Celebrities

Celebrities. Either you love them, you hate them, or you don't pay attention to them. Some even say that they are heroes and that they are the greatest thing on the planet. But how far can we take that comment? Everywhere you look, you see people modeling themselves after there favorite celebrity or sports figure. They will dress up in their outfits, change their hairstyles, and other such things to become closer to them. Some people even go as far as changing their behavior to the way they think these people act.
The question is: Do you really want that person as a role model? Most people need to take a step back and look at the big picture. You look at these celebrities and what are most of them doing? Going and partying until the crack of dawn on weekends, and other things that I won't mention here. How do we know that little kids won't start doing these things? Even professional athletes are questionable role models. With all the tattoos they have on their bodies, it's tough to believe we still have ink for pens!
Now despite what we do or say, these people do have big influences over many people across the world. Everything they do is being watched by someone else. Think about your life, if you had someone watching your every move, would you do some things different, do some things you weren't planning on doing, or not doing some things at all? Most of us have secrets that we would be terror-stricken if they got out in public, which is what these people have to live with everyday. It is amazing that these people can live like this and still go out in public!
These people, while amazingly tough, are still not the best people to become role models. The most appropriate models should be a father or mother, who have raised you to become the person you are. While some celebrities and athletes are better than others, you must pick and choose your models carefully.
