Do you think celebrities have an impact on how children and young adults are influenced in their behavior?

Question

Answer

To an extent, sure. But that doesn't mean I hold celebrities responsible for being 'role models' or think they are at fault for someone's bad behavior.

Answer

Yes but it's a parent's job to make sure their kids know not to be so impressionable & can make their own informed choices.

Answer

Jackie Chan, Steve Erwin and Leonard Nimoy had impacts on me as a child and remain my heroes to this day.

I'd say I turned out pretty well :D

Answer

If they do, be concerned. It is the parent's job to be role models in their child's lives.

Answer

Yes my 12 year old styles herself on Ariana Grande.  Not a good look for a 12 year old.  I have to hide my make up because she started to cake herself in the stuff.  Kids should concentrate on being kids not little adults.  All very well idolising celebs but there has to be a cut off point where dress/style is concerned

Answer

I remember crying when the spice girls broke up ( I was about 6) and thinking I could be a Tedi at some point...

Answer

To be honest, I think it deals with the stupidity of the person and how impressionable they are.

Answer

not at all. im 15 so this is kinda directed at my generation and i can say that people my age dont do something just because a celebrity does it. although im a very independent thinker, my friends dont even do things like that.

Answer

I think with certain people, pop culture is a big influence on their lives. (Like That lip challenge thing)

I hope that everyone has a brain and can make decisions for themselves.
