The topic I would like to talk about today is about celebrities and how social media affects child development. Why should celebrities get to have literally "get-out-of-jail-free" cards. If a celebrity gets pulled over for DUI and is sent to court they get a light reprimand while regular people lose their licenses. Its unfair how if a celebrity gets caught with drugs they only spend a small amount of time in Jail while regular people spend years in Jail.
What kind of message does this show kids? That its ok to drink and drive, do drugs, party and give no respect to authority. Our world today is spiraling out of control because of this. I think that if celebrities are caught doing something against the law they should have to pay the consequences like any other person would have to, not get a break just because they have to make a film in the next three months. I believe if kids wont stop partying and doing all of these things as long as "society" shows that it is ok to do them.
Kids are very impressionable and watch a lot of TV now growing up, but TV is not the only place kids see celebrities doing these terrible things. Celebrities cover tabloids of magazines and news papers. There are billboards in every city with pictures of barely clothed women and men that give kids inappropriate thoughts. Society needs to clean up the streets of our cities and the minds of our children, and hopefully move on.
