avril lavigne is a pretty good role model for young girls and safe to buy for a pre teen?

I find it hard to approve of many pop stars and their behaviour and or lyrics.

But avril seems pretty safe, no naughty lyrics, not falling out of night clubs, not getting into arguments, not showing all her flesh, not talking about sex all the time.

Just fun and wacky with a faux rebble attitude. Aibu to think she's safe to buy for pre teens?

this is why I like her - how many of us have given so much time or money...

She's 30!? Shock

Bit passe I'd say now. Pink, Katy Perry, Little Mix, Paramour Taylor Swift are what my 13 yo likes.
I was listening to Prince singing about oral sex and fucking at that age.

When I was 13/14 I was listening to Guns N Roses and Nirvana. I had t-shirts with fucking on too. God knows what my mother thought.

The word fucking, not images of people

I loathe 'Girlfriend' with a passion. Basically an anthem to bullying.

Actually not too keen on 'sk8er boi' either - that's got that same mean girl vibe. I wouldn't.

I thought she was a knob when I was 14 (ten years ago) and I still think she's a knob.

I'm quite surprised the levels to which people analyse pop songs.

twoopsie · 23/12/2014 13:50

Actually I did watch the girlfriend video yesterday, agree its nasty and bullying

well she is older and has changed. maybe 2002-2007 but not anymore. also a lot or charity work is to get the name out there and such. Just like style and things like that its all a act to improve profits. I dont know of anyone who fits the bill cause nobody is perfect. The tats are a big turn off too.
