Despite her best efforts to lead a normal life, Jackson, who in 2009 lost her father, the iconic Michael Jackson, has faced situations that would test any person. Last Wednesday, she attempted suicide. Here's a look at a very full life compressed into 15 years. RELATED: Paris Jackson: Judge Orders Investigation into Her Welfare

Early 2000s Paris and her siblings Michael Joseph "Prince" Jackson Jr. and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II were never spotted in public without masks. Although she later realized her dad "only tried to protect us," Paris told Ellen DeGeneres in 2011 that growing up she thought the face coverings were "stupid." 2001 Wed to Michael from 1996-1999, Debbie Rowe was initially given visitation rights with her two children Paris and Prince every 45 days. After Rowe surrendered those rights entirely in 2001, a judge voided the order in 2004 at Rowe's request. The exes reached a settlement in 2005, and Paris was left solely with her father. JUNE 2009 The then-11-year-old's beloved father died at age 50 of cardiac arrest in his Los Angeles home a moment Paris witnessed with her own eyes. With tears, Paris screamed out, "Daddy!" as Michael's doctor unsuccessfully tried to revive him. RELATED: Inside Paris Jackson's Family Life

JULY 2009 As the star-studded tribute to the King of Pop concluded at his funeral, Paris gave animpromptu speech that left few dry-eyed, as she called Michael "the best father you can imagine."

JULY 2010 A year after Michael's passing, Paris and her brothers eased into what seemed like a normal life. When the children were photographed on a Hawaiian vacation, Michael's brother, Jermaine, told reporters that they enjoy hanging out with their cousins, playing video games and going to see animated movies. "They love the film business, and they love being behind the scenes," he said. "Blanket loves to dance and sing. Prince and Paris love movies. They can tell you about directors and producers and all that stuff." DECEMBER 2011 A year and a half later, Paris got her wish. Then 13, the teen was cast in the mixed live-action and animation movie Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys as a human character who survives being brainwashed by a jellyfish queen in the ocean. "She wants to be an actress," producer Stephen Sobisky told PEOPLE. "She wants to take on her dad's legacy and do something good for the world, and our product does that." JANUARY 2012 The highs continued for Paris, who couldn't hold back energetic smiles while sporting her softball uniform, as she took the field and cheered on her teammates. RELATED: Paris Jackson 'Smiling Again,' Sees Family at Hospital JULY 2012 But just six months later, turmoil struck the Jackson family once again. Just days after Paris's guardian, her grandmother Katherine Jackson, was reported missing and then found in Arizona the L.A. Sheriff's department responded to a family disturbance call at Katherine's home after Michael's siblings Janet, Randy and Jermaine Jackson reportedly tried to take Michael's three children from the compound. Katherine was temporarily stripped of her guardian rights, which were handed over to Michael's nephew, T.J. Jackson. The drama eventually settled the following month, and Katherine's rights were renewed, leaving Paris pleased. MARCH 2013 Sporting a new look a dark, short, cropped hairdo and piercings Paris still appeared to be a smiling teen while donning her school's cheerleading uniform and rooting for the boy's basketball team. APRIL 2013 Paris reconnected with her estranged mother. The teen, who seemed to take to rural life, proved an adept hand and was seen helping with Rowes horses. JUNE 2013 But just a few months later, Paris is hospitalized for a suicide attempt, following a lengthy bout with depression. PEOPLE confirmed from a source that the teen, who "misses her father greatly," said a source, cut her wrists with a kitchen knife and took as many as 20 ibuprofen tablets. A day later, Paris was said to be "doing well" and "smiling again," according to a source close to the family. She was visited in the hospital by Katherine, Rowe, Prince, her aunt La Toya Jackson and her former nanny Grace Rwaramba. RELATED: Paris Jackson Depressed, Sent a 'Cry for Help,' Says Family Source

Sadly, Michael Jacksons 15-year-old daughter Paris was rushed to the hospital after an alleged overdose and cutting on her wrists. Now

HollywoodLife.com has sources providing insight into what triggered the alleged suicide attempt.
Paris Jackson alleged suicide attempt on June 5 may have been triggered by a family fight after she was forbidden to attend a Marilyn Manson concert, TMZ reports, but Paris desperate move may have been set in motion by the recent claims by choreographer Wade Robson that her father was a pedophile who sexually abused him. His claims have really thrown her into a tailspin, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

Paris Jacksons Alleged Suicide Attempt Why She Did It


On May 15, Wade filed a civil lawsuit against Michael Jacksons estate alleging that he was in fact sexually abused by Michael, going back on nearly 20 years of defending Michael with positive testimonies and interviews. Sources say that Wades lawsuit has devastated Paris not only has she had to face these horrible accusations about her deceased father, she has also had to deal with massive amounts of hate from Twitter users because of them. The Twitter bullying she receives and her father being brought back up in the news by Wade Robsons claims has really thrown her in a tailspin, a source says. On top of all of that, Paris is still emotionally devastated from Michael Jacksons death and the high amount of dysfunction in the family, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. Michael obviously died suddenly in 2009, and the Jackson family has been anything but stable in the years since. Paris addressed the familys dysfunction head-on in early May when she chose to move out of the home she shares with her grandmother, Katherine Jackson, and live with her birth mother, Debbie Rowe. And before that in 2012, Michaels siblings ambushed Katherines house in an attempt to separate Paris and the other grandchildren from Katherine. The chaotic confrontation ended with a physical fight between Paris and Janet Jackson.

