On Today's Show, your host Reggie is discussing the influence of celebrities through social media. Singers, actors, athletes and other high profile entertainers will not only affect our youth but the older generations as well. 

Celebrities are everywhere and whether you realize it or not, they can easily change the way you look or act. They rely on social media sites to boost their career, but how does that affect you?

One of the key factors for making someone a celebrity is their ability to gain a large following.  If millions of people are watching them then obviously they are impacting someone in one way or another.

People are swayed by things they see every day. So how does social media and content on it affect us? If you have ever seen a picture of a celebrity, you have most likely noticed how flawless they look or how perfect their life seems. Most people look down on themselves after comparing their look to the pictures, causing them to want to change who they are in order to look like their favorite celebrity. For example, many people seek to emulate the looks of the Kardashians.

We have to also consider the vulgar language, sensual photos and lewd behavior that cause our youth to think that this behavior is the standard for being successful.
