Your Teen and Celebrity Role Models

Celebrities are constantly in the spotlight, an easy place to influence teenagers. Find tips on talking to your teen about role models and ways to find positive role models other than through the media.
Under developed social definition of maturity
Its a true shame the excessive capital gain that drives current pop culture to have media focus on what sells, and due to the fact that it is our adult society that craves "high school drama". It has become acceptable for the media to report about these pop idles more than actual meaningful news. Not only that, but the ridiculous people and their very poor choices are almost glorified, and somehow makes it alright for young teens to to make bad decisions and not realize the consequences of these real world choices. I think parents need to confirm these people as bad role models and the media should be made to be more responsible about what they are making news, to end the perpetual degradation of the level socially accepted mentally and responsibly mature.
