Is it ok to have a high school idol?
About a year ago, a senior at my school( i was a sophmore) was my HS idol, and he still is. I thought that he represented everything that a great person should be. Ever since then I wanted to be him, and slowly, my apperance, personality, even grades are more like him, even though Im not going to completely change myself. my question is, Is it right to have an idol like this, or am i just weird. Is it wrong to be like someone, but not as them. Tell me, please.

I think it is fine to admire someone and look up to them as a roll model, but there is an extent to which it can become obsessive. I think by you saying that you wanted to be him, and your appearance etc. has leaned towards his appearance etc, you have reached that point.

I think its fine. Its always good to have a positive role model to look up to and to inspire you to be a better person. If you are making positive changes in your life because of the example someone else set, then I think that’s great. If you’re just trying to change yourself to become as popular as he was (which I do not think you are doing this) then you would have a problem.Overall I think its great that you were able to find such a good role model. Best of luck
