Should children’s beauty pageants be banned??

1. Yes, I think this is a good idea.

   It’s probably will be the best for little children these days.
   Because, being involved in such a mature contest, will only cost a big trouble. Because, it involves them to being more mature and act very spoiled at home. Instead, of entering this illegal contest why not study instead? So, it helps them know about their own education and prepares them in the future. Not learning how to be such a freak in the future.

2. I think it is a good idea

3. Yes It should be

4. Ban it, ban it, ban it!

5. this is disgusting that children are entering beauty pegeants

6. sup gee

7. i think dey should banned it for 1 and under because if the kids under 16 do it dey r moi bees but its alright for the older people

8. i think their shouldnt be a pageant for lil girlz cause if their not chosen they might cry

9. that is sad sad and sad

10. I think that New Zealand should ban beauty pageants because some girls don’t want to do it and they are forced to compete…….

11. i think dey should banned it for 1 and under because if the kids under 16 do it dey r moi bees but its alright for the older people

12. no offence but it should be band forever that is gros

13. I think that they should be banned for kids under 10 because kids should not do them unless they want to!

14. NO THEIR HOT

15. I do get both sides of this argument but i think that they shouldn’t band it because if the little girls want to actually want to be a model then this will be good for them~@~

16. I THINK IT SHOULD NT BE BANNED FOR KIDS OVER THE 10 BUT IF THEY ARE UNDER THAN YES IT SHOULD BE BANNED

17. Do they even have pageants in New Zealand ?

18. i think that they should be banned because everyone is beautiful just the way they are!

19. they should be banned also because people just enter them to look pretty in front of boys.And some people might say to someone you look ugly and then they might enter one just to make them self look pretty

20. I dont think it should be allowed.

21. i think it should be banned because you are treating them like a doll

22. i think it should be banned because you are treating them like a doll it is mean to them because they dont know what is happing

23. i think it is mean because you are play with her like a toy or doll

24. It should be banned in france because the parents should not let anyone compete under the age of 16

25. YES THEY HAVE TO BANNED THEN HONEY BOO BOO CAN STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

26. NO MORE HONEY BOO BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

27. Beauty Pagaents are just really really wrong WHAT THE HELL!

28. i think it should be banned because they are to young to compete

29. Hi I’m from Rotorua Intermediate School and I think that this act of shameful competition is disgusting. Search up the name Thylane Loubry Blondeau on Google images and you will find a young girl who has been dragged into the life that only adults should live in. The photos say it all. Fake eyelashes and heavy makeup is true, so is the fact that they wear tight dresses and high heels. These girls should not be exposed to this sort of “adult” attention so yes it should be banned!

30. I want to reply to toggaf kcid, no it isn’t “hot because these girls are being put into the spotlight that they may or may not like. It will cause controversy and it should be banned. And How old are you?? If you are older than 10 you will have realised that you have made a big mistake saying what you said. Everybody is intitled to their own opinion and I’m just stating mine.

31. why were they invented in the first place

32. i think that they can’t do that because the parents have been looking after there kids for there whole life

33. and the mum and dad to jail

34. sam is wrong because they lose all there money and that is sad :{

35. if the parents do not pay 40,000 dollers they have to go to jail and pay the fine

36. this should be banned because if they dont when bad news for them and who needs to be beautiful even though i am …
    THIS SHOULD BE BANNED

37. I soo love them ive done one b4

38. Stupid I might be a girl and i might like getting all dressed up but treating kids like a foll is not ok the a human being and should not have that much makeup on.
    THE END

39. I think that it should be banned because their parents are spending to much money and spoiling their kids. So basicly when they get older they will be used to geting money spent for them.

40. yes ban it just like sam said so they can stop honey boo boo

41. Adam chill its his opinion

42. I think that is crazy

43. at school my class we did a debate about this and there is 26 of us all together and about 5 were on no and the rest were on yes including me

44. I have a really good point to why this should be banned because if you win the money you are most likely to spend all of it getting ready for the next one 😉

45. i think it should stop because little girls should have a normal life not a “im a little cutey queen, someone should get my make up”

46. Man! Little girls should stop competing in beauty pageants bcuz it’s just annoying and bad for them!

47. that is just sooooo stupid they

48. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

49. That is a lot of money!
    But I think it is kind of cute the beauty padgets that the give to the little kids.

50. No, I think it is a bad idea making those little girls do that sort of stuff.

    No offence but making them wear all of that makeup and those tight little dresses and high OMG that just isnt natural

51. i think it is stupid for beauty pagents on all ages from 1-25!:p

52. Yessssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

53. NO BECAUSE THERE SO CUTE LOVE THEM

54. OMG definitely yes it should be banned . UGLY

55. Soooooooo bad

56. It should TOTALLY BE BANNED!!!!! It is ridiculous to dress a child up like a doll and enter her into a ‘competition’ originally meant for adults. OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!

57. No. i think it is weard and stuff but its still a realy cool thing to do that can lead to alot when theyre older

58. Personally I Don’t think this is a bad idea. It gives children the chance to dress up, gives them the chance to feel like a grown up. 🙂

59. All beauty pageants should be banned! They make people hate themself and think they’re not pretty enough if they lose

60. People don’t need to pretty on the out side because you get more friends from being pretty on the inside so I think this should just a little club for girls to put on gentle lip gloss and dresses not heavy make up and expensive jewel’s

61. they schould’t be baned because girls can show of there beuty girls rule so dont make all the girls out there in the world be baned and make the feel bad

62. i want those little dreses to be longer

63. yes cause they look good enyway

64. The outrage and arguments happening down here in the comments is… bad. It is quite obvious that parents should ban these competitions. It is better to show the world your natural beauty rather than cover it full of lies. But really… we should focus on what their personality is.

    OPEN YOUR EYES, CHILDREN OF THE COMMENT SECTION.

65. I think it should be banned because it could influence on them when they are older, and by that I mean wearing tight short dresses and lots of make up, and they could get into bad choices when the go to night clubs and get drunk.

66. Yes they should be banned like who cares if they look beautiful or not.

67. Yes it is rediclous????????

68. Hey! they are just kids not dress-up dolls.

69. i think it should NOT be banned because it is people lives an dreams and we cant take that away from people we know they get suborn sometimes but who care we are not the ones that are doing are we

70. be banned

71. That should be banned i mean those are young girls not dress up dolls!
