Child Beauty Pageants

http://www.thedailybeast.com/galleries/1000/1/

Child beauty pageant is a beauty contest which involves participants of age 18 or younger.

There has been a huge debate on child pageants where people want it to be banned. People think that little girls use artificial means to boost their self esteem which is not a good way to think as a child. It is wrong to teach children that looks are the most important. Other people think that it is a form of child abuse since sometimes the child is not willing to participate.



I find it scary how children's parents can dress up their child to make them look more than ten years of what they are suppose to look like. I understand that some parents think it is cute and fun, but I think it won't have a positive effect to their teenage life.


some examples: (age 7-10)
