To think that it was a mere 5 years ago when the baby-faced teenager was considered to be the ultimate role model to tweens everywhere. Girls loved him, lesbians wanted to look like him, and everything was just peachy perfect.

But just like many young celebrity stars before him, all the fame and fortune comes with a hefty price. As his privacy became non-existent, the media began scrutinizing his every move. And that can be pretty hard to deal with at such a young age.

Unlike other teens his age who rebel by running away or going goth, Bieber had the money and influence to do just about anything he wanted. Even if it meant imploding on his own fame.

For fans, there's a certain feeling of helplessness in watching danger signals go apparently ignored. There were plenty of red flags indicating that Bieber was on the fast-track to crashing and burning. Let's step back in time to see the many other times that Bieber should have been locked away in the slammer for his own good:
