[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 352086, member: 1233"] The whole pageant thing is bizarre to me. The children all seem so pushed, as though they had to be adults in small bodies. To put in all those hours of classes, driving sometimes 2 hours each way for a lesson several times a week, to have very little contact with siblings/parents not heavily involved in pageants, well, in my opinion it is wrong. The child has no chance to just go an be a kid. Not in the shows I have watched. Far too many hours spent getting tans, dentures, hair, makeup, etc.... time spent learning intricate routines of highly sexualized movements that would get them in MAJOR trouble in most elementary schools and even in many high schools. All for an end result of a child who may not know how not to be fake, often has low self esteem and has spent so much time focused on competition that they have troubles in any non-competitive arena. You know, like marriage. Or parenting. And the pics, from the show, from various facebook and other online places, are the stuff of dreams for pedophiles all over the world. ick. [/QUOTE]
