Adventure:
I think that being adventurous is very important for me because it helps me to get out of my conform zone. For me, if I don’t try new things and experience new things I won’t be able to find out what kind of things I like and don’t like. Being adventurous is a way for me to be free in the things that I do and also to experience new things.
Self-respect:
For me, self-respect is really important because it is a way for me to be able to stay in touch with my body and also to know what it needs to stay healthy. Respecting myself and giving myself time to recover from something, whether it is a cold or an injury is really important. It means that I can recover quickly and go back to doing sports and other things.
Connection:
Having connections with people is really important to me because I am very social. I value being able to speak to people even if it is not face to face. I think it is very important to stay connected with people and also just talking and be able to feel connected. It is important to talk to people so that you do not forget how to speak to others and also so that you do not get depressed because you have no one to talk to besides yourself or very limited other people.
The good… Rebel Wilson
What behaviours does this person demonstrate to show they are healthy?
Rebel Wilson is an actress. Rebel Wilson is a famous actor and stands for a lot of things to me. She is a representation that anyone can do anything if they try hard enough, no matter their age, religion, race, skin colour or body type and size. Rebel Wilson has been going against Hollywood’s perfect standards for actresses and people in general. Even though she did lose weight it was not for other people around her but for herself because she wanted to feel happy and content with how she was and in her own body. Rebel Wilson was not only an actress but she also holds a degree in law and justice and was very good at maths. Rebel Wilson has started her own clothing line for plus-sized people that might not be able to find clothes that fit them. Rebel Wilson is also a great representation of being comfortable in your own skin and taking risks. She is never afraid to wear something bold and different. She has worn lots of things that went against the standard of girls but she did not let that stop her and she ended up rocking the outfit and the concert as a whole.
What do they look like? Are they healthy? How do you know?
Rebel Wilson is now a very healthy person especially since she lost weight, but she says that people treat her differently ever since she lost weight.
What message does this person promote? Why is it inspiring and healthy?
Rebel Wilson promotes body positivity and she said that she wants to dispel the negative perceptions about how women should look. Rebel Wilson also says that she wants people to have an image of women as positive and intelligent who should be proud of their spirit. She said that she wanted people not to be ashamed and be happy with their self-image.
Why should young people look up to this person as a role model?
I think that young people should look up to rebel Wilson not because we should be like her but because of the things she represents. For me, Rebel Wilson is very inspirational because she stands up for what she believes in. She does not let the pressure get to her and she also is very determined. I think she is a great role model for anyone of any age because she is a great way to tell people that no matter how you look you are amazing and that it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.

The unhealthy…Justin Bieber
What behaviours does this person demonstrate to show that they are unhealthy?
Justin Bieber has done a lot of things that are not good for his image and are not kind in general. T list some of the bad things that he has done are:
- He kept fans waiting for hours: apparently, he was playing video games backstage and a fan even won the chance to see him one on one and he brushed them off.
- He attacked a photographer once: he punched a photographer after having dinner in Paris
- He abandoned his pet monkey in Germany because he had to fill out lots of paperwork to keep it, so he just left it in Germany.
- He totally missed the point of going to the Anne Frank House: he disrespected it and in the guest, logbook wrote: Truly inspiring to be able to come here. I’m sure Anne was a great Girl. Hopefully she would have been a Belieber.
- He peed in a mop bucket in front of a hotel.
- When he spray-painted a wall in Brazil. It was a protected heritage site. He was caught but left brazil before they could press charges.
- When he egged his neighbour’s house: His neighbour complained about him throwing too many parties and he got charged 80,00 dollars.
- When he drove around drunk. He was arrested for this because he was driving drunk and was doing a drag or drift race on Miami beach.
- When we walked off stage mid-concert
- When he punched a fan: when one fan followed him to try to talk to him.
What do they look like? Do they look unhealthy? How do you know?
Justin Bieber does not look like he is unhealthy at first but if you think about all of the things he has done his personality seems unhealthy because of the unhealthy and unkind things he has done.
What message does this celebrity promote? Why is it unhealthy?
Apparently, the only bad unhealthy message this person ever did was to use drugs. He said he was depressed and that was why he used drugs. SO the only unhealthy message he has ever participated in is Drugs but that is ignoring all of the violence that he used.
Do you think young people should look up to this person as a role model? Why or why not?
I don’t think people should look up to Justin Bieber as a role model for good behaviour but if they want to look up to him because of his music style then that is good. I don’t think they should look up to him as a role model because even if he has done some good things he is still very violent for no reason sometimes and we don’t want people to grow up thinking it is ok to be violent for no reason.
Is everything you hear, read or see in the media true? Discuss.
I don’t think everything you see on the media is true but in this case, I would believe it because it is about someone famous so I don’t think you would fake that.
