Alex from Target

It was just any other day, you decide to check your social media and you see a trending hashtag, Alex from Target. What is that? You think to yourself. 

You click on the posts about it and see this picture:

Alex Lee, a regular student who attends Heritage High School in Frisco, Texas. When a friend posts this picture with a caption saying 'Yooooooooo' , the picture went viral within a few hours. Causing social media and the hearts of teenage girls going crazy. But what if as the reason for all of this idiotic trend? 

It's crazy knowing that looks can get you anywhere without lifting a finger. Alex had the opportunity to go on The Ellen Show for being 'good looking' as others say. But why make someone who does nothing but bag groceries famous? In my personal opinion, others have a reason to be famous such as  Lauren Hill. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor previously. She was expected to live for 2 more years but sadly, her life expectancy was shorten to December. Her life goal was to play on a college basketball team before her life comes to an end. She did everything she can to make that life goal come true. I could go on and on about Lauren Hill, but there are other people out there that deserve to be on The Ellen Show. Alex from Target is just another reason why social media makes things over dramatic and make things that aren't suppose to be popular, popular.
