2. C。由第一段的“Yet according to parents and educationalists the media itself is partly to blame. They argue that television, newspapers and magazines are obsessed with celebrity lives and over-promote a “celebrity culture” in which reality show stars are revered purely because they are on television.”可知父母们认为，媒体过度关心与宣传名人的生活，这从某种意义上导致青少年模仿一些不好的偶像，故C为正确答案。
