Celebrities don’t only influence people with words, they make gestures of support and charitable actions showing a good example for young teens. Michael Jackson donated $300 million dollars to various charities. Whether or not he did this, as an act of kindness is irrelevant. If people less fortunate then we are benefiting from his wealth then why would we worry about something as irrelevant as his intentions? Oprah Winfrey donates $40 million dollars to multiple charities every single year, she also has a $1 billion dollar cheque on her will for numerous charities.

If you know the first thing about Oprah Winfrey, you know her intentions are as pure as her heart. “If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think.” And change is what she did, she changed the world. Oprah is an iconic celebrity whom teenagers can look up to for support, as a guide, or even just as a human who still has good left in her heart. Quora described Oprah as “the most influential and successful woman in media” then followed with “Oprah Winfrey has influenced the way women think, talk, eat, study, shop, exercise, and lead.

” Another prime example is Emma Watson, in September 2014, she started her campaign called HeForShe, Emma Watson is all for gender equality and is encouraging the world to be too. Emma Watson believes “It is a time we all see gender as a spectrum instead of two sets of opposite deals.” She isn’t just targeting women either, she is promoting males to take the pledge. We all make choices in our life; get drunk or stay sober, buy a house or rent a house.

All these little things help make up the person you are right now. So just take a moment to think, you choose to watch and listen to celebrities make mistakes, and you alone choose to copy them or ignore them. So at the end of the day the only person you can blame is yourself.
