Have you checked out what young teen girls have been doing
lately? That’s right, the Kylie Jenner Challenge. If you have been living under
a rock you may be asking, “Who
is Kylie Jenner?”
She is this chick:
Photo Cred: Her Instagram . . .
She is a Kardashian, and is only 17. Her age and celebrity
status makes her a source of inspiration to girls across the nation. However,
she is a questionable
role model, with her lavish lifestyle complete with parties and dropping
out of high school. Yikes!
So what’s the deal with this lip challenge thing?
Basically, girls are trying to achieve her luscious lip look
by sucking on a cup; the challenge backfired for most and girls ended up with
some seriously painful pouts.
This video highlights some of the worst of the worst, and
let’s face it, is hilarious, so check it out.
This girl seems to have the right idea. Why would anyone do
this to themselves? This encourages the question of how much influence to teen
stars really have on the average teen that may be living under your roof? From
this crazy example, the answer seems to be quite a lot.
According to the study in this article, celebrities
do in fact influence teens a great deal. What else is new? I will answer that
for you: social media.
I believe the interaction on social media between teens and
their beloved celebrity creates a sort of foe friendship. In other words, teens
think they are closer to them than they really are, and hence trust and admire
them more.
What are your thoughts?