Paris Jackson: Crying For Help On Twitter?


It seems that Paris Twitter feed has been an unfortunate cry for help. On the social network, she has worn her emotions on her sleeve and shown definite signs of depression. So done, she tweeted on May 20. Her tweets have only grown more downtrodden since, with messages that seem to indicate a broken relationship Love is dumb and so are you and dont kiss someone one day if you plan on seeing someone else the next day along with more troubling cryptic tweets like, Dont listen to a word I say/the screams all sound the same and cant satisfy anyone.

Paris Jacksons Jarring Video


And on May 31, Paris posted a video of herself doing her own makeup to YouTube. At the time she seemed refreshingly self-deprecating, saying things like Im not normal. Those remarks are now much more concerning. And ironically, the video has a dark, melancholy tone. In it Paris talks about using makeup thats deadly and says, imagine that on a tombstone, and dies while choking on makeup. Paris is obviously struggling with some deep issues and clearly living a very difficult life. We hope after this scary episode the ones who truly love her will help her get the help she needs and the love and attention she deserves
The truth regarding her paternity has always been surrounded in rumours and theories.

But, Paris Jackson's recent suicide attempt happened just days after she was told that she does not share the same biological father as her older brother, Prince. The 15-year-old had previously been convinced that she was Prince's 'full' sister.

A family friend told The Sun newspaper: 'Paris has always wanted to believe Michael was her dad, but was aware that wasn't really the case. 'She was convinced her and Prince were full siblings. She always idolised him. Hearing that she wasn't started a downward spiral.'

Brother and sister: Paris, pictured here with Prince at their father's memorial service was only 11-years-old when Michael died

Paris was told the news to prepare her for what could be released in an upcoming court case. The Jackson family are currently suing concert firm AEG in a 26billion court battle, who they say is to blame for Michael's death. However, after learning the truth, many rows broke out between Paris and Prince, 16.

Recovery time: Paris could be in hospital for another month as she recuperates

Then, over the days that followed, Paris spiralled into depression and was admitted to the UCLA medical centre hospital after cutting her wrists and taking an overdose of pills on 5 June. Whilst the teen is said to be feeling better, she could remain in hospital for another month. Afterwards, she will move back in her mother Debbie, to her ranch in California.

She is absolutely stunning and I have always doubted that she shared the same father as her brother. I'm glad she has her mother now. She must feel very much alone.

Arnold Klein, Michael's dermatologist, who has said he gave Michael sperm when he asked, is Prince's biological dad, google his images they look just alike, there is no doubt. Blanket is the only one who somewhat resembles Michael. Paris, her white godfather was one of Michael's best friends and has said Michael asked and he gave him his sperm, so I imagine he is Paris' biological. Being adopted I realize the importance of knowing who your biological is, it was very important to me, it's horrible always wondering and not knowing, these kids can't be stupid they have to know Michael was not their biological. Since he isn't, unless he legally adopted them when they were born, legally they have no claim to his money, so surely he had the paper work in order?

Why should paternity come into a lawsuit about Michael's death. Those children and how they were conceived have nothing to do with why or how their father died. It's a sad day when adults want to tear down three children's lives for their own profit. - Kittykat , NOLA, 17/6/2013 14:46++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ AEG is being sued for $40 billion by the greedy Jackson clan. If the Jackson's win--- many people will be homeless and in debt for the rest of their life. The Jacksons claim AEG should have known that MJ was not fit to do the concert and the pressure caused his death. Their defense is that MJ hid things and lied to most everyone. The fact that MJ proclaimed the children were biologically his own--- just boasts AEG's claim that he lied with ease. AEG claims MJ was doctor shopping and manipulating people..and the fact that the kids are NOT biologically his own--just showcases MJ's deceit.

Paris is growing up and that's what happens when you grow up -- you find out things not disclosed to children. The problem is she has a lot of naivete to get over. But to seek a lifesaver with her birth mother is bound to be emotionally shakey as she must confront her birth mother's giving her up as a baby.

Meanwhile, Michael must be rolling over in his grave. Did he not also name Diana Ross as a guardian? She needs to step in because the environment these children are in are just as toxic as the overdose. A full blown train wreck and none of us can stop it. Keep the money, I rather have healthy and sound children.

This is what happens when you create children like lab experiments. People want children for themselves but fail to consider the effect it will have on the child. Had Michael lived, I am sure this wouldn't be happening but because of his absence things are chaotic and he's not here to ease the pain. I pray she gets through this. It's hard enough being a teen but to have this burden is too much.

The man who raised you is your dad sweet heart, don't let this news hurt you so. All of us on this planet started with the same parents in the beginning of time. We are all related, all of us are brothers and sisters when it comes down to it. Your dad Michael loved you so much and wanted you dearly thats all that matters, he left you all he had, and I'm not just talking about money. All the talks you two had when you grew up under his supervision mean more than some children have with actual biological parents. Remember all the good times don't let this news take any of it from you dear, ask God our heavenly Father to give you peace, peace that passes all understanding, you and your brothers for all it's worth will be in our families prayers. And don't forget at your age it tuff for all children growing up into adulthood, just keep on keeping on, each day WILL get better time is our best medicine. All our best.
