Should we allow them to be such an influence. Our Youth today are seeing these girls do things and just get a handslap. Is this the image we want to send to our youth?

Britney and Paris are adults and can do whatever they want even though they are idiots most of the time. I think that people use them as scapegoats for the actions of today's youth. If we don't want our children to act in an unpleasant way, we need to monitor what they see in TV, etc. Shaping how youth acts needs to start in the home and we need to stop blaming other people. And if anyone is promoting "that lifestyle" it is the media who plasters it on TV and says that it is news. Celebrities(well, most) aren't saying" look at me, copy me." Most hate the paparazzi. The media is the one who is glorifying (although they pretend to criticize) the behavior by showing it.

I don't really think that Britney Spears has an influence on todays teens, but Paris Hilton does, I know a girl that says that Paris Hilton is her role model.

Absolutely they have too much influence--and the influence is bad. What makes it worse is that this influence was very calculated even before the Britneys of the world came on to the scene. This pressure to make teens/preteens become more adult, as exemplifies by Britney and the other bad-girl celebrities, is a move by marketers to sell clothing and other things that are essential to the bad girl image. In the process peoples lives are being wiped out while we watch them on tv and our children are being exposed and indeed coerced into situations and actions that they lack the emotional maturity to handle. MTV and other channels pander to this pressure and it frightens me as to the long term effects of this phenomenon.

I'm all in favour of role models if they are GOOD role models...unfortunately there are very few of good role models around.....
......Case in point......Years ago.Madonna was the start of this" slutty trend" and she was once a role model to some of these Hollywood girls that are engaging in this type of behaviour now .
This leads me to believe that she had less than a good influence on THEM when they were little girls.
All that aside ....common decency seems to have escaped them , they have become "flashers of the worst kind, If it was any other citezen walking about like that, they would be arrested.There is a double standard here
I say arrest them for indecent exposure , like you would anyone else.....the reason they don't get arrested is because quite simply they are famous.
As for this "Skinny " trend , it's raher scary if our youth copy this awfull trend out of Holywood,I
Yeah~ too bad Britney, Christina ,Lindsay etc etc are being rotten role models.

Well, in their deffence, I have to say that they're adults, they can do what comes to their ******' mind.Teens who want to be like them, let them be, after some time they will realise that that's just plain stupid.Paris Hilton and Britney Spears have the wright to appear on TV, and to express their thoughts as same as you have, cause that's the main part of democracy, but they have stupid thoughts

Yes, and I'm sick of it. However, TV and the movies are promoting garbage now days and sending the message that it is normal. No wonder America is loosing the respect it once had. I believe in free speech but some of our so called music is worse than gutter material. But as long as society continues to promote it and buy into it, the trend will continue.

Looking up to these girls will have teenagers all over the world wearing no nickers, dropping babies and trying to starve themselves to death.
I hope younger girls don't take too mmuch notice of these girls or they may just end up like a poorer version of these girls.
It is good to see some fashion shows now making models look normal with a bit size about them.

I don't really think they are always role-models. Most people just like them, but don't want to be like them (I think). Hilary Duff is most probably the "cleanest" of them all, so she is a better choice of role-model for the kids (I don't like her much, though). But you are right, often the kids look up to Paris or Britney and become "loose" just like them. But I believe most of Britney's die-hard fans have probably left the building, because they have grown up and because she has "grown up" too (into trash, I might add).

Britney is a grown woman. She makes her own decisions. Hell she was out way before Paris hit the scene. Britney knew exactly what she was doing.
