This article that I found from "Psychology Today" focuses on what parents can do prevent their child from following in the steps of Miley Cyrus. This source compares greatly to my blog post source #3. Parents are worried that their children are seeing the changes of their role model and will take after her. This article says, "On the one hand, people understand her desire to distance herself from the squeaky-clean, Disney-controlled, typecast life she has led for a decade. On the other hand, Miley is going overboard, similar to the way rebellious teens, tweens and even pre-teens do when in a reckless attempts to escape parental control." (Miley Cyrus: Is she 1). It states both sides, but the continues to dwell on the negative throughout the rest of the article. In this sense, it is slightly bias.   

This article has had me start to think - maybe I am going in the wrong direction with my research paper? This is the second source I have found that has good information on what parents should do if their child looks up to Miley. The sources talk about how Miley is an influence but either a) might not realize that young kids are copying her ways or b) doesn't care and is doing what she feels is right (which is a reason in itself why she should be admired).
