Should child actors in shows marketed to younger audiences be expected to serve as role models for people their age?
Yes! Young actors should be able to hold themselves to a higher standard instead of falling through the cracks when they know that younger kids look up to them.
There are many young actors in Hollywood who know how to hold themselves together since they know that they are advertising to an audience who should not have to witness them behaving badly. On the other hand, there are the Disney stars who show up on T.V or in magazines doing things that they shouldn't be doing. For example, now on Disney, we have teenage girls such as Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato. Miley Cyrus has a history of repeatedly behaving what other people consider bad for their children to view. She showed up in an issue of Vanity Fair, she dated men that were over the age of 18 while she was still a minor, her music videos are too provocative and she pole danced at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards. All this behavior is something that parents would not approve of their child viewing. As for Demi Lovato, she ended up going to rehab for cutting herself. That is also a thing where parents do not want their kids to learn of that kind of stuff.
Both of these young ladies have had their pictures leaked on to the Internet, where they are exposed or there are racy pictures of them. Either they should learn how to have more respect for both themselves and the company that they work for, or in my opinion, they should not be allowed to be in the industry at all. When these girls show up anywhere where their names are being headlined for something wrong that they did, the parents of younger children do not want them to have to witness that for the purpose of keeping them from even learning about those type of stuff that should be left for the adults. If child stars such as Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato want to act more grown up o taken more seriously by a wider range of audience, the they should be on Disney Channel where there are millions of kids viewing them worldwide.
