I know I have kinda harped on this subject, but I never heard of people being so down on pagents until I started getting on Yahoo Answers. One of my best friends growing up, was in pagents all her life and she is a perfectly normal, sweet, loving adult, so she wasn't harmed by them. I have heard some on her make reference to perverts and such, but I have never heard a case where a child was harmed as a direct result of a pagent. They haven't even proved why Jon Benet was killed, so there is no proof it was related to the pagents. I personally wouldn't put put all that makeup, hair pieces, and $1000 costumes, but regular pagents, like local town pagents don't do this, or not the ones I have seen. If a child wants to do these pagents, the parents don't deserve to be critisized for allowing it. What is the difference in these pagents and a parent who gets their kid an agent and starts hiring them out as a model for clothes companies or magazines? It is all in good fun, so please tell me.
