Teenage Role Models?

When I was younger, I watched shows like Boy Meets World, Full House, and Home Improvement. In my opinion, they were wholesome, family sitcoms - a type of show that rarely exists anymore. I wanted to be like the girls on Full House - in fact, I got to pick my own middle name, and I picked Stephanie .... because of my love for that show! They were good role models, for the most part, and gave young-teenage girls someone good to look up to. As we got older, singers like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera started to arrive on scene, and we began looking up to them. Although somewhat controversial at the time, the way they acted and dressed back then was a lot more mild than the "role models" teenage girls have to look up to now.
What do young girls have to look up to these days? The wholesome sitcoms are hard to come by. Sure, you can catch repeats of older shows on ABC Family and Nick at Nite, but the shows that are directed toward the "tween" age group, and the actresses and singers admired by this age group, are often questionable. Girls still look up to Britney Spears, and although she is making a comeback, look at her actions over the past two years. Is this what young teenage girls should be looking up to?
Then there are the ever famous Disney Channel stars, such as Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana), Demi Lavato, and numerous others, such as the stars of the High School Musical movies. The "tween" girls want to BE these girls. And yet, how often do we hear stuff on the news about another "wardrobe malfucntion", or picture controvery, or affairs with older men. The stories about them are endless. And while some of them are undoubtedly false, a lot of other things are true. Everything these stars do is looked up to, admired, and copied by these young girls. They see Miley Cyrus or someone in a semi-revealing outfit on stage, which reminds them of what they've seen Britney Spears do, and MAN! That must be cool! And then you have your 12 year old daughter/niece/sister wanting to wear super tight clothes and dye their hair.
I guess what I'm trying to say, and perhaps rant about, is that really good role models seem to be hard to come by for young girls these days. And the ones that really are good role models do not receive nearly as much attenion as the ones that are not. I don't have a whole lot to back me up on this - it's more my personal thoughts. I am selfishly glad that I don't have a little sister, becuase I'd be freaking out as she grows up about the girls out there for her to "look up to". I'm not really sure that there's a solution - the media is always going to give the attention to whoever's making headlines, which usually results from some sort of drama - which probalby aren't the best role models. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that all the role models for these tween girls are bad, or even that people like Miley Cyrus is doing an awful job as a role model. I just think that there are so many negative role models, or stories out there, that it's scary to think what little girls might be looking up to. Hopefull society can instill in our children that you don't have to act like the girls you see on tv/hear on the radio...
