Survey out today of 1000 teenage girls (15-19) shows: half see Abi Titmuss as the best role model, against 33% for Jordan, 9% for JK Rowling and 7% for Anita Roddick. 11% want to achieve something with their lives, 89% would prefer to be a celebrity. 63% wanted to be a glamour model more than anything else; 25% chose lap dancing and 3% chose teaching.

Well I don't know who Abi Titmuss is but Jordan is a British Pin-up model and I am not refering to the 50's stlye pin-ups you see here. Think more like hustler.

I think its important to possibly note the demographics that this survey was taken.

Also, link to where we can see this survey details, and or what publication it was in?

Hrm according to google, and fleshbit and other adult related sites, she's a porn star and nude pinup type of girl for the adult market.

It was sponsored by TheLab.tv, a WAP provider. No details about who their sample was, or how they selected the samples--making it an amusing cocktail party tidbit, but useless for anything else.

Not very scientific gathering, but eh whatever floats their boat and makes headlines big_smile I'm just wondering if girls of britain have lower expectations ( in terms of academics ), than say in US&Canada, etc. But eh, what do I know I'm a guy ;-D

Don't be a mindless lemming who falls for reports in the media.

If you were a teenage girl taking a stupid survey like that, of COURSE you are going to put down that you want to be a lapdancer! Because it's FUNNY! You can laugh and tell your friends, "I put down lapdancer!"

"So did I!"

They all laugh and go on to study to be doctors and engineers.

Please. Don't be so naive as to take these "surveys" seriously. THINK. Don't be a monkey programmed by the media.

Nah, that's not scary. Teenagers usually go through a lot of fantasy about what they want to be when they grow up and will change their minds frequently. I still remember when I was a teenager. I told myself any occupation didn't matter as long as it held my interest and offered room for lots of growth and didn't put any limits on my need for creativity. ...and paid very well.
