__Teenager’s obsession with looks and icons in Great Britain __ Nowadays teenagers seem to think that looks should be one of their number one priorities as well as their urge to be exactly like their favourite celebrity. Some of these teenagers connect to their favourite celebrity in a way that shows mental instability. Lots of girls and boys all over the world do everything in their power to look like their exact image of perfection. Many teenagers has an unhealthy relationship to what they think is "the look". Obsessions like these may lead to dumb decisions and a whole lot of wasted time. Some even wants to act like them. Their own person apparently seems to not be good enough any longer. According to ABC news and [|Time Magazine] there is this thing called Celebrity worship syndrome which makes a person addicted to another person’s life. It’s mostly celebrities people get too interested in and wants to know everything about them, all from what they eat in the morning to when they close their eyes at night.

**Celebrity worship syndrome (CWS) **

There are three types of CWS: __Entertainment-social __ - People in this group are attracted to their favourite celebrity and like to discuss him or her with other people.

__Intense-personal __ - In this dimension a person have intensive and compulsive feelings for a celebrity. He or she thinks that they have some sort of a bond together.

__Borderline-pathological __ - This dimension is filled with people that fantasies and think they are soulmates with a celebritiy they never met. They also seem to think that their celebrity is there in spirit.

Celebrities looking perfect at every cover of a magazine obtusely make an impression on young girls these days. The celebrities looks all glamorous and flawless at the cover of a hot magazine, while behind the camera they look exactly like anyone else. Many girls and boys don’t get that and eventually end up with low self-esteem wondering why they don’t look as good as the person on the cover of their favourite magazine. The reason why would probably be because the person at the picture is not real, photographers spend hours on retouching to make their model beautiful even if it means fake or unreal.Teenagers use too much time looking at the result rather than think about the process it took to get there.W hat basically happens is that all over the world people are trying to be the impossible. It’s not healthy at all. These posters and covers set a bad example for how a normal person should be and a role model for that madder. Both girls and boys do a lot of unnecessarily things to look more attractive. Girls may think about losing weight when they see skinny models, when their actual weight is perfectly normal for their body and age while boys may gain weight to increase their muscle mass to look strong and well trained. The affection people get from media is huge, all from what they hear to what they see.
 * Are celebritys a bad influens on Teenage girls? **

Some of the richest and prettiest celebs are often the most popular and worshiped among people. But lots of them don’t put out a great example for young teenagers. By seeing celebrities buy expensive stuff can cause teenagers to think that money is the way to happiness. If a person is not careful, money can be rather harmful then helpful.Too much money can for some celebrities lied to spontaneous decisions like plastic surgery. Plastic surgery is being used for making your body look better or fixing something you don’t like on your body or face. Many people use it to look even younger than they already are even if it’s highly unnecessarily. It can actually affect teenagers both positively and negatively, the result of the operation can either be bad or good. If it looks bad it may scare some teenagers from ruining their face or make them interested.
