anyways child pageants should be illegal

as a former pageant kid the amount of emotional abuse i went through because of my mother always pushing me to be beautiful and then blaming me and hating me when i didnt win was fucked up. being a pageant kid gave me an eating disorder and has seriously fucked with my self esteem. don’t put your kids through this. don’t let your 5 year old be objectified by others and yourself. 

I always felt so sick watching child pageants, it was obvious the children didn’t even understand what parents were putting them thru and were under so much horrible pressure and abuse only for the fulfillment of their parents and entertainment of viewers, children deserve better than that and it’s sick to make them compete with looks they’re children they shouldn’t have to give a shit abt what they look like, much less be subjected to scrutiny and objectification.
