Teenagers are still children, full of hormones and not even sure who they are. They think they know what they want, but then they look back when they are older and realise they were being dumb and regret it. Even the ones who think they are mature tend to look back and wonder what they were thinking.
Being a teenager is very confusing, full of conflicting information, peer pressure, and rules to obey adult figures, while trying to find out who you are, and trying to have some independence.
No wonder some teens act out in extreme ways when teenage life is so confusing, and celebrity role models are offer no guidance. Justin Bieber going off the rails is just a sign of the times for the youth of today.
well i read the articles, interesting to say the least, sounds like the music would have to be very specifically toned to be anything to worry about
Justin beiber going off the rails, i have no idea what that's about, so no comment.
celebritys as role models are a horrible idea, anyway, you shouldn't try to be like the best of the best, you should aim for something, to be sure, but a noob can't beat a pro and shouldn't expect the stars to align for his/her sake so they can be rich and famous, people shouldn't say they want to make lots of money from the music industry unless they are at a level equal to what the currently successful people in the industry where at the age they where at, or somewhere similar, one training montage don't equal an entire life that was a training montage.
trying to find out who you are is a funny thing for teens, it never bothered me in the past, and i see no reason for it to bother me now, my brain doesn't reconstruct itself daily, and many aspects of physcology show that my decisions are situational, i am human, same as i was before, that's all i need to know.
there is also alot of irrational blaming i see going on as well, i'd like nothing more than to slap those who do it and am even more frustrated when i do it myself.
shame i can't influence behavior with music.... it sounded interesting (evil laugh)
than there is the mature ones, who think they are adults, because what's just a few more years?
proper role models aren't something i agree with anyway, you shouldn't be told to live a certain way, just to avoid certain things.
don't make up some guy who eats nutritional food and is really nice, just tell gets the advantages of doing those things.
people are gonna pick up the information they are exposed to if told it is true or correct, because how else are you supposed to learn?if you surround them with sleazy celebrities then they will certainly believe
those peoples opinions and ideas if that's the only ones they get to hear.
