Celebrities Influencing Teenagers

Celebrities and models have a major impact on teenager’s lives.  Sometimes it can be that big things get way out of hands. Many young girls and boys turn to their celebrity icons for guidance and advice on day to day life.  Today celebrities are becoming the main role models of the youth. Especially young teenagers, since their life style and photos are in magazines, newspapers, advertisements, movies and T.V shows.  When they try to be like them they can end up choosing good or bad role models.  Some affects from the influence of celebrities or models can be Self esteem issues, physical appearance issues, bad behavior and their attitude can be affected.  In television, magazines and movies, celebrities are frequently portrayed partying, smoking and drinking alcohol. This will influence teens to pick up these bad habits and do the same and because they idolize these celebrities they will think nothing is wrong.  After seeing their favourite celebrity on T.V or in a movie they generally want to copy their look. Most Celebrities maintain a skinny figure, this definitely has an impact on teen’s diets.  They start skipping meals and dieting to lose weight.  However, doing such things without proper guidance can lead to many health issues.  

Im not saying every celebrity is a bad influence, there are many beautiful celebrities that are great role models.
