Gotta Go My Own Way

People may envision the celebrity life as a perfect life where nothing bad happens, but some celebrities have gotten negative critique due to inappropriate behavior. Examples of this are celebrities like Justin Bieber, Lindsay Lohan, and Miley Cyrus.

According to TvGuide, on April 14, 2013, when visiting the Anne Frank House, Justin Beiber left a message in the site’s guest book saying, “Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a Belieber.” Not long after, Bieber had sprayed a photo of Bill Clinton with a bottle of blue liquid and called him an expletive.

Similarly, Lindsay Lohan has also experienced some drawbacks of her own. Since 2007, Lohan has spent approximately $1,147,500 on both rehab and arrests. According to HollywoodScoop, Lohan had failed a drug test on Sept. 25, 2010 and on Feb. 9, 2011, she was also charged for a grand theft felony.

In addition, Miley Cyrus’s actions at the 2013 VMAs were not exactly applaudible. Furthermore, in her music video for “We Can’t Stop,” Cyrus dances lewdly and shows herself “cutting” herself.

Now, people may wonder how Hollywood is affected by the inappropriate acts performed by celebrities. A few people may blame Hollywood for the actions of these stars; the stardom and the pressure may lead them to act a certain way. However, that does not excuse their doings. America’s youth should be exposed to well respected celebrites that set a good example for them.
