How do you feel about little girls being in beauty pageants?

Beauty pag. have changed allot in the years and yes im talking young little girls… They actually have these fake teeth they give have made for their daughters because with out them your lil girl has no chance,,, they put pounds of make up on them and they look like lil barbie dolls “so cute” lol but these lil girls instead of going out to play have to watch there weigh and practice there dance and everything else for these compititions.

honestly all it does is put stress on your kids and on u

I am 13 and I was never in a pageant even though when I was little thats all I wanted to do .One year my friend went into a pageant and one of the other girls said she was to fat so she stoped eating and had to get lots of therapy.I think you should wait till your child grows up than ask her about it and make sure she knows what coming for her and not to listen to it!

I listened to a radio segment about this yesterday. A man called in trying to get the show to sponser his daughter. Apparently it’s pretty expensive, and hard to find sponsers.

It brings kids up pretty spoilt, and no offence, but I am against the idea. Maybe when she’s older, you could enrol her in modelling or something(of course asking her if she would like to), then she has a choice. If a young child is brought up that way, then it seems normal to them, they may boast and make others jealous. Do what you will, but I wouldn’t. Britz

I had a baby boy back in October , && honest, I believe that if I had a girl I would have enrolled her into beauty pagents as well !! { only the ones where they don’t wear make-up AT ALL though! } I think that it helps with their personality && I believe it would help with self-confidence as well !!

I think is wrong. too much makeup and glamour for little kids. it’s a lot more pressure then paretns realize and they don’t get to enjoy being a kid.

I don’t think I’d want my daughter to deal with the scene. I was in one beauty pageant as a little girl. The other little girls were great. But the mothers…oh my goodness, the mothers. I believe I was four. My number fell off. None of the adults would help a 4 year old pin the number back onto her dress. You can’t help the competition. Remembering from 4 year old eyes, they were “mean.” Looking back, the competitiveness of women using 4 year olds to gain some self-esteem or purpose at the expense of little kids is just sad. I wouldn’t want my daughter around those kinds of adults.

awww that would be adorable

the kind of life I live and the people I live around

tell me its IMPORTANT to do pageants when you r young

hate it. waste of money.

no way! Barbies Are Not REAL!!! Seriously you have’nt got a kid yet, don’t push it into something when it’s not even born

my daughter was in a beauty pageant and she loved it

I think it would good. I was in one when I was little and so was my sister. we both loved and enjoyed it.

I myself I don’t like, but it depends on the parent and what type of pageant natural or glitz. If your a parent that does it more competitive than for fun than no. I prefer natural over glitz because that just has to much make for little girls.
