Young girls have recently noticed what a fantastic role model Miley Cyrus has become. Tween girls should aspire to act just like her, because Cyrus is the perfect definition of a successful woman.

As any young adult knows, Cyrus used to star in the popular TV show “Hannah Montana” for four seasons, which ran from 2006-2011. Cyrus met the love of her life, Liam Hemsworth, in 2009 on the set of their movie “The Last Song.” They got engaged in 2012 and since Cyrus is the ripe age of 20, people were absolutely positive that the couple would be together for years to come.

The couple recently broke up, because they decided that their relationship wasn’t going to work out. Cyrus demonstrated her maturity on September 14 by unfollowing Hemsworth on Twitter. Two days later the engagement was officially called off.

Cyrus started becoming an ideal role model when she was caught with the drug salvia in 2010. She didn’t face any consequences, which shows pre-teens how to stay out of trouble and still have fun. Other than being a wonderful role model, Cyrus also gives America valuable fashion advice. Girls can look like celebrities by shaving their heads and wearing scanty clothes that tell people you are very comfortable with your body.

In June of 2013, Cyrus had an important moment in her life. She released her new song “We Can’t Stop,” which inspires children to “own the night” by doing drugs in the bathroom and sleeping around. The music video has over 875,876 dislikes, yet over 1,000,000 likes on YouTube.

Cyrus’s performance at the 2013 Video Music Awards was extremely shocking … in a good way! She rocked an appropriate nude color one-piece, while grinding on a man twice her age. The best part of the performance was when she began to dance with her foam finger. Boys loved that part, since foam fingers are usually seen at sporting events.

On September 9, Cyrus let loose in yet another music video, “Wrecking Ball.” After one day of the video being on YouTube, 29 million people had seen it. The video portrays Cyrus suggestively licking a hammer and swinging naked on a wrecking ball. This perfectly conveys the image of a young woman bursting with strength and confidence.

All little girls should hope to be exactly like Cyrus when they grow up. She is an awesome role model who teaches girls how to be respected strong women.
