The problem with those girls is that they start really young and typically they have some underlying serious mental/emotional issues. I think at first they put on a cheery facade to gloss over their pain but as they get older their underlying issues overwhelm them. Being in porn doesn't help, but in most cases its likely not the root cause for them becoming trainwrecks. It would have happened anyway, it just becomes being more public as a result of being in porn.

I remember reading a speech that Nina Hartley once gave (and I think she would have a good take on this) where she said that from her observation for some women, being in porn was an empowering experience, but for most it was personally devastating. She said that she allways advised young girls who were thinking about getting into the business to wait until they were about 25, then decide. At that point they would still be young, but emotionally mature enough to go into it with their eyes open. I doubt Lia was following Nina's advice (or was even aware of it), but if she was going to do hardcore, she appears to have gone about it in the right way.
