I opened up my Internet Explorer to MSN to see "Is Miley the Next Brittany Spears?"
I want to discuss how we turn good girls into awful role models for teens.
It's bad enough that through your teen years, you're insecure about who you are, trying to figure out who you are and how you fit in, without pressure from others. During my early tween years, Brittany Spears was the craze. I remember how much I wanted to listen to her music, but my mom and dad thought that she wasn't the best role model for me, because of the way she dressed. It's hard to believe that the girl who was in the Mickey Mouse club, is now in rehab. This was announced by E! (I think) that this is Brittany Spears' worst year ever.
Now, we are in the making of making another innocent girl into the next Brittany. Miley Cyrus has a great influence amoung girls. People pay too much to go see her in concert. I thought at first that people were picking on her when they said that she was seen not wearing a seat belt; then said, "Will you let your kids watch Miley?" Rediculous. But in any case, I thought this time it would be different, but obviously not. She posed nude for the cover of Vanity Fair. She claims that, "She never meant for it to happen." Ha Who does? She has already been in trouble this year with other racy pictures with her friends and also giving the camera a peek at her bra.
Great. Another girl is going to be like Brittany. But think about it. Many girls have followed down this path: Jamie Lynn Spears (who said she doesn't want to be like her sister) and Lyndsey Lohan.
Unfortunatly scandals give more publicity to these girls wether they want it or not. It boosts their career and eventually breaks them down.
