Role Models.
They can be important. They motivate you to do better and to strive for your best.
The problem is, a lot of role models we see everyday are the BAD ones.
For example, celebrity role models.
A few not so great female celebrities:
Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Ke$ha, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Momsen and so on.
These are people we see everyday and despite us attempting to ignore them they still weasel their way in. Not only to us but for younger girls who don't really realize the negativity of it all.
Britney Spears was at one point a good girl. But as many have seen in the media in the past years she has spun completely out of control. No panties in public, drug issues, her 55 hour marriage with Jason Allan to her overly sexual image and to think she is a mother.
Same goes for Lindsay Lohan. She was respectable at one time but she threw her career away for parties, extreme drug issues and even has spent time in jail. Even her father is worried about her influence over her younger 15 year old sister.
Miley Cyrus at one point was a HUGE role model for girls. Her Hannah Montana faze was perfect. Then she used the excuse 'I'm growing up' and begins to party, has been seen with drugs begins to become overly sexual in her music videos and even pole dances at kids choice awards.
Taylor Momsen was famous for her roles in The Grinch and in Gossip Girl. She is just a year older then most of us being at the age of 17(1993). She has been quoted when saying extremely sexual sayings and promoting female masturbation several times in interviews. What she wears is just WAY to sexual for someone her age let alone to even be worn in public.
Many do turn a blind eye to it and say "oh they can do what they want. It doesnt affect anyone."
But it does. Every day. When someone decides they want to be like them, then they follow the trend.
Celebrities in general are VERY influencial over people of all ages which is why we need a cleaner image for people to be influenced by and to take on as role models.
