Nymphet Fantasies

American society has it's fair share of unique issues, one being child beauty pageants. Personal opinion: not such an attractive facet to put your young child into. Let your children play in the mud, not become some poster child "nymphet" that some weirdos have photos posted of in their bathrooms. Yet when these young girls are murdered or missing, they are still posted all over the media. I believe that these pageants are some form of child abuse. Yes, I'm sure some girls enjoy pageants and mothers are careful to respect their child's wishes, but it seems most of the time these children are forced to dress up and walk around on stage when they would rather be playing outside with friends. Isn't there some show on t.v. now called Tiara Toddlers or something? The commercials showed the poor little girl crying because she didn't want lipstick on. I was forced to play the piano my entire adolescent life, and I know many times I did NOT want to play recitals or competitions. I just wanted to play with my friends. Not the same thing, but I can relate to the possible feelings.
