Top Ten Worst Role Models for Kids

The Top Ten

1 Miley Cyrus Miley Cyrus Miley Ray Cyrus is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Miley Cyrus's voice is contralto. She became a teen idol starring as the character Miley Stewart in the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana in 2006. Her father Billy Ray Cyrus also starred in the show.

Look, no one expected Miley to stay a disney chick forever. Obviously she was going to perform more mature songs eventually. She was the most loved disney girl of all time. She was scared she would only be seen as Hannah, so she went totally overboard by losing her clothes, twerking, writing disgusting music, and doing drugs to say she was done with disney. There is such thing as growing up without losing yourself (and your clothes). Victoria justice is in her 20's and you don't see her acting sleazy. She is very disrespectful. She knew how big her kid fan base was but she still decided to just throw them to the side, leaving them out on the curb. She needs to check herself. I am NOT saying she should go back to disney music, but at least make appropriate music and get some damn clothes - dragonfly99

Miley Cyrus dresses provocatively and dances on poles and takes half naked photos... she's a TERRIBLE influence. - Celestius

I don't need to mention her performance at the VMA Awards. That was completely inappropriate of her to do, especially with all her young fans who look up to her.

Nasty sick person who does a music video naked O.O

2 Justin Bieber Justin Bieber Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada (despite once claiming he was Part-Indian) and he is Christian. He is the son of an author, Pattie Mallet. ...read more.

He is a horrible singer, he treats horrible to all the journalists and the media like he's something special, he is not at all friendly with his fans and he looks like a 10 year old, grow up!

He's taught me how to kill good music. By saying "Baby, baby, baby, OHH! "

JUSTIN BEIBER IS THE RUDEST MOST DISGUSTING HUMAN ALIVE! He needs to be at the top of this list he sets such a bad example

He’s dumb and ugly and went to jail.

Her real name is Onika Tanya Maraj. She was born on December 8, 1982 in Saint James Trinidad and Tobago. ...read more.

Kids aren't even supposed to be listening to her music. Her music was never meant for kids! I mean, remember that one moment on the ellen degeneres show where those two little girls started singing super bass?

In all honesty, I'd rather have George W. Bush [And I really hate him! ] as a role model than this disgrace to both music and women. All of these pop and rap artist that everyone listens too just makes me sick. Parents a low their children to listen to this crap, thus learning a whole bunch of disgusting things. She and other "musicians" of today are the main reasons why all of my peers are absolutely disgusting. Last year my school had fifty fights. Fifty. I wonder who may have influenced it...? Oh, I know! Today's crappy, mainstream "musicians." - LostDream258

How can you listen to this? She only keeps on rapping about herself, and pompously repeating her name, also, her lyrics repeat in every verse at least twice. Unless you like listening to fast-talking about some girl's ass, stay away from Nicki Minaj. - redhawk766

Lol I knew all the words to super bass when I was 6 and used to sing it at school😂😂😂

"Mommy, when I grow up I wanna dance on stage half naked and have lots of babies and blah, blah." Yeah....No! THere's a thin line between "come-back" and "denial". she just crossed it. - Nejixchan

I just don't like the way she you know, "strips" onstage. It's not for children really. BTW, what's wrong with Kirk Hammett? I don't find anything bad about him. He has own chidren and I think he quit with drugs and stuff a long time ago.

Marilyn Manson is one of the best role models around and this is coming from someone who isn't much of a fan of his music.

Kirk Hammett has no bad influence at all. - tenthsage

Britney Spears is amazing! She is a pop queen! I think she is fine for kids aged maybe 11+. Some of her music videos are not the mos kid-friendly content, but as long as you let your kid listen to her clean songs like "...Baby one more time","Oops I did it again", "Till the world ends" or even "Toxic". You can't go wrong with the songs from her Baby one more time album. Songs like Gimme more, Work B*tch or Piece of me wouldn't be the best choice for kids but as long as you don't take them to the concert and don't let your kid watch her more inappropriate music videos and let them listen to her cleaner songs then Britney Spears is fine. I love Britney Spears!

As dictator of Nazi Germany, he initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September 1939 and was a central figure of ...read more.

Hitler used to be a good person. Once, this child was crying because he bumped into a chair. Hitler then blew on the injured area, then hit himself with the chair. He only was bad because he went through a lot of difficult things in life. Though I still see why he is quite a preposterous being...

Need I say anything. I mean it's Hitler; come one...

Yes he committed mass genocide on Jews. Look at the smaller details! He wanted to build a museum dedicated to Jews after they died, he had campaigns against smoking and poverty! Poverty and smoking are two of the biggest draw backs to society, and trying to stop them is a good thing.

Just no.. think about what he has done..

He also encourages kids to stay in college and get an education.

He's running for president in 2020 oh noo hell be such a bad role model don't vote 4 him

I hate him, he is so arrogant. From a 9 year old.

8 Paris Hilton Paris Hilton Paris Whitney Hilton is an American businesswoman, socialite, television personality, model, actress, singer, DJ, and author .

