Teenagers and their idols
In adolescence, thirst for emotions and newbright impressions just go off scale.

What can threaten a teenager with an excessive passion for an idol?
If a teenager just likes to listen to musica certain group and often buys her discs, if in his room just hangs a couple of beautiful posters, then it does not need to interfere with him - most likely, this "fanatism" is absolutely safe.
But there are teenagers who, in pursuit of their ownidols are ready to follow even to the end of the world. They do not miss a single concert or match, no one conference, they try to get closer to the "star". For such "serious" fans there is even a term - groups of.
Groups - this is the "highest caste" of fans, access towhich teenagers are eager to get. Groups can communicate with their idol in the dressing room, be "boys and girls on errands", get the right to free entrance to the so-called fan zone.
But to get these valuable, in terms offan, privilege, often teenagers agree to be close to their idol. A bouquet of infectious diseases, unwanted pregnancy - these are just a small part of those "privileges" that a teenager can actually get.
Imitation of his idol - for a teenager is another way to reach the "star". Unfortunately, many idols are not the best examples to follow: alcohol, drugs, promiscuity, violence ...
How to protect the teenager from possible troubles?
Fight with worship idol parents very muchdifficult - juvenile maximalism and the spirit of contradiction make a teenager ignore even the most reasonable advice. And the ban on attending events with the participation of an idol teenager can easily answer the escape from home ...
On a teenager who already "fell ill" idol, it is unlikelywill act and talk about the fact that "such fans are millions". Therefore, it is better to try to recognize the "groupings" at the earliest stages and not let the ordinary passion go into a dangerous emotional dependence.
Teenager should be available as much as possibleto explain that in life his idol is exactly the same person as the others. The way an idol behaves on stage or in a movie is just his work. If the child does not realize this difference, then in the future it can be grasped by bitter disappointment.
Be sure to have a conversation with a teenagerabout the need for contraception, even if it seems that he already knows everything. Information of adolescents about "this", despite the abundance of information, can be the most fantastic.
Worship of some idol is not alwaysan independent problem. Sometimes ardent worship is nothing but a consequence of already existing psychological problems. After all, the teenager goes to the fans to get something, which he lacks in his everyday life. The most competent way out of the situation will be an appeal to a psychologist - he will help to understand the inner problems of a teenager, help a teenager solve them.
