?
Other people can take forever trying to educate and convert bullies and their parents while the rest of the kids remain victims. But educating bullies and their parents begins when they find out that the old tactics don’t work. Protect kids now; stop bullies first and then educate them.
The lessons we can learn from Miley Cyrus are that we need:
1. Principals and other administrators who want to stop bullying.
2. Federal laws that require each school to create programs defining and prohibiting specific bullying behaviors and that hold principals liable for their failures.
3. School anti-bullying policies with specific behaviors spelled out. That way, principals and teachers will be supported in preventing bullying and in tackling bullies and their parents. And the principals who don’t want to act will be forced to.
4. Children, teenagers and parents who respond immediately. They’re alerting the rest of us and rallying us to be their allies and to help them resist.
In addition to professional experience, I learned practical, pragmatic methods growing up in New York City and then watching our six children and their friends and enemies. And we live in Denver, home of Columbine High School.

I would def buy Miley’s book.
I look up to her, she’s made mistakes sure. But she’s still young, she can’t help it. All teenagers make mistakes, but because their not famous people don’t reconise it.
I’m only 15, my Miley is my role model.
Good article… “Godlike wisdom” LOL
