Every one of us, regardless of age, loves music. To me, music helps me to release my daily stress and allows me to feel recharged whenever I am tired.  However, nowadays teenagers are so into music that they begin to overdo it.
There are few examples that I am referring to. One of them was dressing and acting like one of the pop stars. Often we can see from the TV programs that even kids nowadays dress up not even in competition, but even in real life, just to look like their idol. Teens do not mind spending all their allowance to purchase their favorite’s idol’s album or anything that related to them. Other teenagers are willing to spend a night at the airport, just to catch a glimpse of their idol when they touched down.

The way the teenagers react to their idols often makes me wonder why.  To me, the singer/actors or actress is just another person who is doing their job by entertaining us and the teens are like just throwing their money to buy something that is not practical. Yes no doubt those entertainer needs to be paid but again why do we pay more other then the CD itself? Don’t the teenagers knows that allowance given to them are hard earn moneys earn by their parents? Another thing is that teenagers get rough while waiting for their idols. The above mention is not the first time report that has taken place. Many even got themselves into trouble by challenging the law enforcer.

Another good example of teenagers too obsessed with their idol was the news on the suicide case. Few months ago, there was a case whereby the teenagers found out his favorite idol was attached, he was so depressed that she wrote down a note declaring her love to the idol and committed suicide.

In my own opinion, I feel that  we can enjoy the music or movies performed by the entertainers, but we must also make sure that we know how to control ourselves and not get ourselves too engross into such trends.  Entertainment is just a way for us to relax and enjoy, not making us tired and forget our main priority
