Little girls in beauty pageants. Are you for or against ..and why ?

I am very very much against it. For one, the little girls look way too grown up. That is the spookiest thing. I was always creeped out by little Jon Bonet Ramsey's photos. She was just a "Baby" 6 years old and she looked like she could've been 16. To me that is exploitation and it is an open invitation for child molesters as well as people who are involved in pornography rings. \n\nAnother thing is, the pageants put way too much stress on the little girls. They really demand too much and by the end of the pageant the girls are just exhausted and they get fussy and that is just not acceptable. It's terrible. It's stressful and again I believe it to be exploitation\n\nI had two little girls (sisters) as cute as cute could be and so sweet and so loving and their parents had them in pageants and their lives were miserable. \n\nI remember the older girl crying when she found out that they had to go to a pageant. Poor things! :(

Ok put it this way, when you look at me and Myleene without our make up on- I look better than her.\nSo Im guessing if you put us both in all that make up and under all those lights, I'd be a damn good competetor.  Except I dont talk like a little girl and call everything 'Amazing'.\nAnd Im not so clean cut goody goody- you would have so much more naughty fun with me x

As actresses and models get thinner and thinner, the media always comments on how wonderful they look. Our youth thinks that the thinner they become, the better they will look too. What our young girls are unaware of is how many of these actresses and models have eating disorders, are airbrushed to look perfect, and are not always healthy. \nFinally, last month during Fashion Week in Europe, models were sent home for being too thin. I think that sent a great message.

Because Girls are always are in competition with eachother. I dont know why because it is bad. I have been known to do it. Girls shouldnt do that though.

Of course it is. They sure are not harmful, and contrary to what many think, Woman in general do not see them as a bad thing. \nI know this time and age are diferent, but maybe sometimes we can just relax and enjoy the contest.

Bratz are just part of the promotion for pedophiles. The more little girls want to dress like whores and wear make-up like whores, the more it's ok for pedophiles to treat little girls like whores.\nWhy don't people pay attention to what they buy for their children?

You have the media , magazines, tv shows, etc. to thank for that. I think it sends the wrong message to young girls . they think they have to measure up to what society has required of them to be accepted. If this question directly is about yourself, my advice to you would be to just be yourself. hold your head up high, dress up the way you want, wear makeup or not, just do what makes you feel beautiful. always remember there is nothing more sexy than a confident woman.

I know what you mean. I feel the same way. The outfits for girls are getting smaller and smaller, and so are they. It just doesn't seem right, the world makes it seem like a certain type is beautiful, but in reality beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Thanks for the 2 points. I feel like you know me.

I like it....don't change it.    To what were you thinking of changing it to? \n\nJust being a "curious_munkee"  :-p\n\nEDIT:  awwww to your lil' girl.  :-)  If you are comfty with showing everyone and entire world your daughter's pic as your avatar, I would love to see her.  :-)

Yes I do think that the right person won. Danielle takes amazing photos and has a really strong walk with personality to boot. Joanie was a really strong model too but it seems like her look is al over the market all ready. The top model winner needed to be something new. And you're right about dark skinned girls not having enough exposure. Joanie can find work anywhere but we needed a dark skin girl to win the show.

I don't mind girls wearing make-up. However, I do mind it when girls cake on the make-up and look like clowns (so I agree with you). \n\nIt just shows that a girl cares about her appearance, whereas if she had too much make-up, it would suggest she was completely uncomfortable with her appearance, and no make-up at all suggests she does not care about her appearance (although other factors such as hygiene come into play as well). \n\nI think you've got the right idea.

No im not obsessing of their little girl. i agree with you that she is just a child. what is the world going to do if she decides not to live in the spotlight? people should think about her as a person and not just as a famous baby.

No, and here is my reason\n\nIt is a celebration of womanhood. \nThe women in the pageants are not just lovely they are smart too. They do not look sickly they look healthy. Yes I do see how this can be seen as an advertisement for anorexia but that is not the fault of the pageant people or the contestants. It is the fault of the parents and the people in the lives of the women and men that are afflicted with these horrible conditions. I was never in a pageant. Nor was it a big part of my life, but I did watch the Mis America pageant every year with out fail. I felt pride for my state each time she went on to the next round. I loved the accomplishments that these ladies made in their lives and I love that they have time to show their competitive side at these competitions. \n\nYou can flip this around on men too! Wight lifting competitions for men. Isn’t it all the same? The men have been reported to do harmful things to their bodies too just like the women. And the men are looked at just for their big ripples and not their brains.\n\nAll competition is good if it is taken in the right context and not obsessed over.
