Celeb's influence on young teens...

I have a friend who goes to Hastings every Tuesday afternoon to pick the new issues of her favorite magazines, to be honest I think is ridiculous! The media has gone too far with exposing celebrities personal lives. I all I have to say is who cares what they do? Children are easily influenced by what they see in the tabloids, that’s why I feel there should be more regulation on what paparazzi are allowed to print. Just because a person is famous does not mean that the entire world needs to know every detail of their life. The article Girls Gone Bad shows that famous women making the news and influencing young teens has been going on since the mid 20th century. Photographers make millions of dollars selling pictures of celeb’s behaving badly, but the reason is because PEOPLE BUY THEM! If parents are so concerned about their children being negatively influenced by these bad girls of Hollywood then they need to take a stand. Stop buying the tabloids, stop letting your kids watch Entertainment Tonight and E News, and stop giving so much attention to these girls getting into trouble. When these factors cannot be avoided take the time to explain to children the consequences of the actions, and help them understand that individualism is far more valued than being like the hot messes in Hollywood. Another good approach would be to put more of an emphasis on celebrities who are doing good things for society.
