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?

I think that role models are like any great nation or great ruler of the world. In Batman, The Dark Knight, one character said, "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." I think this is true concerning role models as well. I've noticed that, usually, the longer a star stays in the lime light, the crazier & the more problems they seem to have. As Jenna said, stars like Brittany Spears, the Olsen twins, and Lindsay Lohan are now not the best of people to look up to. But when they first started out, they were. Brittany Spears was in the Micky Mouse Club, The Olsen twins were in their own Disney show, and Lindsay Lohan was starring in the Parent Trap. Maybe like UV light too much lime light is bad for you too.
