Did you know that teens today are more influenced by celebrities than by anything else? So if Britney wants to get frivolous and start drink binging, that's considered 'cool' (?) Or if Nelly gets promiscous and makes a nice tidy sum on the side from the song, that's 'glamorous'? It's frightening to know that what is seen through the lens of the media or the pages of the tabloid is considered 'bible' material to many teens. We adults need to really do some introspection and ask ourselves these vital questions:
Question 1: Who am I closest too and how have I influenced them?
Question 2: Has my influence been positive or negative?
Question 3: Has my influence caused them mature emotionally, socially?
We are helping shape tomorrows leaders. We need to take our influences seriously.
