The news keeps coming in–it seems it is one bad revelation after another about Justin Bieber. His detractors are rejoicing at his latest caper and are busy filling up the social media with all their comments about the matter!
On the other hand, I see it from an entirely different perspective. I don’t see this as a chance to gang up on him and to dissect him from head to toe. I see this latest misadventure of his to serve as Bieber’s wake-up call to get his act together.
How can he get his act together?
In my opinion, he just has to convince himself that he knows what is right from wrong. It is as simple as that!
Most of us know by now that Justin Bieber is more than capable of doing good and spreading cheer when he had unselfishly visited the victims of typhoon ‘Yolanda’ a while back. That single act left most of his detractors at a loss for words! They never imagined Bieber was capable of doing good outside of his comfort zone.

Why is this even still relevant to talk about?
The simple fact that he is Justin Bieber is reason enough. And at the same time, it is quite alarming to keep reading and watching all these sporadic reports about him.
It does lead me to wonder if we are witnessing the beginning of the “end” of Bieber’s professional career?
Even if he got to post bail and is currently a free man, again all of these should serve as a stern wake-up call for Bieber. He really can’t have more of these problems.
His public image is already so badly tarnished as it is and his latest run-in with the law is doing absolutely nothing to repair the damage that is already there! In fact, it is making things much worse for him.
Some already have made a firm conclusion and are completely convinced that his professional career is already beyond repair and nothing can be done to fix it!
I beg to differ that we are witnessing another self-implosion of a pop star!
It is too soon to say that! It isn’t too late for Bieber and I certainly believe his fans will continue to support him. But for how much longer is the question if he stubbornly chooses a path that leads him astray.
No matter what forms of advice he receives from his management and most importantly, from his immediate family, in the end it is up to Bieber if he can process all of these and apply them to himself. I do believe there are those who really care for him and are looking out for him. But probably, these positive people in his life are already being crowded out and pushed away from him by those who have a “deeper negative influence” on him.

What is the real problem?
Some have pointed out it is because of Bieber’s lack of maturity. While there are those who insist that he has been acting up ever since Selena Gomez left him hanging again. But a majority believe he is simply this way because he is a spoiled brat!
Whatever the real reasons may be, it is only Bieber who truly knows what is bothering him. And speculations will remain speculations until such time he gets to redeem himself with the public and prove his detractors wrong once and for all!
In the end, we are all responsible for our own actions whether they be good or bad. Believe you me, Justin Bieber has already felt how it is to be incarcerated–even momentarily–and it is highly unlikely that Bieber didn’t feel fear when he was inside a prison cell! No one in his right mind would want to land in jail. And for what it is worth, just maybe, his stint in jail was the “right medicine” to hopefully scare him straight and to steer him back onto the right path!
I just want to point out something else first before I end this article. It is not wrong for Bieber to buy the things he wants. It is his own money after all and he worked hard for everything he owns! So, trying to make an issue of that is irrelevant. Bieber’s luxurious lifestyle does not make a bad person of him at all. It just makes the people pointing out such a trivial and pointless observation appear more envious of him.
Does Justin Bieber still have what it takes to make his fans “believe” in him again?
