tokens: Effect of celebrities on youth Young people all over the world are greatly influenced by media and celebrities . These celebrities are popular among younger generations because of their glamorous lifestyles . It is agreed that following celebrities can be dangerous for the youth . This will be proven by looking at how health and personality of young people is affected by following celebrities as their mentors . First of all, it is seen that following celebrities blindly affects the health of adolescents . Many young people indulge themselves in drugs and start smoking at an early age . For example, in a survey carried out in a university, it was asked to students that why did they start smoking, then around forty percent of individuals answered that they wanted to look like their favorite screen actor while smoking cigarettes . This example makes it clear that imitating celebrities has a negative influence on health of young individuals . Secondly, it is believed that when youth follows celebrities it affects personality of young people in a bad way . Adolescents follow not only the make up and attire of their favorite stars but also their behavior . For instance recently in a poll conducted by an American magazine it was found that most of the parents and teachers complain that teenagers use derogatory words and abusive language at home and at schools . So, this example makes it obvious that these glamorous celebrities have a poor effect on the conduct of young people . Thus to conclude, it can be said that when young people follow celebrities, it affects their health as well as behavior in a negative way . This has an overall effect on personality and future of an individual . Therefore it is recommended that young people should be educated not to follow these celebrities blindly, rather they should focus on their career so that they may hope for a bright future .
