Yes, I believe in role models; I don't doubt their existence. Effect not affect. The role model concept is a good one. It works best when someone is there to explain that people make mistakes. When holding people in such high regard, we as people, tend to forget that. ]]> Wed, 06 Mar 2013 04:34:54 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/do-you-believe-in-role-models_topic355434_post10186551.html#10186551 <![CDATA[Do you believe in role models? : I believe in role models for kids....]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/do-you-believe-in-role-models_topic355434_post10186547.html#10186547 Author: Limalady

I believe in role models for kids. Growing up kids made fun of my forehead, but Tyra Banks helped me accept my big forehead. Kids teased me for being dark, but Kenya Moore helped me see my skin's beauty, etc.
 
Now, as a grown woman, I believe more in mentors. Granted my mentors are State Supreme Court Judges, Federal Judges, and partners at major law firms, but you get the idea. I mentor high school and college kids now. I think role models help adolescents on their journey to self acceptance, but mentors inspire you to excel.

You are responsible for your own decisions and actions. Growing up though, you do need people to model good behavior. However, there are many people who've had nothing but bad examples in their life and are exceptional human beings.


I agree with a lot of this. Role models should be someone you can actually come to as a mentor. Celebrity role models aren't ideal as more than likely you'll never meet the person in real life. You can respect a celebrity's hustle/work ethic/etc...but saying they're an idol or role model is (in my opinion) taking it too far.

i think the purpose of a role model has missed you.

its not so that you can follow their exact footsteps... " just b/c something works for someone doesn't mean it will work for you"

but its to see someone who has done something substantial w/ what they were given--and you seeing that.. and appreciating them for that... and then doing your own thing -- and hopefully doing that well.

I never understood the concept of them. I think everyone has their own luck, circumstances and personality that affects who they are and what they can achieve.Just because something works for someone doesn't mean it will work for me. Do you have a role model? How do you feel about the concept?]]> Wed, 06 Mar 2013 00:04:53 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/do-you-believe-in-role-models_topic355434_post10186294.html#10186294
