7.Sounds crazy?Fans across the UAE(阿联酋)are so excited as Justin Bieber is scheduled to perform at a stadium in Dubai on May 4.In less than 36 hours all the tickets available were sold out.If you have a teenager lying under your roof,it's likely that she has spent your hard-earned cash on some concert tickets.Clare Smart,a researcher on teenage development in Dubai,has some ideas about the pop phenomenon."Justin Bieber is a teenager himself and therefore teenagers feel a connection to him,in the songs that he sings,his hairstyle and how he dresses…he represents what many teenagers would like for themselves,such as the latest clothing trends,exciting travel and high earnings.Besides,it gives teenagers the feeling of being part of a group and a shared experience with other teenagers who have the same interest in a particular celebrity…"says Smart.
It's easy to be sheltering as a parent and it's a good idea to talk to your teenagers about their idols,find out what they like about them and why."You could accompany your teenagers to a concert or listen along to the latest song in the car with them,"suggests Smart."This shows that you are interested in the things they consider to be important."
Sometimes,however,a normal level of interest slips into an obsession (痴迷) and then it becomes a cause for concern.It is now considered a personality disorder,which is closely related to higher levels of depression,anxiety and stress.In practice,teenagers who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents.
The good news,however,is that there is plenty that parents can do to prevent their teenagers from becoming overly obsessed with those so called celebrities.Let them know what their real life is like behind the story,and they can see these celebrities in a new angle.
