Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: yes

um, I read down this long list of replies and counter replies to your arguement, and I have to say that you are missing something here.1. kids that young don't want much of anything but to play, and if they seem to want to do a pageant, I promise it is only for the positive attention their parents give them as a result, and not out of any true desire to go through with the actual act. That's like child psychology -101, whatever the most basic possible level is.To continue on that theme. There are plenty of ways to give children this positive attention they are looking for, without teaching them the oh so valuable lesson of vanity.2. Ask yourself why anyone would want to watch little girls, dressed up like big girls, trying to look pretty...Aha! you starting to see now?These pageants are a den of pedophilia, and any parent who is not mentally ill or a pedophile themselves would know this. These parents are sick one way or another, and these pageants need to be outlawed.
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: Yes

I agree with you about the really young children, but as far as people being "sick" because for whatever reason they enter their child in a pageant is a bit harsh. I recently let my 11 year enter a pageant. She wanted to, I was against it, but let her do it. I have to say that some of these pageants mislead parents and claim they are different and it is not about a overly made up child in a price ball gown and that is why I let my child enter Miss Teen 2012. I have to say that the pageant solidified everything that I could not stand about pageants...they are all the same. I got sucked into the 'natural, letting little girls be little girls", so I see how it can happen. I am not sick, nor a pedophile.
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: yes

In child beauty pageants, the girls don't have a choice. They're usually 8 year old girls who are forced to go on outrageous diets and even go to tanning salons in order to be fit for these pageants.See the movie "Little Miss Sunshine". It's like that, but take out the comedy and add the drama from "Jesus Camp".
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: No

Tanning salons are 18+So unless the parents own their own then the children get spray tans. That's why they're so orange.And I don't know the validity of the diets thing. Most upper class children don't eat at fast food as much as the lower class. Lower class families don't have the money to do pageants, so it's mostly only upper class. Children live active lives, and if they eat well, good. I think the diets might be a bonus in the fight against childhood obesity.No one wants to see a stick thin child, not even pageant people.I own little miss sunshine. It's a cute movie, but she's an eccentric kid. She's the type that quits pageantry. Others might like it more.It's not like forcing religion on a child. The child can say, no!
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: yes

1. It doesn't matter. Parents do it anyway.2. The diets are done unhealthily. Little kids, especially the ones forced into pageants, are supposed to have a certain amount of fat. the parents diet them to a point where they have an unhealthy amount of body fat.3. I wasn't referring to the girl herself, i was referring to the other girls in the show. 4. A child can say no, but parents in general don't respond to a child's no... seriously, how many parents say "eat your dinner" and then when the kid says no all of a sudden they just let off.
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: yes

I disagree vehemently on the issue of children having choice. Pageants allow babies to compete, and clearly babies cannot be seen as having choice in the matter. And even for children who are of an age that they can have a choice, still parents are pushy. They force them to practice, to get those ridiculous tans, or the fake teeth. I've watched many documentaries/specials about child pageants, and one theme that is consistent is that kids don't enjoy that aspect of pageantry. And yet their parents (read: mothers) make them. As for the dieting being a bonus in the fight against obesity? Absurd. There's no doubt that childhood obesity is a growing epidemic, but dieting is always dangerous. It may just be that I'm hung up on the word "diet" here, because there is nothing wrong with having children eat healthy, and in fact every parent (as well as school) ought to see that they do. But diet connotates low-fat foods and calorie counting, neither of which looks at the big picture. Fat is fine. Calories are fine. It's all about proportion and activity-level.
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: No

I agree with you, average children shouldnt go on diets in the regime sense, but they should bave good diets That's why I specified that no one wants to see super skinny children.Babies don't have an opinion. They like the attention, and they just get paraded around. Babies don't care.Children have as much of a choice about this activity as they any other. Children play soccer, get tutors, et cetera. Parents want their children doing something. If they really really don't want to do it, the child can voice that.If you dont know how annoying a little girl can get when you're making her do something she doesn't want to, the you have not been to the second circle of hell. That's how annoying they can get. The girls can throw the pageants, mess their hair up, et cetera.Ps the teeth are fake, the tans are spray on.
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: yes

