Follow the Leader

Why do people follow celebrities? Even celebrities follow each other. Cray, cray.
They oughta be their own individual selves.
Who cares about dumb fashion trends, who's marrying whom, who's had the latest celebrity meltdown, who's is splitting with whom, who gave another child another unusual name, the latest crisis of the week?!
WHO CARES?!
I think our culture is in crisis right now. Why? Cause we follow everybody's movement online. We model ourselves after them. Kids turn to eating disorders b/c they think it's 'cool.' They do it 'cause the stars are doing it. The models have to do it because it's their job, but at what risk? To kill themselves. Hell no!

Speaking of idols, my current idol is Bethany Hamilton who is not famous for being a professional surfer but for surfing with an arm. You read that right! She only has one arm! She can not only surf, but skydive, not once but twice! She also does charity work. Through her faith, she has overcame all obstacles to become a pro surfer. She has inspired me and others like me to become more than they can be. She is truly an inspiration. Oh, there are other celebrity role models to look up to besides Bethany like Angelina Jolie, who is a humanitarian, having adopted kids from practically every country she's been in. She even had breast reduction surgery to reduce the risk of cancer.
