Advice

16/f

I recently asked a terribly long question. But basically, I have tons of attention on myself. People find my life very interesting (not that anyone steps in to help me). People "copy" how I stand, dress, do my make-up and they take pictures and make videos trying to be me. Keep in mind it is all meant in a negative way, but it is still an "all eyes on me" situation.

With all of this attention devoted to me, what can I do as a positive role model? It's difficult to get "small favours" talked about seeing as school is out and people only talk about more "important" things. I would really like to use this as an advantage, I am just not sure how.

My facebook page is frequented by people trying to "observe" the on-goings with all of the conflict in my life. I feel like a celebrity with a lot of bad publicity, but that is okay. I would really like to use this as a chance to put some positive messages out there.

Thanks, and sorry if the question is not very specific! =)

Unless you're actually famous, then I doubt anything you do will influence anyone else who visits. To be a role model, you really have to have done something special or be particularly good at what you do.

I don't have any role models who aren't at the top of their field, as being a role model means that you are something that people aspire to be BECAUSE you're so good at it. It's then that you need to worry about people mimicing your behaviour - what you describe sounds to me just like kids messing around,

Facebook is the anti-myspace in that your friends are generally people you know personally, not totally random strangers. So if the attention is unwanted, delete them and make your profile limited. That way there's no negative attention on you as they don't know what you're doing.

Sorry I couldn't be more specific, but it's a rather broad question - if yuo want to elaborate further, then send me a question :)

(Rating: 3) I don't think you need to be famous to make a difference, but thanks
