Yep I agree

P.S Im challenging every1 right now..STAKE BIDS AND NO STAKE BIDS..I ACCEPT IT ALL!!!

See.... I did pageants from when i was seven until a couple of years ago, im 22 now. My friend did them, and i went to one with her at 7 and begged my parents to do them. They finally gave in, and i loved them.
I think its the way you and your family goes in to them, i used to love spending so much time with my mother, and I LOVE to preform, and it gave me an outlet to preform, and it was fun to plan outfits and meet new friends. I never did sports, so this was kinda my thing... I won like 25% of what i did, so it was never about winning, and i think the pageant system taught me a lot about myself.
I ran in a state competition for the Miss America system, and i didnt place at all, but i realized i had been pressured by a lot of people to do things that were not me in the pageant, although i am not going to do it again, i know i should of listened to myself (and my mother more) and i would of done better, i trust myself and my gut a lot more about things now

.. anyways, just my experience, and i didnt have  a stage mom, which helped!

Hey... no its totally fine. I am totally fine answering any ones questions!!!

Well... i think some pageants are very different than others. I grew up in the north east, but pageants in the south are much more intense! So i can see a more grown up look, and Jon Benit (is that how you spell it) really showed a neg. side to them.

In every pageant there are girls that try to be grown up and those who look age appropriate. I always looked age appropriate (i couldn't wear makeup till 12 at all, and even then it was very little). If we did a pageant were the girls that won were "too grown up" we wouldnt do the pageant again, but most of the ones i did they awarded them to the most personal, age appropriate girl, which was nice.

Even in the Miss America system, there are girls who do it for the right reasons, and really are classy, well put together educated women, and then there are those who do it for other reasons.

Forget weird, pageants for girls under 16 is just plain disgusting and shallow.

Totally agree. You see six year olds caked in makeup at these things.

pagent for under 16 year old is not weird
they're just having fun but starting at the age of 10 not younger  because they will get competitive and they will cry lol

If all child pageant contestants were like MEC, I would have no problem with them.  It's interesting to hear her perspective.  But if it's the mom who is pushing the girl to be in them, I think that's wrong.

As the adult pageants go, I have absolutely no problem with those.  I have a friend (who sadly moved away!) who is REALLY into them and would have Miss America parties!  Each person at the party randomly drew a state so you had someone to root for!  And he would have little prizes for the winner including a tiara, some roses, a toy car, some Barbie make-up, a little plastic suitcase (luggage!) and other stuff like that... Toy versions of what Miss America wins!  It was always a lot of fun!
