We see a lot of reality shows and especially those that target the "youngsters",the budding rising stars etc.Is that really a right way to promote these young minds?They have talent no doubt.Some of them are exceptional,The entire world watches them.Great.The dance choreography done by the kids and expressions given for raunchy numbers etc must be effecting the young minds somewhere.They are not mature enough to handle these situations and may effect them in many ways.The parents push or encourage them at times,sometimes go overboard with their child and what that leads to is over expectations or failures and rejections that might get deep rooted in their minds.This is at a time when his mind is growing and developing and once certain fixed ideas are set they may be a positive effect but many negatives for sure.Success may be difficult to handle, parents may take all the earnings and make the child think that he is being deprived of what is logically his .The innocence may get lost and bring about other emotions and psychological disturbances that might ruin his life.Will he be able to lead a normal life should he not grow into an adult megastar when he has success at a young age? Academics may be his last priority?Money sets up other vices and they become difficult to control.The odd shooting hours deprives them of sleep and many other things that they must enjoy as a child.
Are we pushing our next generations too much?Are we creating excess pressure on them and an artificial environment that makes them over competitive at a young age?It may definitely inculcate a good quality in terms of being competitive , but to what extent?Do we counsel them professionally to make them realize the pro's and con's of the lifestyle?
No doubt the exposure today through the web and TV is phenomenal and that its difficult to restrict content.However the repercussions may not be visualized now and may impact the gen next..Sex, criminal mind, jealousy,would start dominating in an already pressure cooked world.Too many things too fast may hit a dead end and fast.Its like professional burnout at the start of a career.Early disappointments, a cruel world, quick money and easy way out to spend and get into bad debts with no money management skills may be the resultant.Fast cars, fast women, fast life,travel, 24x7 Work culture and exhaustion.That leads to steroids,drugs,cigarettes, booze,and coffee to keep you going that leads to high doctor bills ,medications , etc that is the start of the end of the so called good days.
High alert required in my opinion.Exercise caution and take a stock of the situation before we push the envelope.

Fully agree with you Sir. I would just take the reference of a small girl called Saloni, who entered in Reality show & in a year or 2 she started performing double meaning acts. Her childhood, innocence was completely robbed off the little girl.
