Role models have insecurities too

Role models are hard to define because they are different for everyone.  Previous blogs talked about celebrities and famous people starting out as role models, but then failing.  I think this is because just about everybody, even celebrities, have insecurities.  I was looking around on the Internet I came across a quote by Miley Cyrus talking about her insecurities.  She said, “I hate my long legs and smile.”  Now I don’t know the validity of this quote, but I am would not be surprised if she does have insecurities, even if these are not them.  She is a pretty big role model for younger girls, yet because she has insecurities, she does whatever it takes to make herself feel better, even if is not a good example for younger girls. How can people be perfect role models in they have insecurities?  There must be something not perfect about them, or so they think, so I do not see how they can be role models.  I agree with Tina; people are not perfect and do make mistakes, so can there be role models?
