Fame results in a loss of freedom


Everyone thinks that being famous is a great thing, but everything has it's flaws. And one of them is the loss of freedom.

It is undoubtedly true that when you are famous everyone will be after you. Firstly, when people see you walking down the street they'll want an autograph for sure. And imagine what would happen if a whole class of students sees you! Furthermore, it's those annoying paparazzi! They will be hiding in every corner, waiting for you to show up and make a hundred photos per minute! And they can get you in some embarassing situations as well. For example if a picture of you drinking beer in the park goes to the internet. That wouldn't be very good for your reputation, would it? Last but definetely not least it's all the work you need to do. Becoming a star is hard, but keeping your succes is even harder! Everyday you'll need to think of new ideas for a song or a film. Or if you are a sports star the training you'll have to do will make you sick just thinking about it! And all of these thinks won't leave any time for your family and personal life.

On the other hand however, there are some things which could result in freedom. First of all, with the amount of money you have you could go on long holidays or buy a nice wooden hut in the mountains, away from the big cities where you could find some peace and quiet. Lastly, you have the freedom to choose almost everything that pops up into your mind- where to live, how to live, what to buy, where to go etc.

To sum up, being a star isn't easy at all and it can leave you no freedom. And the things that actually can make you free aren't that much, but at least they exist. So fame can keep you more busy, rather than make you free.
