Who do young girls look up to?

This email came in for one of our regular listeners, Steve

"I just read the Lindsay Lohan was arrested again. For drunk driving, and they also found cocaine in her car. Unfortunately, girls grow up thinking that Lohan and Paris Hilton are role models. They emulate them, they dress like them, and unfortunately, they act like them. I really fear the future of society where girls think it's okay to put everyone at risk on the road, engage in very irresponsible behavior, and use illicit drugs (cocaine can actually kill, and it has killed many)........

Also, the behaviors that go along with cocaine usage are enough to make any parent cringe. Why don't girls have role models that aren't selfish, self absorbed, drug abusing attention seekers? I pray that Britain and the rest of the world don't look up to monsters like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, there would be no future for humanity if the rest of the world is like this too. I hope she gets a HUGE sentence, so maybe something good can come of this if girls can see that you go to jail when your life is all about partying and not caring about how you might affect other people. Enough with this self absorbed instant gratification society!
Steve"

Who do young girls look up to today? If you're a teenage girl, do you have a role model? Ask your daughters, sisters or friends, and let us know if there are any worthy role models for them. If you're a parent, are you concerned who your daughter aspires to be like?
