Placing your kid in beauty pageants is beyond wrong! Why the hell do some parents feel like it's necessary to place their child in these meaningless competitions? Like seriously, do they not realize that their kid is only going to grow up thinking that the only way they can be successful in life is by being "pretty"? These parents are completely oblivious to the consequences that these pageants bring. All these pageants do is place more and more pressure on children, to be what the judges perceive as "beautiful". Why would you ever want to let your child take part in something that's only based on looks; where they’ll constantly be evaluated on only their appearance and nothing else? These beauty pageants literally disrupt their childhoods. Being a kid should all be about caring less about what people think, playing games, going on "adventures" and living your childhood to its fullest. Clearly, the children participating in these pageants will be able to experience what it truly means to be a kid, since they're being introduced to a materialistic world at such a young age. They're never going to learn about self-value nor how to respect others. Instead, they'll learn to become bratty and superficial. These little girls literally look like 40 year old women trapped inside a 5 year old body! It's absolutely disgusting and really f***ing creepy! They're getting spray tanned, pounds of make up, hair extensions, fake eyelashes, fake teeth, fake nails, and wearing inappropriate outfits. This whole idea of beauty pageants for children to compete in is just so disturbing and undesirable. These kids should just have the freedom to have a normal life.
