Beauty pageants are demeaning to women. They cause many problems, not only to those who participate in the pageantry, but also to those who watch them. They can lead to low self-esteem, compulsive eating disorders, or exercise, and limit the idea of beauty. Children who are exposed to beauty pageants are thrust into the adult world at too young of an age; our children do not need to dress out of their age range or wear layers of makeup to look good! Women do not need to feel inadequate most of the time because of the standards set in society. Children don't need to grow up around that. The solution: banning beauty pageants in the United States.
