Good Role Models For Females

by teaganx96 | created - 11 Apr 2012 | updated - 11 Apr 2012 | Public

Of any age, really.

These are mostly my role models, though I personally believe people should not look simply to celebrities for guidance. I think everyone is a role model in a way, but these are just some of the girls I love and do not do stupid or trashy things for fame, but seem very genuine and all around good, whether it's their attitude about life, their talent(s), their classiness or innocence, confidence level, etc...I am a sixteen-year-old girl, by the way, just for reference.

NOT IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER, OKAY.

She's definitely on the top of my role models list. She's amazing in so many ways: beautiful, talented, intelligent, confident, dorky (in that cute way), down-to-earth, classy. She's very physically fit, but in a healthy way. When you look at her, you wouldn't assume she's anorexic or unhealthy. She stays fit by actual exercise and eating healthily. I would seriously be her if that was even possible. She also makes me feel better about myself. She shows that you don't have to have big tits or have to act slutty to get attention from men. She mostly plays independent, intelligent, confident women, so that's definitely something that I love about her.

Okay, I just flat out love everything about her. I don't care if she isn't the hottest thing out there. To me, she's just perfect in every way. Her personality just outdoes her physical imperfections (though there aren't many lol). She's so down-to-earth and humorous. She's sarcastic, witty, talented, smart, doesn't like Justin Bieber (okay, that just makes a perfect human being alone). But yeah. I love her and I would marry her if I could.

Okay, I don't really agree with everyone promoting obesity because obesity is not something you promote, okay. It causes serious health problems later in life, but I do think she is a good role model because she is comfortable in her own skin no matter what she looks like. Plus, she's beautiful nonetheless.
