Nowadays, there are more celebrities who are famous for glamor and wealth rather than their achievements. This is a bad example to young people. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#celebrities #glamor #wealth #achievements #people
While some feel like
celebrities
 who were born with glamour are bad examples to youth, it is still an argument as some are in fact working hard to achieve their goal, becoming a decent influence. There are many
celebrities
 who were born with privileges. Some
people
 believe that it is unfair to give a spotlight to those
celebrities
. They think those
people
 are not talented compared with others who worked hard to be famous.
In addition
,
this
 belief leads to the assumption that untalented
celebrities
 would be bad influencers to young
people
. They would follow the luxurious life of these
people
 and think that it is necessary to follow the trend, which would create bad behaviours. The youth might spend money to achieve
such
 perfect images. In fact, you could not judge the book by its cover. Some of those privileged
celebrities
also
 worked hard for their fame. It is not like they could just sit down, do nothing and be famous within the blink of an eye.
Furthermore
, many are more likely to inspire teenagers to work hard. As an example, Gigi Hadid had received a lot of backlash during her debut as a model. Soon enough, she proved to the public that even though it might seem like her family paved the way for her, she still needs to work hard to be one of the top models. Young models nowadays admire her and learn from her works and so do the teenagers. In conclusion, I think it is too soon to assume that all privileged
celebrities
 would be bad examples. Some give a lesson to the young generation that
although
 being born with wealth might pave the way, at the end of the day you still need to work hard to maintain a high position.