Again, it's the word diet that throws me off. Diet has bad connotations. Eating right and being healthy is fine, but should not be confined to pageants and should DEFINITELY NOT be done for the specific goal of the pageant. Regardless of whether or not babies care, the point is that children are in pageants against their will. Ha! Having been a tutor, I can guarantee most of the kids I tutored had no choice in the matter. I think the point isn't that children despise pageants and are forced to do them, but rather that they are manipulated into them by their parents. "Ps the teeth are fake, the tans are spray on." Yes, I've pointed that out. And that the children do not enjoy these aspects of the pageant world.
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: No

Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know that the wathcing of countless documentaries made you an expert on the subject.You have no idea how those girls feel. Some girls do pageants from the time they are babies until they are 23 or more. They obviously didn't hate it!!Tutoring is forced upon the children, so children shouldn't be tutored?Oh, and I'm sorry you don't understand the difference between and diet and a diet. That's your problem, not mine.
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: yes

"Some girls do pageants from the time they are babies until they are 23 or more. They obviously didn't hate it!!" That's not a necessary conclusion. They could very well have hated it, but been convinced to do it for the money. Which, if we're being honest, is the main reason parents involve their children in pageants in the first place. And who gets that money? Clearly not the 18-month old who won it. "Tutoring is forced upon the children, so children shouldn't be tutored?" I didn't say that. I was merely drawing attention to the fact that your example sucked. Just because kids are involved in other activities doesn't mean their parents aren't forcing them. Involvement in an activity doesn't necessitate desire to do that activity. But I would make the case that pageants ought not be forced. "Oh, and I'm sorry you don't understand the difference between and diet and a diet." I'm not quite sure what the difference between and diet and a diet is. Or even what the hell "and diet" is.
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: yes

Yea, seriously, I agree with the other guys against you... you're not understanding the psychology of entering a child into this stuff. You're making it all seem so simple-minded; 'they have a choice, and if they do it for 20 years, they MUST LIKE IT!" Doesn't work that way. They could've been doing it for so long because they weren't given the opportunity to realize there's more to life than pageants. They could also have been threatened into remaining in pageants, as well as, manipulated, and/or on a contract.I posted a debate a month ago about a kid that was actually like 12 or something, that didn't want to do western medicine methods of curing his cancer. His parents agreed with him, or perhaps actually just convinced him to agree that he shouldn't get it done the western way. Either way, his parents got the upper hand... and unfortunately, the government had the upper hand against all of them. Point being, any child can say what they want, but if you're under 18, it's going to happen the way your parents want it to happen, period.
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: yes

Actually one does not have to be 18 to tan. In many local tanning salons all that is required is a parent guardian signiture. You also stated that pageant people dont want to be stick thin? Then how come weight and apperance is on the scoring grid of a child beauty pagent. The child can say no but the crazy pagent moms are the ones living through them. How many times when you were under ten talked back to your parents?
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: Yes

I say the samething parent force their child to be in pagents i watched tyara banks show and kids say they dont like pagents parents also but young kids on deits
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: No

I don't believe that all children have a choice. I guarantee that if a child asks to not participate, some parents would make excuses, such as she doesn't know what she's talking about, and continue to enter them in competitions.
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: No

There is nothing natural about today's beauty pageants. These little girls have so much make-up on and hairspray and fake eye lashes and so on, that there is absolutely nothing of that child left on that stage. If the pageant promoted natural beauty, then that would be a whole different story. What's wrong with chubby cheeks and missing teeth and natural curls? Why do they have to be made up to look like adults? Why not embrace the child's youth?! And why are we teaching little girls that it's okay to be superficial?
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: No

there are such things as natural pageants, my sister competes in many of them. NO make up, fake hair, fake tan, fake nails, or fancy dresses. Sunday Best is the dress code. theses girls are only based on NATURAL beauty, and their stage presance.
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: No

I have been doing beauty pageants since I was 2 months old. My Daughter now does pageants too. I am a 22 year mother who couldn't be prouder of her pageant daughter. You really have to think from a pageant mom's side before posting something on-line. Nothing ever happened to me and pageants gave me confidence as a young child. My 2 year old daughter does pageants because she loves them. THE DAY SHE TELLS ME "MOMMY, NO MORE" IT WILL BREAK MY HEART AND I WILL PROBABLY HAVE A HEART ATTACK, BUT IT WILL BE THE LAST PAGEANT SHE WILL DO!

