Why role models are important

I decided to write about a topic, which I have been thinking about lately. I hope you enjoy it!


Young people of different generations have different role models. It is a fact though, that most people nowadays find role models who are displayed on the TV. Role models are very important, especially for teenagers, as they can influence them a lot. That´s why it is necessary for them to have role models with values. So it is sure that there are two kind of role models, the ones that influence you positively and the ones who influence you negatively.


Why do young people actually search for role models? Well, firstly it is because they admire them. They are rich, have an amazing life and everybody knows them. By imitating them, they feel in a way closer to them. They are also influenced a lot by the social media. Most teenagers have facebook, instagram and twitter and they follow their favourite stars in every step they make.They see half naked pics of stars, stars who drink alcohol and take drugs, so they say to themselves: "They do these things,are famous and rich. So why shouldn´t I do these things too?"


Why role models are important


The negative role models are seen by the teenagers like heroes. How many teenage girls want to be like Kim Kardashian, without a reason, just because:"yeah she is hot": Well this is surely not a reason why you should admire someone so much that you want to be like him. The negative role models, only create wrong dreams. Unfortunately though, teenagers tend to be so fanatic that they don´t see the truth.


However, there are surely advantages in having a role model as well. The posiive role models, like people who help the environment, do a lot about human rights,help people in need, make the teenagers a better human being. They create the teenager´s character in a better way, they educate them about things which are the most important. School sometimes can´t manage to show the young people the right way. So it is important that these people exist, because they continue the goodness in this world.


So..that´s the end of this article. I just wanted to inform you how important role models are. If you are parents, show your children the right way, so they admire people who are actually worth it. If you are a teenager, search for people who really inspire you and not for people who haven´t actually done something good for this world. And if you are a normal person, just like me you probably know what is important for you in your life, so follow these dreams.


So, whats your view about this topic?


Do you have any role models, or just people you admire?
