First off DON'T BE RUDE
Why do people beleive pageants are bad. There are different kinds of pageants like glitz and natrual. Those who haven't been in pageants don't know that they are actually fun. You only say all these things about pageants because your stereotyping. How do you know your child doesn't like something if you don't try it. What if your child is a soccer star or a football star or something like that. How did they become that way? Well, you put them in it in the first place. Pageants are just another activity the child can do in there spare time. Look at the parents that put there child into dance or gymnatics and sooner or later the child is in there everyday for five hours. Does that make them bad parents? Be nice please. I'm not trying to be rude I just want to here your opinions.

A parent pressuring a child to do it is wrong. But if the girl wants to, then she can go for it but should know how to be strong and handle it. If I knew someone who was entering one, I would say: Remember, your beautiful, smart, and bright, and its just a silly little compition. If you lose, it does not mean you are less pretty or smart then the others. I understand they are fun, and I find it a great activity, just as long it doesn't hurt or ruin a kid's self-esteem.

Pageants promote the wrong idea that beauty is important and being beautiful is what society admires. What happened to all the beauty queens of the past. How successful and happy are they now?
