For starters - I'm not a Justin Bieber fan. *Gasp* I know, I know. Saying that today is on the verge of being sacrilegious.
I mean, I understand these girls swooning over him. The same thing happened with The Beatles. I did the same thing for The Backstreet Boys. Girls love their boy bands. Or in Justin's case, his fans just love him. But there comes a point when expressing your love and undying admiration for a celebrity or musician goes too far and crosses the line.
Amanda is a 14 year old, obsessed "Belieber" and her twitter account has nearly 50,000 followers. How in the world has this 14 year old girl garnered such social media fame? By posting racist, homophobic, anti-religious, insensitive, factually incorrect and sexually explicit tweets - all to show her love for Justin. Now don't get me wrong, I know what it's like to be a 14 year old girl and be obsessed with a musician - but she is crossing every possible line. She makes repeated derogatory comments about our President, Christians, Muslims and people of just about every race, on a daily basis. She even goes on to say, "Instead of donation money to help people with cancer, who only got themselves to blame, we should donate money to help gays become straight." Insensitive remarks like this, just keep on coming. Apparently her filter is malfunctioning. 
As I stated earlier, Amanda has nearly 50,000 followers. Granted, most of those are probably people who are just following her because she is obnoxious, but the rest of them are girls and guys her age that don't see anything wrong with how she is talking. Her insensitive and inappropriate comments have created this fame for her, and I believe that it is time for Justin Bieber to step in and make it clear that he doesn't condone this type of behavior. He is 18 years old now, meaning he's an adult. And guess what, adults have to make tough choices and try to do the right thing. Just like Uncle Ben said to Peter Parker, "with great power comes great responsibility". Justin is probably the most well-known celebrity alive today. With that power and influence, you need to keep your fans in check and let them know what you stand for. Nobody want to live in a world full of Amanda Biebers, let's be real.
Of course there is always the saying, "any press is good press", but I feel he would gain more than just good press by calling Amanda out on her behavior - he would gain respect from a number of people (Including a little from me..shhh).That's all I've got for tonight. Let me know what you think in the comment section and follow me on twitter @keabbott!