South Park. That's all I have to say.
Little girl 1: "Paris Hilton? What does she do? "
Little girl 2: "(Happily): She's super rich! "
Little girl 1: "... What does she do? "
Little girl 3: "(Happily): She's totally spoiled and snobby! "
Little girl 1: "(Annoyed): What does she DO?! "
Guy with camera: "She's a whore! " - MontyPython

Lots of people do drugs and drink, doesn't mean there not a good influence. Words speak influence not actions. Only thing is Paris does not speak well and her actions reflect worse on her. Terrible role model.

She's a stupid spoiled whore.

What else DOES Paris Hilton do apart from being beautiful? - redhawk766

The Contenders

11 Caillou

If he doesn't get what he wants he throws a temper tantrum. I saw an episode when he thought he was going to the circus and his dad said that they are not going. He started to throw a temper tantrum. Why would they teach kids that throwing a temper tantrum can help you get what you want.

The worst part about is his dad said they were going the day after he thought he was going. But, he throws a tantrum anyway - izackak

He teaches kids to throw temper tantrums!

He such a little wuss. He whines too much.

I've talked about Caillou a lot but it is absolutely true thst he's a bad role model. The leader of all the spoiled brats in movies and T.V.. Think Massie Block from The Clique, led by Caillou with Diamond Tiara from MLP, Katsuma from Moshi Monsters Movie and Heather from Total Drama Island and some of the others... Caillou leds them all to throw a tantrum across the world... just kidding. But I like this story. Maybe there'll be a published novel someday. - redhawk766

Her trash is nonsense. - RickRossBiggestFan

Now there's a well thought-out comment. Maybe it is the best you can do. Sorry, dude. And I'm sorry for Rick Ross as well. - Trancas

I love transgenders and Trump. Great role model!

Not a single person has actually voted to put Jackie Evancho on this list.
RickRossBiggestFan and SelfDestruct, who are both the same person have hacked the system and artificially placed her here.

I love Eminem... He is awesome... I would talk about that 2 if I was abused by my mom... He has his own way of communicating and it happens to be his music. He is a little strange but you just have to get used to it

Eminem may not be the best role model for kids because of all the bad words he uses in his songs but hey! Don't you think that all the rappers do that?
Spitting bad words is a part of rapping and besides Eminem is the best rapper I've known (after 2pac)
But still children shouldn't listen to his songs

He raps about drugs and killing people a lot. Not a good role model whatsoever. Kanye West is a great role model, raps about real life topics like consumerism and religion.

Horrible role model for kids!

I think Lady Gaga is a great role model for young girls! Her song born this way is all about loving yourself and loving other people for who they are! She also has a foundation called the Born this Way foundation and it is about being kind.

16 Marilyn Manson Marilyn Manson Brian Hugh Warner, better known by his stage name Marilyn Manson, is an American musician, songwriter, actor, painter, multimedia artist, author, and former music journalist.

What? What brain-cell/personality deprived mushroom who lived all his life under the umbrella of boring put this on here? More like fantastic role-model. Yes he HAS done drugs and other questionable things, but he has amazing philosopher about the world and who knows, a hundred years from now he may be history.

Honestly, Marilyn Manson really is a great guy I mean he's an inteligent guy and I personaly think that he's a good role model because he inspires people to be who they want and believe in what you want too believe

He is a good philosopher, but I wouldn't recommend him to children because of his music. And please don't hate me just because I have a different opinion. I'm always curious to hear yours.

He is so gross

18 Kirk Hammett Kirk Hammett Kirk Lee Hammett is the lead guitarist and songwriter for the heavy metal band Metallica and has been a member of the band since 1983. Before joining Metallica he formed and named the band Exodus.

Who ever put him on here is either a Megadeth fanboy or just someone looking for attention or both - Sabbath

I think James Hetfield should of been high on this list instead of Kirk Hammett because he was the one who wrote all those inappropriate songs.

Get him off this list - Jed230

Hammett doesn't deserve this spot. He has few, if any; negative influences. At least he actually plays guitar great, and that Hammett can keep the crowd alive in certain songs with a simple "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! "
I mean, look at Miley Cyrus, Brithey Spears, and Nicki Minaj. Those three girls are only capable of writing sexual songs and being sexual. Bieber is bad to his fans by spitting on them! Just look at Bieber, Cyrus, Spears, and Minaj and you woll see hiw much worse they are.

He should be the #1. He ruined everything for my country. I hope Allah helps Iraq with the terrorism now.

Zendaya teaches girls that you do not have to wear makeup or anything artificial to be pretty. WHY IS SHE ON THE LIST?

She is bad because in the "Friday" video she actually skipped school. And she teaches you that being annoying is the only way to become famous. And that if you are bullied the only acceptable way to stop the hate is to create something that so many people hate, and get famous for it. - greatesttop10s

In friday, rebecca skipped the school part because they don't want to show it. But you clearly see rebecca going to school with her friemds on a car, it's just that rebecca wanted to move onto what happened at 7 pm. Besides rebecca is a good role model because she acts her age and is kid friendly, rebecca tried to make a song to prove her talent, she didn't sing good in the video but if you hear her sing without autotune she can actually sing. Autotune is what ruins her voice.

The most annoying girl on the planet! surely a bad role model for kids, might teach kids to be annoying like her!
