There's quite a price to pay when one becomes a celebrity at such a tender age. Today's biggest teen stars have to sacrifice leading their normal lives in exchange for all the publicity and hard work they have to go through just to get recognized. Such is the case for Emily Osment, who appears on Disney's hit series, Hannah Montana. She expressed that her efforts of achieving a sense of normalcy in her life were much in vain, as this year she had to leave the school she has been attending up until her ninth grade. This was due to the very busy schedule she has with the show, thus she and her co-stars now receive private tutoring on the set. Osment admitted to the New York Times that being a celebrity does entail a lot of hard work, adding that "It's hard to manage." The 15-year-old actress became a familiar face after her ongoing stint with Hannah Montana, where she plays Lilly Truscott, Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana's (Miley Cyrus) best friend. This isn't her first major acting gig as she had already debuted in 1999. However, it was Hannah Montana that led her to where she is right now. Of course, fame has a price to pay, and Osment, like any other teen idol, must deal with the pressures of the press and the rest of the web blogger population. The sister of Oscar-nominated actor Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense), Emily Osment revealed that she was disappointed to see that "hundreds" of bloggers are posing in her name, and is not happy when fans take pictures of her walking in the street in her gym clothes. Despite all these, the young actress is grateful for the opportunity that Disney gave her in Hannah Montana. "Disney definitely sets up a fan base for you," she admits. "That's the biggest thing." Her father and manager Michael Eugene Osment also says that he is doing everything he can to keep his daughter grounded as she grows up in the limelight. "We do our best to try to be an average American family," he said of his children and wife, Theresa, who is a teacher. "When we come home from work we do everything from doing the dishes after dinner to cleaning up dog poop in the yard."
