Although this is true, it is often seen that their mental health is ignored by the general public. Regardless of their social status, they are still human beings with emotions who are put under a lot of stress. Artists like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Kanye West have been public with their mental health struggles, people choosing to ignore them. As justification for these feelings, people say: ''They're rich and famous, why would they be unhappy?'' This stigma is extremely damaging, especially when these people have a huge spotlight on them at all times. This issue not being talked about could lead to very serious levels where celebrities do not get the help they may need, risking the build-up of unhealthy habits. ]]> 2022-12-08 15:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lgfields/eqsme1ycey9haf8g/wish/2414467782 lgfields https://padlet.com/lgfields/eqsme1ycey9haf8g/wish/2415714211 Summarize- In this article, the author gives examples of different celebrities who have struggled with different mental health issues/disorders. It preaches that a lot of them have stayed silent about their problems, but the ones who have spoken out are talked about as weak or ''not real''.

Assess- This source does a good job of explaining the issue at hand and providing evidence from researchers to support the idea. Bringing up a point of how celebrities are seen as role models in TV, music, etc. People often use them to make choices based on cinematic or musical influence.

Given the fact that people follow celebrities' examples and change to agree with their opinions, seeing them damaged mentally may expand the problem of mental health. People tend to subconsciously alter their normal to be more like the celebrity. To solve this, I think that there should be resources where they can get help and support. At the first sign of distress, they should be able to talk to someone rather than it being too late. Instead of being shamed, there should be specific people who are personal therapists to everyone who may need the help. ]]> 2022-12-15 03:33:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lgfields/eqsme1ycey9haf8g/wish/2421369523 lgfields https://padlet.com/lgfields/eqsme1ycey9haf8g/wish/2423109598 Summarize- Throughout this article, there are many different reasons given to why celebrities should speak out about their mental health, using examples like Kurt Cobain and Billie Eilish.

Assess- This source was beneficial to support the topic because it has detailed, multiple examples of famous people who struggle. It gives the idea that social media can be very toxic, reflecting an image that people have ''perfect lives'' when they are struggling too.

Reflection- I think this source is really helpful, especially because it brings social media as an aspect in the argument. While it brings up the toxicity of social media, it also discusses the positives, giving others a sense of belonging and a place to share thoughts.
