The most important role models should and could be parents and teachers. But that said, once you're a teenager you've probably gotten as much of an example from your parents as you're going to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My parents are good role models because they've worked hard and gave me a happy childhood.
I never set out to be a role model, but I guess parents like it because I am dedicated to school.
I would say that my role model, as far as just somebody leading by example, which to me is what a great youth counselor does - they are there to talk to and lead by example - would be my mom, but she wasn't a youth counselor. She was a teacher, and she is a good person and definitely one of the biggest influences in my life.
As a parent, I have a job as a role model to my children, and by extension, to other young people.
The only reason we make good role models is because you guys look up to athletes and we can influence you in positive ways. But the real role models should be your parents and teachers!
I looked up to my parents because they were very successful in what they wanted to do. I was lucky; I didn't have to look far for role models.
I don't see myself as a role model; people should look to mothers and sisters as role models.
Parents must lead by example. Don't use the cliche; do as I say and not as I do. We are our children's first and most important role models.
But I think role models also start in the home with your parents.
I'm not a role model. I say parents should parent and monitor their kids.
