Role models are very important to young people because young people need positive people to look up to. When some young people see a positive person they want to be like them. So positive things should be done around young people at all times and that young person will turn out to be so much better. Role models are important because young people tend to follow sometimes instead of leading. If young people see someone doing wrong they are going to feel like it is okay for them to do what they see being done wrong. But if they see an older person doing the right thing they may feel that they want to follow that persons foot steps. Role models are important to young people also because sometimes their minds are not fully functioned yet to teach them what is right and what is wrong and they need some one older to guide and to teach them right from wrong. Role models can also be used as guidance to young children to just sit down and put some knowledge in their brains. Role models are also important to young children to help build their self-esteem. Young children love to tease one another so at times they need someone older to explain to them that they are beautiful and everyone is not perfect. Role models often sometimes are the reason young children grow up to be successful people because they found someone who has their life on the right track and they learn from them.
