17-Year-Old Malia Obama Makes Top News For Being A Teenager

17-Year-Old Malia Obama Makes Top News For Being A Teenager
http://i.ytimg.com

While visiting Brown University, Barack Obama's 17-year-old daughter, Malia Obama, was seen standing behind red-solo cups in a viral Snapchat photo. This current, totally tragic news has helped people put their not-so best foot forward by taking jabs at teenager.

Sounds more like the press was pretty bitter about not being invited to the college party.

"But she should be held to a higher standard!"

Excuse me. Someone must have forgotten what it’s like to be 17 and to hold the position as the president’s daughter. Maybe it's because of jealousy, considering she’s visited top universities such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford to decide where to further her education after she graduates high school. Not to mention that the picture going viral doesn’t show her holding alcohol. Regardless, these articles try to justify that she very well might be consuming beverages while being under the age of 21.

Speaking of standards, funny how more than half of these trending articles are written by females. You’re telling me, as a woman, you find it acceptable to degrade another young woman for your own benefit? Girl, bye.

Haters are always going to hate.

If it wasn’t for actually clicking on the negative articles being spread, I could have sworn Malia had just plead guilty to a misdemeanor crime. As Americans, we should be empowering one another, and yet the only thing I see being empowered is hatred because these reporters have nothing else to write about.

Society and Top News

“Spotted: Malia Obama Parties At Drug-Fueled Rager”

“Malia Obama: President’s Daughter Allegedly Seen Playing Beer Pong On Snapchat”

And my personal favorite:

“Malia Obama Just Embarrassed America in a HUGE WAY”

What's embarrassing is top headlines made and shared by Americans trying to create animosity toward a 17-year-old girl. People have grown to believe that exploiting celebrities’ personal business is an important practice and truly matters in our day-to-day lives. Society has become so interested in irrelevant topics that wouldn’t have made any difference if they weren’t being exploited and becoming viral subjects. Nowadays, privacy seems to be just as inappropriate as the president’s daughter being spotted at a college party.

Those who are interested in continuing to shame Malia Obama should first and foremost get some class, then step down from their high-horse and consider researching the real current topics found on CNN.com:


As for you Malia, keep being that bad b*tch this 21-year old college girl admires. Not getting involved in the pettiness of other's assumptions is the greatest lesson any parent, such as Barack Obama, could teach their teenager. You’re a rock star.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
