celebrities:

Recently, I've been really addited to reading People magazine. It's kind of funny how it relates to the practice essay that we wrote two classes ago. I really don't know why I', so hook onto that magazine though. Honestly, some of the material in there is ridiculous but I think it's cool at the same time because that's what the celebrities do. Before, I was never so hung up on trends styles; it didn't really matter to me. But recently, it's become like an obsession for me. In a way, it's like the magazine is imputing these extreme ideas into my mind.I know that I'm not being forced to think like that but at the same time I really can't help it. Celebrity influences are very interesting because you know that your not obligated to copy them but you still do. I know that it's just because we want to "fit in" but that explanation doesn't seem to completely answer why teens do it. Why do we copy them?
