HUMAN LIKE YOU & I

So, celebrities have it bad when it comes to the media because everything that they do is magnified times 1000! They are always in the public eye and the average Joe could do the same thing and no one would really care. It really bothers me that people go crazy over the things that celebrities do like they are not human just like the rest of us. The most recent thing to hit the news that just made me roll my eyes were pics of Justin Bieber with a blunt in his hand! People went absolutely bonkers over this photo! Seriously, who cares about him smoking! I understand that smoking is not really legal in all states yet but cry me a river, Justin Bieber smokes weed! Now, I’m going to go jump off a cliff because my life isn’t worth living anymore! Yeah right! Let this young man live his life! He is definitely not the first or last person in the world to smoke! Now, let’s move on to some older news but recent as well. So, Rihanna decided to let Chris Brown back into her life (like he ever left). We all remember that fateful night when he beat her to smithereens but seriously that was 4 years ago and if she can move on from it then the world needs to as well. It’s her life and she can do what she wants with it. It may not be the smart thing to do according to some people but it’s not up to the public to play judge and jury! That privilege belongs to a higher power. Celebrities get it bad and I can only imagine how strong you have to be in order to not let the media and the public break you. Let’s face it, the public and the media can be very cruel and can make or break a celebrity. But celebrities are not holier than thou they are human just like non-celebrities and should be cut some slack. After all, it’s not up to celebrities to raise our younger generation even though a lot of them look up to these celebrities like Bieber and Rihanna. I do feel as though that they should be more careful with some of the things they do, but at the end of the day they should be living for themselves and not the media or the public.
