Celebrities are only pretending to be somebody they are not, and to gain the largest audience. What kind of role model could they be?
Yes. It is very important to have good role-models because it affects the outcome of the teenagers life choices.
Yes they are and they are very good role models.
Athletes can be good role models because they can show leadership as well as participation and responsibility. They can show leadership by helping teammates and or helping a player on the other team. They also show participation by participating in their sport. Athletes are often very healthy aswell because they train so often which is a good role model to have because being healthy is very important. They show responsibility by trying their best to contribute their part to the team and or country if in the olympics. Depending on the athletes role there are different good and bad characteristics.
That is a question for the individual child. Athletes have been viewed as role models and some well deservedly so. But it is entirely up to the person who a role model should be and who shouldn't be a role model.
