Speaking to Pop Eater, the former Beverly Hills, 90210 actress insisted that the trouble she often found herself in as a teenager was innocent and does not compare to things happening in showbusiness today.
"Compared to today's standards, I'm like Sandra Dee. Look, I always wore panties and I never flashed the camera. I was never arrested for cocaine possession. To see excuses - non-stop excuses - from these girls, is crazy," she said.
"When I made a mistake, I would admit to it. I'd be, 'Wow, this is embarrassing, humiliating, and it'll never happen again'. These girls seem to make the same mistakes over and over and not learn from them."
Doherty went on to cite Lindsay Lohan as a particular example of her point.
"In the instance of Lindsay, I actually think Lindsay is really talented, and so it's kind of... You know, you watch somebody who is that talented, who obviously has a lot of family issues, which a lot of people would say is the root of her problems," she explained.
"I was able to make mistakes, learn from them and grow as a human being, because I have a very strong family. Morals and values were instilled in me from the time I was born, so that always stuck with me. If I did stumble and fall on my face, I could remember who I am and how my parents raised me, and always get back to that."
