Do you think Celebrities should be role models for kids?

frick no.

/thread

No.

Clowns are there to dance for Scruffy's entertainment.

Nothing more.

No, but then understand it may effect sales and such.

Should they be? NO

But they are. Sport stars have huge influences on kids. Pop stars, actors, all of them too

Celebrities more often than not have achieved the highest level of their chosen profession.
Whereas your kids parents are middle management at best .


I guess you want your kids to fail like you have

I think every adult should strive to be a role model for kids.

Should my kids choose celebrities as their role models? Well, they are successful, which is nice. I'd hope I was one for them as well, but some celebrities I would say are solid contenders.

Of course not. They may have admirable traits or habits that can be pointed out but no more. For example, the hard work, determination and dedication that SOME athletes have to achieve what they have. I don't care for Tiger Woods, but as a middle handicapper who has worked to get there, I can only imagine the hours he has put into practice. BUT he is a scum who apparently treats people poorly...

The other thing parents should not be is good friends with their children. They HAVE friends and can get more, but YOU are a parent and need to act like one. Their freinds will very rarely act in the parental role so you should only rarely act in the friend role. You can be their friends after college.

Anything else?

Tiger Woods was a role model for me. Kids don't give a shite about the stuff your cynical, miserable adult mind concerns itself with. He was the best in his profession and worked his arse off. I respected the hell out of that as a teenager.

How about admins?
