"Who is your role model?" is a question that everyone gets asked at least once in their life. It's a really common question. What you don't get asked as often is who your anti-role model is. Anti-role models are the people you look at and think "yeah, I'm going to try and never do or be like this ever." Anti-role models can have a positive effect on people, making them strive to be a better person than them. That's why I decided to compile a small list of people who I would consider my Anti-Role Models.

Sam Pepper

Sam Pepper is a rapist and cruel YouTube prankster with over 2 million subscribers. I don't think I need to explain why he's an anti-role model. Just watching his YouTube channel will show anyone how not to treat other people. Don't be a Sam Pepper. Be a Thomas Sanders.

Light Yagami

Light Yagami is the main character in the "Death Note" series. He has a major god complex and wants to kill off all the evil in the world to make it a better place. While yes, wanting to make the world a better, safer place free of crime is a nice thing, going insane and killing off anyone who would dare to do evil isn't exactly the best way to go about it. Light Yagami teaches all of us that violence isn't the only answer, but it is still indeed an answer; it just ends terribly for the one doing the violence.

Donald Trump

Yeah, this was an obvious one, I know. I don't really like to get into politics in my articles since it usually sparks stupid-pointless-bickering on everything, but for this article I will make an exception just this once. The only wall I want built is one between America and him.

Lindsay Lohan

For the sake of this article, we will be talking about pre-rehab Lindsay, since now she's doing a lot better. What Lindsay did to her body and her mind with the drugs that she was using is a great lesson for everyone. It shows that the addiction can happen to anyone and that is isn't pretty. It can ruin your career and your life, a lesson Lindsay learned well.

Chris Brown

If you think assaulting Rhianna back in 2009 was the only really bad thing he did, well then hold on to your head because I'm about to blow your mind. That incident resulted in five years’ probation and 180 days of community service. He went crazy and busted up furniture in his dressing room when, during an interview, he was asked about the assault charges. He's gotten into a fight with hip hop artist Drake, and then another fight later with Frankie Ocean outside of a club in 2013. His two-week stint in anger management rehab apparently has not worked and he’s finally had to spend some actual time behind bars. He isn't just an Anti-role model, but also anti-relationship goals.

Alucard

Alucard is the vampire servant of Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, as well as the Hellsing Organization's greatest weapon. While Alucard is a great character, and his loyalty to Integra and Hellsing is admirable, he isn't exactly someone who people should want to be. He's a bit insane, to say the least, and gets great enjoyment out of the misery and death of others. He always seems to enjoy his job of killing anything that he needs to. Not exactly a great role model, but he's a great anti-role model

There are plenty more anti-role models I could list, but these are a few that came to mind when writing this article. I'm taking Business and Professional Speaking at school right now and one of our lessons inspired me to write this. It's important to make note of your anti-role models so that you always know what behaviors and qualities that you would always like to avoid.
