reason and it didn’t bother me until one day. All I could see was bright lights‚ a quiet room‚ a large stage and a microphone. In October 2012‚ I was in a beauty pageant‚ that I practiced weeks for. Like a normal pageant‚ it had swimwear‚ talent‚ interview‚ formal wear and finally the questionnaire. This was the most important of the pageant and finally we was here.

This shows the struggle that women have about their body image and the pressure from society to look a certain way. Looks are actually what count in beauty pageants and it doesn’t only affect the contestants but the viewers.

Child Beauty Pageants: Robbing Little Girls’ Innocence There are over 5‚000 child beauty pageants held annually across the United States with girls as young as two-years-old competing in them.

Children Competing in Beauty Pageants Many young children like to participate in pageants. I personally think that putting children in pageants is good for them.

They learn what goes up‚
