Social media influencers are bad role models for young people

I used to think that way too, like influencers were just all about promoting unrealistic stuff and setting bad examples. But honestly, it's not all black and white. I have teenagers, and sometimes these influencers actually bring up good topics that we can discuss. It's more about guiding our kids on how to see through the nonsense and make their own judgments, you know?

Honestly, I understand the concerns, but social media influencers aren't all bad for kids. Sure, there are some toxic ones, but there are also influencers who promote positivity, mental health awareness, and body positivity. My niece started following this fitness influencer, and it actually motivated her to be more active - so it's not all bad vibes from influencers.

Social media influencers may not be everyone's cup of tea, but saying they're all bad role models for kids? Come on now. I mean, sure, there are some bad apples, but that goes for any group, right? My daughter follows a fitness influencer who promotes a healthy lifestyle - nothing wrong with that!
