Over the years, the influence on the younger generations over the years haven’t got any better. Seeing the behavior of the upcoming generations is a disappointment compared to how the older generations were raised.

 

Some of the reasons the younger generations behave the way they do is because of the people they glorify and the people who are chosen to be role models through our entertainment.

 

Danielle Bregoli, age 13, has gone viral after an appearance on the Dr. Phil talk show in 2016.

 

Appearing on Dr. Phil’s show, Bregoli and her mother, Barbara Ann Peskowitz, went on the show to talk to Dr. Phil about Peskowitz daughter’s behavior and how disrespectful she is.

 

Once appearing on the television and stating the phrase “catch me outside how about that”, people started making a joke out of it and creating memes that said “cash me outside how bow dat”.

 

After people began to create memes from what she said on the Dr. Phil’s show, people began to make a song using the phrases that were stated by her and Dr. Phil, making her more popular than when she appeared on the television show.

 

After she went viral from the memes and the song that was created, she began to be glorified by more people and gained more and more followers everyday on social media.

 

She was also featured starring in Kodak Black’s music video for his song “Everything 1K”, making her seem like a role model to the younger generations and anyone else who is influenced by Kodak Black.

 

Gaining followers on social media like Instagram and Snapchat, she shows her followers how she needs a bodyguard to go through the airports with her and her mom to protect her from any fans she may have that tries to get to her.
When people like Bregoli are recognized as role models, it has a negative influence on the younger generations as to how they should behave, with no respect for others. Bad examples of roles models are the reasons the younger generations behave the way they do.
