Celebrity Downfalls

You never really know how many celebrities go downhill until someone that is extremely popular does a certain act that people don't agree with. For example, let's take Miley Cyrus. She started her career being a role model to many young girls. She was exemplary in all she did, started as a young adult who had a dream and went after it with her dad. She went through her life with multiple practices and scenes being shot a week. She still kept up on her school work and was always on track. You never read anything in the tabloids about her other than her style on the red carpet or her newest boyfriend. Until recently, many have thought of her as someone they want their daughters to be like, or their sons to date.

Now, she has changed dramatically. Recently, she not only has shaved her hair off, but she also completely changed her genre of music. She has become more risky in what she has put out to the public. Some of what she has put out has been thought inappropriate by the public. However, she has done things just like many other celebrities. People have complained about how Miley has appeared in music videos and VMA performances naked or nearly naked and doing things thought to be "naughty" or "dirty". However, people like Beyoncé and Rihanna have appeared naked in music videos and you have never heard anything about it because of the amount of respect people have for them. They also didn't start out as a teen role model for young ladies.

On the other hand you have celebrities like Hillary Duff. She also started out as a teenage role model in the show Lizzie McGuire. She dwindled in the music business while staying in the acting business. She grew up to stay out of the lime light keeping all positive thoughts. She was never in the news for negative things that didn't boil over almost automatically. Nowadays you see her in People magazine with her children. She is living her life right. She has stayed classy and has raised her children with nothing bad to say about it. There are other celebrities that have done the same thing and have just stayed out of the lime light to keep their life straight.

Plain and simple, people make mistakes, no matter who you are. So we all need to take a step back and let people, even celebrities, live their lives the way that they want.
