Celebrities are usually more famous for glamour and wealth than for their achievements and this sets a bad example for young people. To what extent do you agree or disagree

Unlike ordinary persons,

celebrities

live under the spotlight and what they say and how they behave can set an example for the general public, especially youngsters. Some believe

this

is detrimental to the young, who tend to focus on

celebrities

' glamour and wealth rather than their achievements. I agree with

this

viewpoint. Minors are going through important formative years during which they are susceptible to outside influences. Role models have a powerful impact on how they view the world and what they should pursue in life.As many

celebrities

earn great fortune and live extravagant lifestyles, youngsters who adore

celebrities

are likely to associate the value of lifestyle with money,expensive cars and luxury mansions, etc.

This

has a negative influence on young people's minds and beliefs. They may pursue wealth without scruples and consider personal enjoyment as the priority over other matters. It is no wonder that many teenagers these days have an antipathy to studying, choosing to drop out of school in their pursuit of becoming famous and rich overnight. Another aspect on which

celebrities

influence young people is appearance and dress. These days, singers and movie stars with good looks and charisma are very popular with the young generation.

This

may cause

shape and influence fashion trends, encouraging youth to keep up with the latest fashion trends.

However

, outward beauty and fashionable things do not

long, and these young followers may ignore more important things in life,

as the desire for knowledge, responsibilities for others and contribution to society.

Overall

, if there is no proper guidance, the cult of celebrity does no good to youth.
