When someone says the phrase, “the best of both worlds” what do you automatically think of? Hannah Montana. A sixteen-year-old pop star has tainted this perfectly good phrase, and also the minds of the younger generation of America.
Hannah Montana is a role model for many children, especially little girls, of our nation today. As far as I am concerned, Hannah Montana is not a good example for these kids to be looking up to. Some disastrous messages include: lying about her normal and her celebrity life to the people she is with, even her friends, and unknowingly teaching them that it is ok to be someone other than yourself; that being someone different is so much cooler.
Lying is always bad, no matter what the excuse is. One of the main problems in elementary schools today is not fitting in. the non-acceptance of who they really are plays a major role in that problem. What are we teaching our children? Is this the person that you want the leaders of the future looking up to?
A ban of all Hannah Montana merchandise from the stores of Montana would decrease the level of miniature Hannah Montanas in our state. But as everyone knows, we all can’t have the best of both worlds.
