NONE. Are you insane?

Answer 12

I always thought that Reese Witherspoon was a good role model for the young girls today. She's successful and talented, a good mother and wife, and you don't see her out partying and making a fool of herself. She dresses like a lady too and not like a tramp. All this, and she's a young woman. Kudos to her!

Answer 16

The most effective role model for a child is the parents. If you want your child/children to be responsible adults then teach them responsibly.

As far as famous people go, I opt for Michael Jordon,

Franz Beckenbauer he is incredible not only a footballing master he both captained and managed West. Germany to the world cup now he is on the FIFA commitee to promote football helping young poor african children to have a better life with better facilities to play.

Answer 20

That's an interesting question....because there aren't many.

Based in UK, I thought first of all David Beckham - but then there was the shananigans with the affair he's supposed to have had. Also, he's quite narcissistic.

Tony Blair? Well....depends on what you think of his strategy on Irac.

Nelson Mandela? Yes, that's a good one. But I guess he is quite elderly, so not all young people would think him cool enough.

How about the singer Pink? I like her song "Wanna be a stupid girl" She's highlighting the way young women think they should pretend to be stupid. I like the ideology behind that.

Some of Black Eyed Peas songs are quite deep.....

It's not easy, this, is it?

Answer 21

Hilary Duff is great!

Answer 22

Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance because he overcame addiction to all sorts of drugs and no longer drinks alcohol, smokes or does drugs! hes great! Especially as a lot of the people he is surrounded by still do it and a lot of his fan base does as well so good role model!

Answer 23

Mathew McConaughey- I know he is older, but just the fact that he has been in this business for so long and that he is still REAL, is a refreshing thing to see. He is a true hollywood cowboy, his parents raised him well. I have actually had the chance to meet him expecting a glance, smile, autograph, NEXT! But no, he actually took time to speak to me about college, and being raised in texas...*sigh* lol He just seems like what you see is what you get.

Answer 24

None... God and the parents should be the biggest role models...

Answer 25

My girlfriends and I were just having this discussion. When we were little, we aspired to be doctors, astronauts, lawyers, engineers and this like. Children today (especially little girls) aspire to be singers, actors or sports stars. These careers are ones in which only a small percentage of those who attempt it actually succeed and gain fame. It is unrealistic for children to focus on such careers. It is our obligation as adults to encourage children toward interests, hobbies and possible career choices that don't focus on entertainment or sports. I'm not saying that those aren't valid and worthy interests, but again, that they are unrealistic career aspirations. Oprah did a great segment on this topic with Pink recently.

Answer 26

Nobodys is perfect and stars should not conform to the moral minority or relgious nut blinkers parents view of whats sending out messages or assciated rubbish...

In fact trying to be same impotent fictional being who is never naughty, picks no fights and has a sex life worse then the pope is NOT a good role model nore is someone who does not grow up...

A good role model is one who tried to be fairly honourable and not to screw others unecessary. Who may get into fights but when justified. Who may drink even do the odd joint or minor drug use but sensibly, in small amounts and grow out of it like most.

And if things get out of hand ask for help.

But don't bullshit, try to be something they are or or what humans can't be to panda to the relgious unrealistic parents into some kind of neutered fluffy kitten as people are not like that.

Those who try wind up basket cases. Then on serious drugs or alcoholisim as highly depressed and stressed.

Answer 27

Vlad the Impaler, he had a long interesting and happy, for him at least, life and an even longer death.

Under his pseudonym Dracula, he has been in the movie industry since it started and has no doubt a long and fruit(bat)ful career still ahead of him.

Answer 28

I would definitely have to say Oprah. She is an amazing individual that has done so much for so many people. She is changing lives everyday.

Answer 29

Clay Aiken!!

Despite what you hear Clay is a good Christian man who is NOT gay!!

Answer 30

I have too many answers so I'm going to put them all on here: Hilary Duff, even though she's a sweetheart she still loves Joel Madden!! There is Ashley Tisdale (alot of people don't know her), she does alot of Disney things she has a good eduacation all that sort of stuff. Jamie Lynn Spears her sister might not be so well but she is a very good role model for children. Well maybe I don't have very many but I still had some!!

Answer 31
