Becoming Famous?

well, it depends to what a person likes, aims and dreams... . it their own business... dont tell me you dont have a dream? it is their dream too... but i dont like to be famous.. what i want is to have a happy life....

i agree. now i think all teenagers like to become famous, they even don't think all the consequences they will suffer. for me as a teenager i don't like to be famous cause i don't want my personal life to be introduced to the public, im not a book that they can always open everytime they like to. i liked all actors/actresses and sometimes i pity them, when i see them crying because of intrigues.

I think as 'kids' we all wanted to be famous at something. Mine was writting, now I don't think I can write a comprehensible sentence!!!! I see this 'famous' in my grandkids and the kids I teach at church. Even to when I say to the teens 'what do you plan on doing when you get out of school?" and my granddaughter (14) informed me she was 'marrying someone rich and famous so she didn't have to work!'...I hate trying to reason with her, she just tells me how wrong I am and you just wait and see!!!! I just look at her mom and say "I am glad she's going home with you!"

I am with you, I would rather not be famous. But when your as great as me... lol j/k But I value my privacy too much. My teen aged daughter wants to be in a band, and she does have talent, I encourage her to play her guitar but I am not too hip to her being "famous".

lelin, during our younger days there was no tv so we were not exposed to all these types of programs. Tv in my country came very late, in the mid 70`s and that too Govt controlled. Cable TV came even much later in the late 80`s and reality shows made their appearance in the mid 90`s. These shows brought hordes of young people and eager parents wanting to cash out with the help of such shows. As sponsorship grew the attraction of earning a big cash prize and the ensuing fame made these people go for it even at the cost of their education. Today the desire to earn instant riches and get instant fame has become a craze.School and college dropouts have found a way and means to have a good income. You will be surprised to know that with the many dance talent hunt shows blossoming on the TV, the number of choreographers has increased phenomenonally. Youngsters who come from poor and rural backgrounds ,not being able to earn a good living, take a few dancing lessons,take part in a few dancing talent shows on tv, become known and then start dancing classes and start earning.The main attraction is to get to act in movies and especially in India which is virtually a movie making factory with hundreds of movies being made in all the regional languages there is ample scope for the numerous wannabe singers and dancers to showcase their talent and hope for a chance to play a part in them and become rich and famous.

Well, we can understand those who have the passion and talent in acting and other performing arts. But those who you say have no talents and would like to become famous are really annoying. We see them on TV with nothing but sweet smiles and no talents at all. They just want to be seen and be admired perhaps by people.

They just see the Glamour and Fame they do not see behind the Scenes they think it is a wonderful Life and plenty of money, high Life They do not see the bad in the Life of Glamour

I think, it is not only the fame that attracts them. But I think the youth are attracted to the "It" factor of being a celebrity brings. Like, VIP treatment in hot spot, or high end bars, clubs, restaurants etc... The priviledges of having clothes for free, designer gowns, shoes, bags. And also the money they can earn by being a celebrity. And with the emergence of reality shows, seems like, even if you don't have talents, as long as you make stupid things ..you can be famous. They want the fame and even losing their privacy. I don't quite understand too. But it is what attracts the youth, or almost every body these days. Maybe because, it is almost like a one step, one night transformation, bringing you fame, money, and others. (^^,)

Hi lelin, I think there have always been some young people who wanted to be famous, even some with very little talent. You are right though, once a person becomes famous there life will change forever. The young people of today are more self-confident than previous generation and willing to try almost anything. Blessings.

I don't understand it, either, unless they think they'll be rich. People want to be rich without working for the money. I never wanted to be famous, either, and guard my privacy like the Hope Diamond. I think that most of these people want wealth the easy way and have no idea of the price they would pay for it.

i think it goes with peoples personalities more.. i always wanted to be famous but not for making a fool of myself lol.. but im also the type that was singing and dancing and acting in front of people at an early age at church.. yeah it was church but i enjoyed it and it was something i was good at.. heck if my health was better i would pursue it but yeah its sad when people that want it so bad and have no talent at all.. but im mostly an open book on my life anyways so not much that they would find that wouldnt already be public knowledge publicity wise

I don't want to be famous like the young people think.I'd like to be famous for writing a book.A famous author of a best seller.I would not want to be in entertainment.

hi lelin1123, Becoming Famous? that is the dream of every people^^ i also want to be famous someday like bill gates he is my idol... i follow him on my twitter hahaha.. being famous is a good thing i can know more friends and have more fans... with the right path i take i can be famous... its a perfect opportunity for me and my future... think of it.. its the one of the best thing that a human can achieve................ .=)

Yes i completely agree. This is a trend these days among teenagers to become famous. That i feel is because they don't have the understanding of the thin line between being famous and being rich. This trend associates fame with riches or rather the other way round. A kind deed for the society or a revolutionary deed in a community is enough to give fame but not always riches. This i guess draws the youth of today to televisions and cinemas. But as everything has another side to it i admit there's a lot of talented youth out there. What i wish and appeal to the youth is that don't follow the crowd. Understand that special quality in you, nurture it and use it for the betterment of you and the society. No one can stop them from becoming famous then!!!

confidence vary from person to person, some lack it, some have overwhelming confidence to try and sees themselves as worthy of praises, others are just glared at how stars shine their way up. some want to do it for money, for their families and for themselves.

These young people must have something amiss in their life. If they had all the love at home that they possibly could get from their parents, they would more or less be content with not being famous, but now they probably want to prove something. It's most human, although you might not know what's in store for you when you are famous. If you want to be famous just to stand out and prove something due to a bad upbringing, then chances are that you will not be able to handle the fame. Unless you happen to have a hit song, it takes hard work to get there and stay there. You don't have to sing like Frank Sinatra. You can sing like someone with the flue or struggling to reach the higher notes like Joe Cocker, as long as you keep to the notes and have the charisma and the contacts and the perseverance, you can do it. Not for me though.
