A study has found found that a desire for fame solely for the sake of being famous was the most popular future goal among a group of 10-12 year olds, overshadowing hopes for financial success, achievement, and a sense of community.
Which raises the question: Why do people want to be famous? And what would you like to be famous for?

If I had to become famous,I'd like to think it would be for writing a best-selling book, and not for getting my norks out on Big Brother. Neither situation is likely to happen.
And they will likely be disappointed because the majority of people who do become famous, either in the celebrity sense or the professional sense, do so because they have achieved something.
Also, at 10-12 years old, they probably don't really know what they want to be so their views will mostly likely change drastically by the time it matters.
I think the reason some people crave celebrity is any combination of wanting to be popular, money, lifestyle or professional validation/achievement (i.e. a serious actor being involved in serious films or TV shows).
World to teenagers: "I owe you nothing"
Yeah they were. Pop music is rubbish these days.
No wonder most celebrities end up on drugs or dead. Imagine going to the park and having to deal with something like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drwQrUL8vys
Looking at actors as an example; they go into acting because they love acting, not because they want to be famous. Their fame just comes because they are pursuing what they love.
Couldn't agree more with the latter part. The first part, they are kids so their views will likely change.
When will I see my picture in the paper?
