FAME

As teens when we go out society automatically thinks we're popping pills and doing drugs or recking the town. Everyone's down on us to NOT do drugs but nobody's seeing the dangers to fame. Celebrities go out and party and fill our heads with the need to always be seen that we can't help but want the same attention. They fill us up-to-date on practically everything that's happening in their lives, what they wear, where they're going, and what they're interested in. All this affects how we live our lives because we then feel the need to emulate them by buying the same clothes and accessories and eventually wanting to be just like them.

Teenagers are easily influenced by celebrities because we go through mid life crises and this is the time when we're constantly reinventing ourselves and trying to maintain that ideal image.There are little girls on Facebook and Instagram that are obsessed with likes that they'll post a pic half naked just for the attention.

The power of celebrities are taking control of us and as a result we have negative behavior. We are so use to doing wrong because we are constantly being projected to celebrities that make our wrongs seem right. For instance reality shows have us thinking that you can be famous by being a bad girl, teen mom, or a party animal.

Rapper Kanye West said in his interview with Breakfast Club "We are mentally a slave. We are enslaved to brands. A women is enslaved to the concept that diamonds are a girls bestfriend when girls in London don't even wear engagement rings, that's all been programmed into us because we're held down by society's perception of us." I'd argree but I also agree that Kanye West is trapped himself. He's become insane with being rich, he thinks that we're all slaves and the only way to have freedom is money. Society makes it seem like you need to have Prada in order to have a voice. But your voice is just as powerful as everyone else's . Like Kanye West said this is the Hunger games and we're all just too caught up in competing with one another, we forget to think. What you do not only affects you but everyone around you and for celebrities that's a big thing when your suppose to be a role model. Fame is the new drug be careful while inhaling the spotlight...
