That's nothing!! I saw a show on tv, like
one of those reality series things where
they pry into people's lives and make fun
of them...This couple actually let their,
like, eight year old daughter get plastic
surgery!!! She had a nose job!! I can't
even believe they found a doctor to do
it!!!

What is everyones opinion on them? I mean
if my child had some blow out personality
I guess I would let her but some parents
get crazed about it and almost force their
child into it, ya know?

I'm not sure that I would want my kid
doing that...I mean, even if she really,
really wanted to. Most of those girls end
up with serious eating disorders later in
life, because they grew up in the whole
modeling-gotta-be-skinny atmosphere. If
I did let her, she wouldn't be getting too
involved. A few every now and then,
maybe, but not like, entering every
pageant and spending millions on dresses
and makeup...I just don't think those
girls are old enough to be acting that
grown-up.

I do pageants and I absolutly love them!
People that think kids are forced into
them are wrong b/c in a pageant it is very
apearent when they don't want to be there!

I saw that show on kid beauty pageants
last night...It was horrible. I cant
believe these little like 5-10 year old
girls with makeup caked on their faces and
everything. I want to see statistics on
how many of these girls grow up to have
all kinds of eating disorders and
selfesteem problems...You cant send a kid
the message that they have to be perfect
and pretty to get money from such and
early age and not have negative
precussions.

They only develop the eating disorders and
stuff when an adult is telling them to
lose weight. If I had a daughter and she
wanted to I would let her, but I would be
there with her making sure she didn't have
some adult telling her crap like that.
But, no, I wouldn't push her or make her
do anything she didn't want to. And I
wouldn't trust her to anyone else because
you never do know what people try to put
into their minds. Makes me mad.
But if I noticed she was getting to
obsessed with looks I would make her quit.
Life brings enough problems, I wouldn't
help her develop more!
