A majority of people think that media coverage of celebrities is having a negative effect on children. I mostly agree with this opinion.
I agree that the amount of media coverage of celebrities can have a negative impact on children because children often tend to compare themselves to others and them constantly seeing celebrities and comparing themselves to them can lead to lack of self confidence. Constantly seeing media coverage of celebrities can negatively impact developing minds because celebrities often have unhealthy lifestyles or have problematic behaviour and young children can get influenced by them.
On the other hand, sometimes media coverage of celebrities can also have positive impact, for example if a child has a dream of becoming an actor or a singer and they have a celebrity they can look up to and motivates them to not give up on their goals and dreams or if a child has the same issue as a celebrity they can feel less alone and have representation
In conclusion, I mostly agree with the the opinion that media coverage of celebrities is having a negative impact on children, because in most cases it will negatively impact children’s developing minds but also media coverage of celebrities has a few positive parts.
