Mommy Daddy Look!







Children of all ages are raving over Hanna Montana also known as Miley Cyrus. With her celebrity father we all knew it wouldn't be to long before she got into the game to. With her bringing up on the Family channels Hanna Montana we would expect this young girl to be a perfect role model. However with recent discoveries all over the Internet we've come to find that she isn't quit a role model at all.


When you children are growing up and they find that one group that they love and learn all their songs, have all their posters and dance around in all their clothing, then you know that, that person is their role model. For girls my age it was Spice Girls, and Backstreet Boys but now with all the attention towards Disney and their new celebrities. We have children all over the world pointing fingers toward Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers.


With hesitation parents fully support what their child wants but what happen when they stroll upon these pictures on the web, while looking up their favorite singer? If she was such a role model she would want to be conservative and respectful of herself. In these types of pictures she is basically giving the impression that it is okay for your children to want to take pictures in their underwear. With these pictures all over the web, I'm sure allot of parents have banned the search and filtered their computers. If she was the person is acts up to be on television then they wouldn't need to do this.


She's suppose to be fun and young, but in these media pieces we find her showing what only older people care about. This is not a test to see how "sexy" our children can try and be because they want to look like Hanna Montana. Children should be anonymous to things like this while growing up, celebrity stars that we trust shouldn't be displaying this type of advertisement to our children. Miley if your going to act like this and going to dress like this you should have became appealing to teenagers, who understand what's going on.

Growing up


All children eventually grow up, some faster then others but we all do. Some children develop faster and feel like they have to act "older" because this is how they look. Some develop slower and get this feeling of being left out and wanting to catch up. While everyone who has already been thought this knows that there is no rush to grow up youth and children force this upon themselves.

Growing up should be fun it shouldn't be pressure and worry. We should be able to stand up to what we want and do what we think is right without the next kid telling us something else or calling us names. So why do we rush growing up?


When i was young i would play tag, basketball, and just hang out with everyone that i wanted and thought was good to be around. Now i see children in my neighbourhood worrying about smoking and drinking. There is no reason for you to want to get involved in these things they are only hurting your body and you so why do it?

All the fun that used to be around when i was a kid is slowly going away and everyone is growing up to fast and forgetting the meaning of being a kid. When your a kid you have no worries. You were suppose to fall and cut up your legs, suppose to bump your lip, and suppose to fall of your bike.

Children these days are moving to fast and not just because they are pressured, also because they are not allowed the freedom to make their own mistakes and learn of them. When you were a kid was there warning signs for you everywhere you went and beside everyone you talked to? No!

So why not let them find them warning signs themselves and experience life how you did, with their own judgement towards things.
