Should young people be allowed to be pop stars?

 

With ever increasing reality television programmes such as 'Britain's Got Talent' and 'X Factor', there is certainly more opportunity for young people to enter the limelight and have the opportunity to become a pop star. However, there is much debate as to whether it is healthy for people to enter the pressured world of stardom at such a young age. So the question is 'should children be allowed to be pop stars?'

Many people would agree that young people should have the opportunity to showcase their talents to a broader audience. These talents include singing, dancing and playing musical instruments which young people should be rightly proud of. The experience of performing to a large audience is a very rewarding experience; it helps to boost the confidence of the performer. In addition to this, watching young people with such talent can be very inspirational for other young people watching the television shows. This could therefore encourage more young people to become involved in performing arts.

On the other hand, taking part in programmes such as 'Britain's Got Talent' and 'X Factor' does come with its own pressures. By taking part, young people are placing themselves in a vulnerable position where they could be openly criticised on national television. If they are judged in a negative way, this could be detrimental to their self-esteem and could have long lasting consequences on their confidence. Moreover, if young people are successful in their pursuit of becoming a pop star in shows such as these, they will then be thrown into the world of stardom which they may not be prepared for or may find hard to cope with. The media today puts so much pressure on stars to look and act a certain way which could be unhealthy for such young minds.

In conclusion, there are many valid points to support both sides of the argument as to whether young people should be allowed to become pop stars. Certainly, young people should have the opportunity to perform and be proud of their talents but some of the pressures they face are concerning. Which leads to the point, should there be a separate programme to celebrate young people’s talents as opposed to those such as 'Britain's Got Talent' and 'X Factor'?

A few more weeks until SATs !

SATs is really stressful so follow the top 5 ways to cope with stress. These are:

1) Be active and Exercise

Exercise will reduce some of the emotional intensity that you’re feeling, clearing your thoughts and enabling you to deal with your problems more calmly.

 2) Take control of our self

Always stay positive. If you say I might fail and get bad results, your stress will only get worse.

3) Interact with people

A problem shared is a problem halved. A good support network of friends and family can ease your work troubles and help you see things in a different way.

4) Have some ‘me time'

 

Have a break an often as you want to so you can take your mind of the SATs.

5) Do not be negative 

Think of the good levels you can achieve and try not to think of the ones you cannot.

Follow these steps to relive the stress!
