I Disagree With Childrens Beauty Pageants

I try not to expose myself to things which wind me up. As I can't do a damn thing about these nutty parents..  I have to just hope that enough people will not participate, that their whole scene will die, but it won't coz society...

Spray tans, high heels, hair pieces, false lashes - do those sound like the kind of things a six year old child should be concerned with?

I just finished watching a programme called Toddlers and Tiaras. I've seen a couple of shows...

This will sound lame of me, but I'm sitting here watching Toddlers and Tiara's on TLC and I'm trying to think of the good things that come out of these pageants. I mean, confidence is good, and having a "hobby" but, I think it all...

There is nothing inherently wrong with children's beauty pageants. In fact, if they were done right, they could actually be a lot of fun, and a positive experience. It is just what adults turn them into. There is nothing wrong with...

I loathe children's beauty pageants. When did public opinion change? Has everyone forgotten little JonBenet Ramsey? After she died, people were so against them..and now they are embraced. I don't think anything good comes from forcing...

I think mothers should spend more time making sure their child has a good shoulder on her head, make sure she gets an education, encourage reading and writing, maths all that stuff rather than this pointless crap. And hey if the girl...

Are they really necessary? The slathering of makeup, on innocent faces. The constant feeling of rejection when they don't win. The skimpy fashions, on bodies that haven't fully developed yet. Are these parents crazy? Who knows if...

no parent should ever encourage their 5 or 6 year old child to look like a 15 or 16 yr old child. no baby needs that much makeup, false teeth, hair extensions, etc, etc. nor should they be in provocative clothing....seriously, if i were...

Like many of you, I strongly disagree in child beauty pageants, it was on a recent showing of Dr. Phil that really shocked me. There was a young girl not even old enough for high school, her mother made a website with photos of her...

Trying to make your daughter a phony stupid beautiful shell is child abuse. I have seen some of the pageants and the contestants, it made me really angry.

When I was 5 my mom wanted to put me in one of this things. I didn't go because my father didn't believe in it. He said that I needed to be a kid rigt now cause before you know it I will be a teen, than an adult with kids of her own. I...

I've participated in a few pagents myself and I can tell you, it is hectic. The preperation, the stress, the butterflies; I can't imagine a child having to endure all that. I also think that the parents are the winners, not the children...

I see the advertisements for those crazy shows on TV. Those girls look like shrunken Pamela Andersons! Who could do that?When I was younger,  a boy in my class was in not a beauty pageant, but this thing called, 'Prince Charmingest'He...

Recently I've seen this documentary about a little girl whose parents made her wear plastic teeth because her own were falling out and thats a thing children's beauty pageant contestants' teeth shouldn't do. Tzzz. In addition to that...

The little girls look so unhappy and they dress them up to look like little tarts
 its so sad. do they really look happy? do they look like little girls? i mean do they look like
 7 years old or 10 ,0r 12 years old ? do they...

I am tired of hearing the bs excuses that these kids "like" dressing up like a princess. You know what? So do my girls, so I bought them some disney princess costume dresses from the Disney store - problem solved. No young girls WANT to...

I've never agreed with child beauty pageants. Kids grow up fast and I think you should let kids be kids while they still can be. This is just my opinion but if you put a kid in a pageant and it didn't win any of the times up put one in...
