Should celebrities be allowed to glamourise hard drugs to teens? / myLot

I have been disgusted to see the likes of Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse blatantly taking Cocaine or Pete doughtry taking heroine in front of the general public while they are prefroming or at parties and the police seem to do nothing about it! Young people look up to them and might follow in there example because it looks glamorous and there doesn't seem to be any consequences, they can still win Grammy awards like Amy Winehouse and still get amazing modeling contracts and a clothing range in Topshop like Kate Moss. What can we do to stop these awful celebrities from influencing our youth?

I think celebs should NOT be looked up on as role models for anything and society should simply turn their backs to these people who simply sell themselves. Stop giving them publicity and they will shrivel. Thats what we need to do.

I agree but unfortunately lots of people like to buy the magazines and visit the websites and give the celebs loads of publicity. It's also an issue that someone could buy a celeb mag with one celeb that they agree with on the cover, and then learn that it has loads of people like Kate Moss inside, so their money has still gone towards giving them publicity.

I agree, celebrities always seem to be get let off when they are caught breaking the law. It isn't fair that they are doing awful things in public and potentially influencing the younger generation.

Absolutely, they should not be allowed to demonstrate their monstrously poor behaviour in public. What they do behind closed doors is their own concern, but not out in clubs, showing off their bloodshot eyes and powdery noses to anyone with a camera.
