Why Miley Cyrus is Still a Good Role Model for Today's Teens

Miley Cyrus is a rarity in today’s entertainment industry. Having just turned 18, she’s one of the few teen superstars who have managed to act their age in light of the tremendous pressure. Above all else she appears grounded, and for someone in her shoes this would be hard. Before legally becoming an adult, Miley Cyrus amassed a reported billion dollar empire with her “Hannah Montana” show and subsequent singing career. In 2010 she began to show some womanly tendencies, strutting onstage in sexier outfits and wearing more makeup than her fans were accustomed to seeing. Some supporters were disappointed, feeling that their original sweetheart had given in to the pressures of Hollywood and abandoned her roots. Nothing could be further from the truth however.

Miley Cyrus has shown that like other teenage girls, she has many layers. In a 2009 article, Wall Street Journal writer Marisa Meltzer states that the 18-year-old pop star provides fans with “a liberating alternative where girls don’t need to define themselves quite so narrowly.” Indeed Miley does not stick to a certain look, nor does she profess to be perfect. She accepts that she’ll make mistakes because she’s human, and that’s an endearing quality for anyone to have.
