The notion that everyone older than you is a role model is false to me. I mean people that are older should try their hardest to set an example for younger siblings or younger people in the community. If a younger person ask me do i consider myself a role model i would say no but at the same time i try to do everything the right way but when life goes wrong its hard to do right. The same situation for professional athletes and people that are often in the public eye. They might not want to be looked at as a role model but because of their ability to put a ball in a hoop, or the ability to throw a ball has put them in the lime light. In these cases kids who are looking for someone to immulate. So those in the lime light has a certain level of responsibility to the world to portray a good image to those watching them. These kids out here are basically being raised by the television and they do everything they see their favorite athlete or entertainer do. At the same time they did not ask for this life and parents need to do their duty as a role model to give their childern the correct people to admire and want to be like in life. Kids also need to take some of the responsibility as well tough as it is to say they need to know right from wrong and admire the right people for the right things.
