3c Rafaela, Julia e Vitória: The problem about famous people influencing teenagers

Everyone who is famous has a big influence on other people. Unfortunately, they have to take extra care about the things they do - not only in their private lifes but also (and specially) in public. For example, it's not a very good influence when a famous artist uses a dirty language, encourages violence or the use of drugs. 

As we know the teenage phase is the one in which we are discovering who we are and who we want to be as a grown up person. With that being said, it's a normal thing for a teenager to look up to someone - celebrity, family, friends -, either for support, inspiration or motivation. But as a famous person, mostly if it's someone young, it must be hard to find yourself in front of everybody watching every single step you take and many times copying you and looking up to you, knowing that many of them depend their lives in yours. A lot of artists went through this situation - Justin Bueber is an example. Selena Gomez is another one, who said that when you lose yourself in the middle of all this fame and money and fans, you need to take time to yourself and rethink about what you are doing with your life and question if that's who you want to be, so the key really is the time you reserve for you and only you. 

As a present time news, we heard just about last month about Zayn Malik leaving the band One Direction. The boy who left everything, money, fame, girls, his best friends so that he could be happy. Just because he wasn't dealing well with the life he had, in wich privacy wasn't an option. Just like that we can see that not always money, fame and success means happiness. 

We must be aware of the social problem that the influence of celebrities causes in insecure teenagers, because they really need someone to look up to. We all know that crazy fans are never gonna stop existing, but there are a few things to be done. The first few steps maybe are that the celebrities should think more about the ideas they are sending to kids and teenagers, who look to them as if it was a mirror.
