Hey, Lifebabblers!

THEY CHEER

0:00:100:00:12

-I love you, Scola.

-Thanks, guys, you make me feel like a celeb.

0:00:120:00:15

Loads of people are fans of something,

0:00:150:00:18

but sometimes things can go a bit too far.

0:00:180:00:21

Looking up to someone can inspire you to achieve amazing things.

0:00:230:00:26

But there is a limit.

0:00:260:00:28

If thinking about your hero starts to affect your daily life,

0:00:280:00:30

it might have become an obsession.

0:00:300:00:32

You might get so into a celebrity

0:00:320:00:33

that you forget to spend time with your family and friends.

0:00:330:00:36

You might even start to feel like you know them personally.

0:00:360:00:38

So keep a balance in your life,

0:00:380:00:40

instead of just getting stuck on one thing.

0:00:400:00:43

Being really into a band, a vlogger, a celebrity, a chef,

0:00:450:00:48

it's pretty normal.

0:00:480:00:49

And dressing up in their style can be an important part

0:00:490:00:52

of growing up and figuring out who you are.

0:00:520:00:53

But sometimes people can get a bit carried away.

0:00:530:00:56

Like, covering your bedroom in your favourite posters is totally fine.

0:00:560:00:59

But waiting outside their house and looking through the window

0:00:590:01:02

to see what they've had for breakfast

0:01:020:01:03

and spending all your time online searching stuff about them

0:01:030:01:06

is taking it too far.

0:01:060:01:07

Some people copy their favourite footballer's hairstyle.

0:01:070:01:09

But talking to your friends like you're giving

0:01:090:01:11

a post-match interview is probably a bit too much.

0:01:110:01:13

I think, overall, it was a good performance from the team.

0:01:130:01:16

What do you think?

0:01:160:01:17

-SHE BLOWS WHISTLE

-Yeah.

0:01:170:01:18

So, make sure you are in control of your fandom.

0:01:180:01:20

Don't let it control you.

0:01:200:01:22

PHONE RINGS

0:01:220:01:24

I really love One Direction.

0:01:240:01:27

Their songs are really catchy and they're quite good-looking.

0:01:270:01:33

I've seen them live twice.

0:01:330:01:36

The first time, I cried and screamed so hard.

0:01:360:01:41

My brother and my dad tease me

0:01:410:01:43

because they just don't understand how great they are.

0:01:430:01:47

Remember - celebs are normal people, too.

0:01:510:01:53

They eat their tea, watch the telly and snore in bed just like you.

0:01:530:01:58

It's not a competition.

0:01:580:01:59

There's no chart to say who loves the celebrity more than you

0:01:590:02:03

and just because you spend your time doing something else,

0:02:030:02:06

that doesn't mean you're letting your favourite celebrity down.

0:02:060:02:09

Being a fan can be fun,

0:02:110:02:12

especially if you and your mates are having a laugh together.

0:02:120:02:16

Remember, not everyone will share your passion.

0:02:160:02:19

Your mates might drift off if you're only interested in talking

0:02:190:02:22

and thinking about your hero.

0:02:220:02:24

Sometimes, obsessions can distract us

0:02:240:02:26

from tough times at home and at school.

0:02:260:02:29

Keeping ourselves grounded by connecting with the people around us

0:02:290:02:33

can remind us that we have people who love and support us right here.

0:02:330:02:38

I find myself sometimes getting obsessed with band members.

0:02:400:02:43

I personally have been really obsessed

0:02:430:02:45

with internet celebrities in the past.

0:02:450:02:47

I have been obsessed with a celebrity.

0:02:470:02:49

And sometimes I can spend way too much time online.

0:02:490:02:52

Hours every single day, watching what they made.

0:02:520:02:55

I felt that I needed to know

0:02:550:02:56

everything that was going on in their life.

0:02:560:02:58

Looking through their blogs, social media videos.

0:02:580:03:01

And I think my family would definitely say

0:03:010:03:03

that it was an obsession of mine.

0:03:030:03:04

And then after a while,

0:03:040:03:06

I kind of got obsessed with another celebrity

0:03:060:03:08

and then after them, another celebrity

0:03:080:03:10

and then I realised I don't need to be obsessed with one.

0:03:100:03:12

I can enjoy all of them in smaller doses.

0:03:120:03:16

I can also get a bit obsessed with this one.

0:03:160:03:19

When you focus too much on someone else,

0:03:210:03:23

sometimes you just might lose yourself.

0:03:230:03:25

Try new things and venture out,

0:03:250:03:26

You'll become interesting without a doubt.

0:03:260:03:28

We are all passionate about different things.

0:03:280:03:31

I am, too, whether it's a musician or actor or watching the news.

0:03:310:03:34

Understand celebrities are just like you,

0:03:340:03:36

They live, breathe and do all the things you do.

0:03:360:03:39

That's all for this Lifebabble.

0:03:390:03:41

There's loads more on the CBBC website,

0:03:410:03:44

so whether you're a number one fan or a fan of many, keep babbling.
