Would You Like Your Daughter To Contest For Beauty Pegeant - Like Miss Universe?

Hi okwusman1! Just want to share my story. When I was a little girl, my family were pushing me to join Little Miss Philippines, segment of a prestigious noon time show in the country. After all the practice and proper ramping sessions, a week before the event, I told my family that I wouldn't join the competition. Of course, it made them very disappointed. Everytime the topic is opened, they would just sigh and wished that my life would be different if I opted to join the contest. When I grew up, and I have a daughter of my own, I would support her in whatever career she wanted to take. If she's for beauty pageants, then I'll support her. If not, then I'll support her too...

i would love to encourage her if she's that willing to join and i know that it's every mother's dreams to have their daughters join some beauty pageant

Personally, I would not like my daughter to take part in a beauty pageant because I believe that she should concentrate more on honing other things rather than the superficial beauty. But, it cannot be denied that joining Miss Universe does open a lot of doors for deserving girls. And, a lot of contestants are not just beauties but are also smart. For example, our country's rep this year is a law student who graduated summa cumlaude in her college pre-law course. The fact that she entered Bb Pilipinas, and represented the country in Miss Universe made her a household name which could open up various opportunities to her. However, if she were just a pretty face with nothing between her ears but air, she would not have a very long future even if she does win a beauty pageant.

I don't think beauty Pageant is for irresponsible girls. I believe that some girls are meant to join this pageant because of their beauty and brains. Also, most of the pageant, they give out certain responsibilities to the girls and check out their personalities. I think this really depend on the contestant on how she really handle herself If your sister want to join any beauty pageant then I think it would be nice if you support her. Who knows, she might win!
