 is not a good idea and sometimes can be harmful to adolescents . Following a superstar for young

 can influence their identity, values, attitudes , and

 a popular figure, they may choose the wrong one because they see unrealistic images of the famous person’s life.
For example
, following the Kardashians may lead a teenage girl to think that wearing makeup and expensive clothes is a real value in society, which negatively affects her future. Another reason for believing the negative effects of a star on young

 is that they normalize

. Juveniles follow a

 as the style of their smoking and young

 may think that smoking is fun and cool, so they try to find classmates and friends who share the same opinion.
Also

 usual or not?”. Afterwards, they might think it's acceptable and do it themselves.
For instance
, there was a girl in my high school who had three boyfriends at the same time and when we told her you should be with one person she said happily and proudly “ look at the Kardashians!”
Additionally
, a
celebrity
 normalizes having sex with more that one partner which is deleterious for the future of our society.
As a result

 because they negatively influence their lives and normalize detrimental
