   I think shes a bad romodel. My are reasons are the nude photos, the tattoo she got and her pole dancing in the party in the U.S.A. What do you guys think of her?
   
   
   
   p.s Actually I dont think she was really pole dancing In that video I change my mind.

      wow, i didn't know she was doing all that.  i must've been living in a cave for a while or something, because this is certainly news to me.  I would like to know your sources, as I think a lot of this sounds like propaganda stirred up by the media and tabloid magazines and such.  Not saying your wrong, but it sounds highly skeptical.
      
      I doubt seriously Milley Cyrus is posed naked in any online photos because a lot of those can be faked.  Ever hear of photo splicing?  I used to know a bunch of guys in high school who could do that.  where they could easily take the head of some celebrity and put it on some random naked chick to make it look like they were posing nude, when they weren't. So unless you cite a legitimate website like yahoo, entertainment weekly, rolling stone magazine or something, then I'm afraid I can't believe you.
      
      However, I will say this though.  I hope for her and Billy Ray Cyrus' sake that everything you said is false though.  Not because I'm a fan of hers as I could care less about her or her family.  I think the tatoo thing is easily forgivable as everyone is getting them now a days.  However, as far as posing nude and pole dancing goes, then her career might be over a lot sooner than expected.  Sure, lets face it, we all knew her career was going to die after she turned 18, and Disney found some other cute and sassy girl to take her place for a while.
      
      But if she's caught in this type of scandal, then I'm pretty sure the execs at disney are going to be pissed.  from doing research on films that are scheduled to come out within the next few years, "Hannah Montana 2" was one of them.  However, if what you say is true, then not only will that movie not see the light of day, her show will get cancelled as well.  Ratings numbers be damned.  Heck, it wouldn't surprise me if Disney does to her, that they did to Lindsey Lohan and just break all ties completely.  Therefore, for her sake, I hope your wrong.  However, then again, her career was going to die anyway.

      I think she is a kid in the spot light who has at least one parent that likes attention.  She is bound to make many mistakes.  I mostly blame her parents for not making more of an effort to reduce her exposure.

         She is a good role modle for kids when shes infront of the camera.
         she has her problems as other teens do. dont call her a slut for posing with her bare back showing in a picture. Every teen takes a pic of themselves at some point.

      Most little girls see her as Hannah Montana, not as Miley Cyrus. The show is cute and as Miley Cyrus her songs are catchy and have fun lyrics. I think she's a good role model. As far as nude photos and tattoos and such that is the media trying to mess with someone. She's 18 now? She can do what she wants.

      I couldn't have said it better myself! Children really need strong role models from their personal lives: parents, teachers, friends in the community. Miley Cyrus and any other entertainers got into the business to be rich and famous, not to make some positive impact on children; therefore, it's irrelevant if she's a good role model or not. She's doing her job, and that doesn't include raising anyone's children. Parents who don't approve of a star's behavior or the things they demonstrate need to take the steps necessary to keep that influence away from their children, and to replace it with something worthwhile.

   She's a typical example, that's all. Typical of every other teen who goes into mega fame and fortune. She's probably a very good person, and she's also a teenager who's going to make mistakes. That's called being human, not being a bad anything. We are pretty much an all-or-nothing society. We like to judge others harshly (particularly celebrities) because it deflects attention from some of our own glaring mistakes and flaws. We get to feel better about us for a moment, until reality settles in that we aren't that much different. We probably did some stupid things in our teen years as well.

      And I agree that she holds great power of influence because of her celebrity status. I personally think that while she is making some honest mistakes (as it were) that she is being enabled by some below average parenting. And I think the girls that are most heavily influenced by her probably have enabling parents as well. Perhaps not in all cases, mind you. I don't think stereotyping is good, but I do believe from what I've seen that *a lot* of enabling parents cave to every "Miley" whim in many cases. And I suppose, as demonstrated through the headlines, that Miley's parents may also be of similar mindset.
      
      Stupidity seems to happen often among entitled, wealthy people. Perhaps it happens just as frequently with less wealthy and famous, but they certainly don't make the headlines like wealthy and famous people do.
      
      I agree with UW and others that celebrities really shouldn't ever be considered roll models. But for whatever reasons, we tend to look for heros. We should be our own best hero, really. Becoming our best self and overcoming the huge obstacles that face us individually should make us a hero of sorts, but we always look elsewhere.

    I agree with UW, why would we even consider celebrities as role models?  Of course, without proper upbringing or supervision, kids will tend to look up to them, but that's where good parenting comes in.  It's important that they be taught that celebrities are just like us and make just as many, if not more, mistakes than we do.

       I don't know about restricting. I always think of that as a form of "book burning." I think knowledge is power. You certainly don't give a 6 year old a driver's license and a condom and say "be responsible out there", but you do give the knowledge they need for the time they will need it. It does take a lot of work to teach kids (constantly) about what's *really* going on in the world, but having raised two kids myself, who made typical mistakes, I'm glad I didn't hesitate to talk and show them what was "behind" a lot of things that were huge trends in their growing up years. I still tell my kids "knowledge is power." If you know why people are acting the way they do, you can think independently of them, and at times, save your own life.

       I understand where you're coming from, but I would have to disagree. My parents never restricted any kind of media whatsoever. I was allowed to watch whatever I wanted, at any age (although, I suppose they would have restricted porn, but it never came up). HOWEVER, my parents took the time to watch things with me, to talk about them, and to teach me the difference between right and wrong, fantasy and reality. The media will not have undue influence on children who have been taught appropriately and who know its place.

    I don't really approve of Miley Cyrus, but I don't blame her. I blame her father. He pushed her into the spotlight. He wanted to live through her. Can you imagine what being in the spotlight 24/7 for a 14-16 year old girl could do? I don't even like it when a person stares at me for more than five seconds and I'm 20 years old. Imagine being a young girl, going through puberty, and having fame thrust upon you. Of course she's going to be a bit messed up. Expecting anyone to be perfect, even a celebrity, is an ideal that will never be met. If you don't like her, don't watch/listen to her. If you don't want her as your child's role model, don't let your child watch/listen to her, but good luck finding a good role model if you expect these high standards because everyone has shadows of their past and future ready to jump out and make themselves known at any time.

    In her own weird way, I think Miley tries to be a role model, or at least Disney tries to make her one.  The problem with Miley as a role model is--maybe she doesn't want to be a role model.  The public makes celebrities into role models, whether they like it or not; many don't like it.  Lots of teenagers get tattoos, but it's an issue if Miley gets one. I think she was encouraged by whatever magazine published her "revealing" photos that weren't particularly revealing.  Was it the right thing to do?  No, but Miley probably figured Madonna did it and Demi Moore and whoever else, so what's the big deal?
    
    Miley might not be a good role model for teens, but maybe she never intended to be, which doesn't make her a bad person.

    I believe that Miley is a great role model for young girls. Her character on Hannah Montana is driven and shows girls how to pursue their ambitions. Her lyrics focus around individuality and standing up for yourself. All good people make mistakes that doesn't make them any less good. She has reacted maturely in every situation mentioned above as negative and i feel that shows her strength. I wasn't aware of the tattoo thing before this forum but it does not change my opinion. A lot of young people have tattoos for their own reasons. I feel that it is very accepted. Accepted enough to share my first one at the family Christmas party.
