Whos wish is it?

Recently on Swedish TV they have showed tv-shows with mums and their daughters who "wants to be a minimodel/beauty queen".

This makes me wonder, is it really the child who wanted it? or isn't just the mum who never got to do it herself and is forcing it on her own daughter?

There was one child in the UK, she was brought up on "stage" (the church looked like a school assembly hall) so that the church members could pray for her (to win the beauty pageant she was going to compete in) and the minister in her church asked why she is doing this.. her answer: I donno.

At the pageant, the girls didn't win of course they looked sad but their mum's and siblings looked like they could die on spot. It felt horrible it, the child became even sadder because of her family.
The girls also had practised a special skill to show, like to dance or sing. The parents had then payed for special classes, but when looking on one of the girls singing.. it sounded like a broken record! Worst part.. the mum and teacher said she was going to be able to go far with her singing!!
The day she finally realises it's all fake, imagine that broken heart!!!

I don't think it should be legal with these pageants.
The girls who are under the age of 10 should not wear make-up, wax or shave their legs!!
They are children! and should know what childhood is! Being a grown-up is the major part of life!
There is a difference on playing around with your mum's make up for fun and wear it to look like a model!


These days in media they talk about pressure in school and sports, but what about this?
Who's standing up for these young girls.. it's one thing to play barbie at home, another trying to be one in real life!!
