0:00:09 > 0:00:10Hey, Lifebabblers!
0:00:10 > 0:00:12THEY CHEER
0:00:12 > 0:00:15- I love you, Scola.- Thanks, guys, you make me feel like a celeb.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Loads of people are fans of something,
0:00:18 > 0:00:21but sometimes things can go a bit too far.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Looking up to someone can inspire you to achieve amazing things.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28But there is a limit.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30If thinking about your hero starts to affect your daily life,
0:00:30 > 0:00:32it might have become an obsession.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33You might get so into a celebrity
0:00:33 > 0:00:36that you forget to spend time with your family and friends.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38You might even start to feel like you know them personally.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40So keep a balance in your life,
0:00:40 > 0:00:43instead of just getting stuck on one thing.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Being really into a band, a vlogger, a celebrity, a chef,
0:00:48 > 0:00:49it's pretty normal.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52And dressing up in their style can be an important part
0:00:52 > 0:00:53of growing up and figuring out who you are.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56But sometimes people can get a bit carried away.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Like, covering your bedroom in your favourite posters is totally fine.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02But waiting outside their house and looking through the window
0:01:02 > 0:01:03to see what they've had for breakfast
0:01:03 > 0:01:06and spending all your time online searching stuff about them
0:01:06 > 0:01:07is taking it too far.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Some people copy their favourite footballer's hairstyle.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11But talking to your friends like you're giving
0:01:11 > 0:01:13a post-match interview is probably a bit too much.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I think, overall, it was a good performance from the team.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17What do you think?
0:01:17 > 0:01:18- SHE BLOWS WHISTLE - Yeah.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20So, make sure you are in control of your fandom.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Don't let it control you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24PHONE RINGS
0:01:24 > 0:01:27I really love One Direction.
0:01:27 > 0:01:33Their songs are really catchy and they're quite good-looking.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I've seen them live twice.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41The first time, I cried and screamed so hard.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43My brother and my dad tease me
0:01:43 > 0:01:47because they just don't understand how great they are.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Remember - celebs are normal people, too.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58They eat their tea, watch the telly and snore in bed just like you.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59It's not a competition.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03There's no chart to say who loves the celebrity more than you
0:02:03 > 0:02:06and just because you spend your time doing something else,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09that doesn't mean you're letting your favourite celebrity down.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Being a fan can be fun,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16especially if you and your mates are having a laugh together.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Remember, not everyone will share your passion.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Your mates might drift off if you're only interested in talking
0:02:22 > 0:02:24and thinking about your hero.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Sometimes, obsessions can distract us
0:02:26 > 0:02:29from tough times at home and at school.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Keeping ourselves grounded by connecting with the people around us
0:02:33 > 0:02:38can remind us that we have people who love and support us right here.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I find myself sometimes getting obsessed with band members.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I personally have been really obsessed
0:02:45 > 0:02:47with internet celebrities in the past.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I have been obsessed with a celebrity.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52And sometimes I can spend way too much time online.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Hours every single day, watching what they made.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56I felt that I needed to know
0:02:56 > 0:02:58everything that was going on in their life.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Looking through their blogs, social media videos.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03And I think my family would definitely say
0:03:03 > 0:03:04that it was an obsession of mine.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06And then after a while,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I kind of got obsessed with another celebrity
0:03:08 > 0:03:10and then after them, another celebrity
0:03:10 > 0:03:12and then I realised I don't need to be obsessed with one.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I can enjoy all of them in smaller doses.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I can also get a bit obsessed with this one.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23When you focus too much on someone else,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25sometimes you just might lose yourself.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Try new things and venture out,
0:03:26 > 0:03:28You'll become interesting without a doubt.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31We are all passionate about different things.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I am, too, whether it's a musician or actor or watching the news.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Understand celebrities are just like you,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39They live, breathe and do all the things you do.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41That's all for this Lifebabble.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44There's loads more on the CBBC website,
0:03:44 > 0:03:48so whether you're a number one fan or a fan of many, keep babbling.
