consumption; meanwhile, youngsters are likely to imitate their idols without careful consideration. In some cases, they can associate their idols’ fame with scandals: the more successful they are, the more scandals they have. As a consequence, they might end up learning negative behaviours.

On the other hand

, celebrities-related news or shows can bring about the motivation of being successful for children if their idols are good role models

as Bill Gates, Barack Obama or Helen Mirren. Their meaningful practices

as doing charity work or participating in environmental campaigns can contribute to children’s characteristics development.

As a result

, the stories of their idols’ lives can become a source of good motivation and inspiration for children to realize their dreams and to succeed. In conclusion, media coverage of celebrities can become a harmful source where children might learn inappropriate behaviours from famous people, but it

can become an inspiration for young people to achieve their success. For these reasons, the media should have
