Celebrities are essential to our culture, and we often look to them as role models. Depending on who they emulate, this can be a great thing or a terrible thing. On one hand, it’s great that people look up to celebrities and want to be like them. On the other hand, it can hurt young people’s futures if these celebrities aren’t positive examples for them. The good news is that many celebrities strive to be positive role models for the youth. They can set a positive example for young people and help them gain self-confidence while they’re young.
