Do you think the stars of popular culture such as pop singers and film stars influence the habits of young people? Would you say this is a good thing?

I agree that stars of popular culture effect the habits of young people, and it is a bad thing for young people. Because young people also do not have the ability to distinguish good and bad. They are easily affected by popular cultures, although those cultures are bad. Also, they don’t have self-control ability, they also waste time and money for those stars. It will influence their learning. For example, my friend, Linda had a high GPA in grade 10, but in grade 11, she began to waste time and money for star that she liked. Even she watched the TV show about that star in the classes. At a result, our tutor found her and warned her for his GPA. Because of those reasons, I think the star of popular have a negative effect for young people.
