They are going to think that they aren’t perfect, that everything they know is a lie. 6% of children who participate in beauty pageants have suffered from depression. Clearly there is something wrong, these children shouldn’t be suffering from depression, these are 16-year old’s and younger. Young enough to have nothing to be depressed about. “ According to a study conducted by Anna Wonderlich, it has been determined that there is a significant association between childhood beauty pageant participation and

Throughout the entirety of the play both genders treat women as less than men or objectify them, to the point that even sixteen year olds are thinking in terms of how to best attract attention. During the party Shana, a girl Tracy’s age, was running around with a bell on her neck trying to get intimate with several people “get help on quotes”. Through the entirety of the play Ricko treats Tiffany terribly and orders her to do things without thanks, “Shoot down the road and get us some beers.” And “Want to get us another beer, Tiff?” The party seems to be a boys only event with all the parents in Blackrock banning their daughters from going to the party, while all the blokes are all but shoved out the door.

If you do the math, only 6.9% of teachers would want to carry a gun. Some students would be somewhat scared of teachers that carried guns, which stops relationships from growing and turns schools into not so fun places. Ms. Woodmansee said “If I carry a gun in my classroom, I can no longer do my job appropriately, which involves building relationships.” Teachers need to be able to calmly do their job and shouldn’t be anxious or nervous while doing so.

They also do not allow students to show any support for each other because they need a distraction free classroom. A 9 year old girl was not allowed to come to school because she shaved her head for a friend battling cancer. Kids are also getting sent home for wearing items related to their religion, in France, a 15 year old girl was sent home twice because she was wearing a skirt that was displaying her religion. In certain places, kids are not allowed to wear anything that promotes their religion (no crosses, no skullhats, no head scarves etc) Schools also go as far as embarrassing students for violating dress codes.

This is why I think child beauty pageants should be banned because they get sexualised and also their confidence/self-esteem will be lowered at such a young age. People are convinced that the contestants only turn up on the day and prepare on the day. However, this is not the case, because the contestants go to extreme lengths to win so they will prepare all year, this shows the pageants are being drummed into their brains 24/7.

This is basically the theft of childhood, there is plenty of time as an adult to face this pressure without competing and failing at such a tender age.

Parents who enter their kids are condemned as attempting to experience their life, desire and need to feel wonderful and beautiful again through their kid, constraining their kid to perform under stage mum weight, to help them feel better about their lives.

Parents forcing their children to participate child beauty pageants is obviously coming from dismal, over educated, upper middle class individuals who have never been inebriated by the spotlight.

Body shaming should never be allowed on school grounds, or anywhere. Every single day in my life I hear boys and girls calling other students names because of their weight. The word fat is not a bad word. My school should be a place where girls and boys can get away from that kind of harassment, not be exposed to it more.

Cheer teams produce such a love and family atmosphere that it's addicting. I plan to continue cheering and I cannot wait to hopefully cheer in college.

(lee 101) This example shows that Atticus doesn 't want Scout to get into anymore fights at school; instead he wants her to think about what she is doing first.

Before you swallow those 3 Hydroxycut pills, please hear me out Your friend took you shopping and you walked out of the fitting room in a scarlet bodycon dress.
