Explotation of children
What do people think of baby competitions, child beauty pagents and child stars?
I have always hated this with a passion and think it's making a child into a commodity of sorts. I don't think it's right making a five year old little girl wake up at 4am to lather herself with makeup, curled eyelashes and what not , teaching her to batt her eyelashes at judges and all the rest of the bullshit that comes with it. It's just wrong wrong wrong wrong in my opinion.
Same goes with putting kids into photo competitions and entering them in modelling things. I think it's teaching children (especially girls) that looks are the most important thing to get you through society and will lead them into psycological and self esteem problems.
Also i assume the parents are the ones that pocket any cash from these expeditions. I hope that if any kids are involved in this sort of thing a bank account is at least opened up for them.
I really really hate seeing little girls dressed up in fuck me boots too...
So what do people think? Has anyone done this to their kids or did this as a child themselves?
