3 Things You Need to Know Before Becoming Famous

In today's society, becoming popular through social media has not been easier. People often times forget the price you pay for fame and you don't even pay it with real money.

If you go to Instagram and create stupid videos and have the right people share them you'll most likely end up with hundreds of thousands of followers and countless comments.

Here are 3 things you need to know before you become Famous:

1. Forget your privacy.
Whatever you say or do on social media or in real life is under a microscope of online trolls and random people who sit all day on their phones and wait for their next target. Many celebrities are stepping back from social media for that reason including Selena Gomez, Beyonce and many more. Privacy in real life doesn't exist either when you're famous because some fake people close to you may decide to leak or expose your weak moments or something that'll give you negative feedback.

2. Friends do not exist.
Everyone surrounding you when you're famous is there to take something from you and it's a fact that famous people/celebrities have no friends at all. Just business partners. If you had 5 friends before fame you'll be left with one or two and it's always harder to trust people. People will approach you to get fame from you and then leave you.


3. The internet controls you.
When you post something on social media or on the blog you need to make sure the audience that's watching or reading what you shared won't be offended by it, and people get offended pretty easily online. The smallest detail will automatically get a group of people offended and they'll spam you until you change it. People were recently bullying Justin Bieber for having longer hair than usual. Internet comments literally control your decisions and life when you're famous.

With that being said, fame is not necessarily a bad thing but it's clearly not for everyone. Some people simply can't handle that much pressure all at once. If you can't handle negative critics or comments, or people making fun of your looks, don't even give it a try because it may end up to anxiety or depression.
