Bad Things No One Talks About Being A Kid In The First Family

Whether it's teenage awkwardness or outright rebellion, children of presidents have often swiped left on life in the Executive Residence. Why? Here are just a few of the worst things about being a kid in the first family, at any age. There probably isn't a more famous first daughter in American history than Chelsea Clinton. Her father, Bill Clinton, was already the governor of Arkansas when she was born, and she moved into the White House when she was just 12. If having the full spotlight of the media shining down on her parents' infamous marriage troubles wasn't enough, right-wight media figures like Rush Limbaugh constantly made fun of her looks, while late-night talk shows and Saturday Night Live made her the butt of jokes. But ultimately, she rose above it all and took the high road by choosing not to engage in the same way. As Chelsea admitted in a 2018 interview with The Guardian, "To retaliate with crass language or insult someone personally I just don't think I'm built that way." In an interview with The Big Issue, Chelsea said that something had not gone right in her detractors' lives for them to bully a child. She then went on to say how the bullying taught her a valuable lesson that everyone can take to heart: "So that helped me understand early in my life that when we're being verbally abused by other people, it's not about who we are, it's all about the bullies."
