opening statement-child stars

Should child actors in shows marketed to younger audiences be expected to serve as role models for people their age?

Child stars on TV today should know better than to put themselves out there like that.

Today, there are many teen stars in the media out there doing shows that are meant to be for little kids, but then again, there are the kid stars who think they can do what they want. Such stars in Disney Channels go out in public and they do all sorts of stuff that little kids should not be watching. There is specifically one star that everyone knows about and that happens to be Miley Cyrus. Miley Cyrus has done it all as you can say. In the past years, we has seen her grown more and more out of control. At first, she started coming out with pictures that leaked on to Myspace of her basically half- naked. Then she showed up on T.V. dancing around on a pole and in her music video for ‘Party in the U.S.A’, she was also wearing little to no clothes on. Also, she was dating a guy who happened to be a little older than her. He was 20 while she was only 16. The most recent news on Miley Cyrus was that she was smoking out of a bong and the drug was supposedly salvia. Miley Cyrus is not a good role model and for that reason, she should not be able to even be on Disney Channel because of all her previous behavior. Parents would not want their children to be watching everything that she does when she is supposed to be a child star.

The Disney Corporation should not let stars such as Miley Cyrus ruin their name. A teen star such as her makes it seem like that is what all of the Disney kids are doing which is not true. It would not be right if little kids would suddenly want to be just like Miley Cyrus simply because they look up to what she does because she is on Disney Channel. I think that they should just basically not allow these kids to be on the shows where millions of kids a day see them and then later see them on some other type of news doing something that they shouldn’t be doing.
