Children should never feel bad about themselves,so why make them feel that way? Why expose them to cruelty and harmful things such as beauty pageants. I know some people might think it's not as bad as it looks and that it's just harmless fun, but as you see the look in the children's faces after a loss is just sad for that child. The tears and pain etched on a their faces just by winning or losing a pageant you can make or break a girls confidence, and the latter one is what happens durning that time. There is a strong opinion on this topic and think that this is just not the way a young girl should be brought up. Competing for beauty is very wrong and makes other people feel ugly about themselves if they lost.

Beauty pageants make little girls feel that they need to put make up and wear tight and short clothing. People find this adorable because they see little girls dolled up looking cute, but really in the future these girls can become a horrible idol for other little girls because as she was younger she thought it was okay to dress in tight and short clothing and put so much make up on that you can not even see her natural face. The competition consists of girls from infant to ten year olds. In order for these girls to win they have to wear pounds of make up and short clothing that makes the girls feel uncomfortable,but the parents don't care because they want their child to win. No one really has ever thought on how the children feel about this. These little girls even have to wear heels in bathing suits. Isn't that sad and disrupting to the girls childhood?

Girls at such a young age shouldn't be allowed to participate in beauty pageants. This promotes low self esteem and a problem with worrying about her weight and her appearance. It should not be acceptable for children to stress about these kinds of issues at a young age. Another example is that some children are being forced to compete in these pageants by their families, so they can get the award money. It's not uncommon for children to be forced in doing these competitions.

Some believe children should be in pageants this position is weak because this is destroying a child's childhood. These celebrates who started at a young age all say they regret it because they didn't have a childhood like other girls. They didn't have a chance to go and have fun and eat whatever they wanted. Like these girls in the pageants they have to be careful what they eat or what they do because it can ruin their chances by winning the completion. This is what causes many disorders, like bulimia and anorexia so they can look good and be skinny.

In conclusion, little girls should not be competing in beauty pageants because it will make them feel bad on themselves. Parents need to know that they need to put their children's happiness in front of their own. Most children who do these pageants grow up to be sick. These little girls should not be treated as if they are twenty years old. They are only like five they should be going to Chuckie Cheeses not beauty pageants. Kids need to be able to be normal kids going to school have best friends not going to pageants and having competitors versing against each other. Imagine if you were that little girl forced to be in beauty pageants wearing little tight clothes that are itchy and gives you rashes. How would you feel? Children
