Is Miley Cyrus giving the right image to youth of today?

First of all let's just say that Miley is a very popular singer and actress, whatever she chooses to wear is obviously what she likes and what is going to strike up some attention. Miley is a very honest girl and if you see most photos of her she is just in your everyday jeans and tees. The only time she is really done up is during performances, when she, along with other artists like her dress wildly. Those "wild" outfits are normally performance outfits and aren't worn out in everyday life.

Just like Miley's clothing line that is available at Wal-mart she dresses very simple. She wants kids to be able to wear what she does and feel comfortable and if you ask me the outfits seem completely normal. If this was a question asking if Lady Gaga is giving the right image to youth that would be a completely different story.

Let's face it, these days kids seem to do what they want regardless of what their parents think. So why not let them look up to girls like Miley Cyrus. She is a very responsible teenager that is just going for what she wants in her life and her style is fantastic. She tells girls that they don't have to look like those magazine ads because no one does, not even her.

As I go through Google searching Miley photographs, I noticed that in most of them she is completely covered up. Unless everyone means her pictures on the beach, but she is at the beach therefore she is wearing a bathing suit, OMG! Really, it isn't that big of a deal, I have seen girls in my neighborhood wearing more exotic outfits than her.

People are just jumping to conclusions because they think that she is going to be the next crazy Britney but I believe her morals are there and she just wants to be normal and also have her career. Her fans were upset when she cancelled her twitter account, including me. I always liked to see what the girl was up to and it was always normal things and normal photos of her and her friends. There isn't anything there that makes me think she is giving the wrong idea to today's youth.

Today's youth is going to like what they like, regardless of whether it is hot or not, appropriate or what their parent's approve of. Kids these days have their own style and aren't afraid to show it off. I think if the outfits that Miley or any teenager is choosing is a little out of the ordinary that maybe we as a society should still welcome the kids and let them know they aren't in the wrong. Shouldn't people be noticed from their actions, good or bad? Instead of the outfit they are wearing to meet their friends in.
