\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\Debate For Sutherlands Class/////////////////////

People who make movies, television shows, or are just stars overall should not be models for people their age. People look up to them and they have to be able to be the best they can.
     Kids look up to actors no matter what they do, even if they do something crazy like shave their head (Britney spears!)  but hey, I have nothing against her. Celebrities know that a million people watch them everyday and whatever they do impact every person who is watching them. Whatever you do, (the celebrities actions) will influence teens and others to do what they did. Sometimes it can be a good thing, but sometimes it can be bad.
       I think that celebrities should be role models because no one is in charge of them, they live their own lives. Most of their lives are planned out the whole way, by what they have to wear to what they have to say. They know  a million people watch them everyday, why not do good things that can influece people( going for kids and teens)
      The reason kids think of these stars as role models? I don't have a specific answer but I do have some ideas on why. First of all, they like the celebrity, such as their cute and the hottest person on earth. Example, Justin beiber: Everyone loves him and think he the hottest, but hes not! hes just cute. Here is a qoute of inaproppriate things some celebrities have done that are not good  to follow. It is from 

The biggest 2009 show-biz lesson: Celebrities are NOT role models!

''I’m not equating headline-making behavior that ranges from hitting a woman (Brown) to simulating sex on network TV (Lambert). The first example fills me with repulsed disgust; the second, amused bafflement.''
All ihave to say is, celebrities have done things that may not have been so great, but hey people still love them.What I think people love is not actually what the celebrity is but what he or she prodeces, such as music, arts, videos, tv shows,etc. An example is from hannah momntana. She was an idol to every little girl in the us. Perfect daughter, sister, student,  and friend. But, that is just shown on her tv show and not what she really is in life....

My opponent has brought up Miley Cyrus's controversial photo scandals she has been involved with.
Unlike other celebrities, such as Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus has apologized for her offensive photos. This can add to her good role model standpoint because girls will take after her and learn from mistakes they make and learn to be apologetic. Young people can CERTAINLY emulate this behavior. this came from an online debate: click

Hanna Montana is not the only star that has had faults, but my main point is all celebrities should be models to kids their age. That could help teenagers strive to go in the right direction and be better people. Celebrities are looked up to and they put themselves into a position where they have to take responsibility of what they do.
Okay thats my blog!:)
