Child Actor Syndrome

Child Actor Syndrome describes the medical condition of former child stars who are used to being treated like royalty and can't adjust being a normal adult later in life and freak out when faced with any tiny life problem. Being a child star describes how most women under age 25 live, with validation and coddling on all sides, no ability to work hard in anything, and a constant desire to be in the spotlight. This later develops into early stages of Child Actor Syndrome around age 23 or 24.

Guy 2: Child Actor Syndrome. She's just posting about becoming a doctor on Facebook because she's a Like Hunter. She'll drop out in a few weeks. She's unable to adjust to a normal male's existence of getting no attention and simply working hard at things.
