What Role Models Do Young People Have Today?
Today, young people have many different role models. One common role model is a celebrity, because many teenagers follow famous people on social media. They like the celebrity’s style, character, or lifestyle, and sometimes these people can influence how young people behave or think.
Another type of role model is an influencer. Young people often watch videos, read posts, or follow a blog made by a blogger. They learn about fashion, sport, school life, or hobbies from them. Some influencers show their passion for music, art, or fitness, and this can inspire young people to try new things.
Some young people choose a leader as a role model. This can be a teacher, a coach, or another adult who helps them make good decisions. A leader can also be a mentor, someone who gives advice and supports them.
There are also role models like a hero from a film or book. These heroes show courage, kindness, or strong values. Many young people admire them because they want to be brave or creative like their favourite hero.
Finally, some young people look up to dreamers – people who follow their goals even when it is difficult. These role models show that it is important to believe in yourself and work hard for your dreams.