Are you for real about this ( I get the sense that you are joking)If:for real - then: Does your kid often times win? - if she dosent, does she still find it fun to take part? - Dont you think that your kid has more important skills to spend her time and energy learning (especially if she has won a few times)? - Does it not worry you that although she is gaining confidence - that confidence might setup a false sense of achivement and that she will get used to things falling into her lap without making an effort (for lets face it: being in a beuty pagent takes little effort and no earned skill - only a "skill"/gift that you are born with)Last but not least: Do you find nothing wrong with a two year old defining herself first and foremost on prepped up outer looks?
Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: yes

Does anyone have any idea how pedophiles or other scum could watch these pageants simply to please themselves? I am not saying only those who attend these functions are indeed perverts. I'm simply saying that these pageants display children in an adult-sense of "beauty". Most of the young ladies I've seen on TV that participate in these pageants appear 20 years older, only 3ft shorter and childish in complexion. Also noted are the comments referring to "skin deep" beauty. Children are meant to play dress up and explore the vast space that is their imagination. Not to worry about whether their mascara is running.

I think that beauty pagents are a fun way for kids to show thier truue talents and active personality and there is nothing wrong with that. When kids have tanturums during pagents it is the fault of parents not of beauty pagents.I personally love compiting in beauty pagents

Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: No

Well... when it comes to this kind of stuff, it's really about the parenting. If the mother is forcing the daughter to take part in beauty pageants, well then, she's being a bad mother. But then, banning child beauty pageants isn't really going to stop mother from abusing her because of other activities or reasons, whether is be sports, music, performing arts or anything else. If the parent is going to go to such extents (forced waxing, botox, fake tans, excessive amounts of make-up) then what makes you think that banning one 'activity' which the child takes part in will stop the abuse completely.Another thing, the pedophiles which are being pleased by the girls, who look older and more 'sexier' parading down the stage. Firstly, even though the children might look a little older, doesn't mean they are. I mean, they're still 50 cm tall. Secondly, why are child beauty pageants being blamed for the presence of pedophiles? It's not like they're putting up a sign that says "come watch 'insert beauty pageant' if you wanna be sexually aroused by kids." LOLSo what i'm trying to say is that banning beauty pageants should not be the solution to these problems. If you want less child abuse, insure that the parents aren't doing it. If you don't want pedos lurking around the street, then you need to do something to stop that. Banning child beauty pageants may stop one source of entertainment for them, but there are such things as child pornography and such (even though it's illegal, people still do it). And what makes you people think that banning beauty pageants will make all the pedos just disappear. You want them to say "Oh no, i can't perv on anymore kids in beauty pageants. Oh well, then i guess i'll stop being sexually attracted to children..." I'm sorry the world doesn't work that way.If you wanna stop the bad stuff in the world, you're just gonna have to think of a better solution, guys.

First of all, I remember when all of this ridiculous foaming at the mouth drama over the "danger" of child beauty pageants started about 15-16 years ago after the horrific murder of JonBenet Ramsey. A little girl who had started out competing in child beauty pageants when she was about 4 or 5, after telling her mother she wanted to compete in beauty pageants after attending a reunion held for former pageant winners (her mother was Miss West Virginia in the 1970s). What unfortunately followed the drama surrounding child beauty pageants was also the the drama over the "sexualization" of girls, a moral panic that is increasingly being used as an excuse to control women and girls. Most people actually have children in child beauty parents because they actually thought of the possible benefits; they'd make new friends, learn the value of good sportsmanship, and the increase in the child's self-confidence would go up. Those three benefits I listed are just a few out of other possible benefits out there. Some parents enter their kids not because they're stage parents, but usually to help their child overcome their shyness, that is if they're very shy around people. No parent deserves to be shamed for entering their child in a beauty pageant because they have their own reasons. No child deserves to be shamed for participating in them, just as they don't need to be slut-shamed for wearing a costume that shows skin. It's a costume, not an outfit they wear on a regular basis.

Debate: Should child beauty pageants be banned?
Side: No

How can anyone say that a mother is forcing a child to compete in pageants because it is something she wanted to do as a child? You do not know these people. How do you know that the child doesn't want to do this? The reason I ask is I am one of those so called pageant moms. I hate pageants.. not for the same reason you people do. I was always a tomboy who didn't like dress up. As an adult the last thing I want to be doing is makeup, hair, and waiting around for hours with crazy parents. However, My daughter (11 years old) wants to do pageants. She loves it and I have asked her repeatedly if she wants to take a break and she gets really upset and says no. So please tell me again how I'm making my daughter do pageants for my own gain? You people are ignorant and have nothing better in life to do than pretend to know everything. How about this..
