What could be the best life to live? Many would say as a celebrity because they are thought of so highly and idolized. But a lot of responsibilities come along with it because the younger generation looks up to them a lot and they influence them. Samantha Snyder, a student at Hillgrove High School agreed by saying, “Celebrities influence others a lot because people want to be like them, but that is no always good because some celebrities can be bad influences on their audiences because they believe all publicity is good publicity.” Katie Connolly a sophomore at Hillgrove High School said, “A lot of celebrities especially artist are bad influences because a lot of them do drugs and are rude to others, and when you have a lot of people see that all over the internet those people might think it is okay to do that when in reality it isn't.”
On the other hand, some celebrities use their fame as an advantage to do good in the world. Erin Gardner, another student at Hillgrove High School said, “There are many celebrities out there that want to help and do good for the community and a lot of them do that by donating money and by helping at charities and helping the less fortunate.” Another way a celebrity does good is by inspiring others. Mainly artist inspire people and get others through tough times. One artist that many teenagers listen to is XXXtentacion and he writes about meaningful things that a lot of people struggle with and go through and when he talks about these things it helps them realize that they are not alone.
It could be very hard to be a celebrity because the public eye is always watching their every move and that could be a lot of stress on one person. Samantha said, “It could be very tough to be a celebrity, especially the hate. People talk trash and crap about celebrities when they disagree with an opinion. When all these people start to hate on them, they begin to lose touch of who they really are and change.” Erin Gardner thinks they have it a lot easier than most people because the world is more lenient on them. When someone famous gets into trouble nothing bad ever seems to happen to them but if any other ordinary person did the things, they did they would be penalized.
Celebrities can have an easier or harder life depending on the situations they get themselves into, and have to be careful of the decisions they make because those watching are effected.
