People will go to the greatest extremes for fame ,and the easiest of them all is YouTube all u need is a camera ,a computer and lack of  sense and  you in and millions of people get to know you .People have gone as crazy as falling on their face or even eating a burger from the floor while drunk , lately you require no talent to get noticed .Take Idols for instance there are people that just go knowing that they do not have any talent whatsoever but got just to make it as the worst .Everybody will know you and recognise you on the streets and that's all they want  .Another ridiculous and widely known method is sleeping with someone that's already famous so the fame rubs on to you  ,young girls have degraded themselves all in the name of fame so many times ,some sleep with men older than their fathers if it will get them a step closer to the fame then its a done deal .Ripley's believe it or not is also a show that leave us in huge awe all the times  I remember a woman once grew her nails 35 inches in length which took her thirty years to do for what ? .prof Cary cooper said in his book that most famous people have one thing in common and that is many are not as self confident as we think .people desire fame because they love to be loved but when they get there they come to realise that people just love them for what they have become rather than who they really are which ends up reinforcing their self doubt further more .these people end up getting into drugs and alcohol abuse because of the loneliness they feel when they are not on stage .this all is ignited by the feeling of belonging , we all want to belong to a certain group or community  and be loved ,and some do all it takes to belong .Even if it means doing things that are out of order .This happens allot with school kids ,all of them want to be apart of the " cool squad " and funny enough the cool people are never the nerds of the class that work hard to get their grades nooo its usually the bullies who bunk class ,wear fancy clothes or even take illegal substances at times .and for one to join them there are sacrifices needed which is not really worth it if you think of it ,because most of them never really end up anywhere in life .A very sad reality about life is that it will not wait .rather be well known for doing good than bad ,fame is not all glitz and glam there is allot that is not told about this life that people most desire ,others even go to the extent of selling their souls to the devil .They come to realise its not worth it when things come crumbling down .
