Black and white striped nails

 Another one of the cons or downsides to allowing your teen to participate in a beauty pageant is the results.  Unfortunately, it seems as there is a stereotype associated with beauty pageants.  Many individuals only believe that beauty pageants are for those who are breathtakingly beautiful or skinny. 

 Perhaps, this is due in part to the fashion industry and many beauty pageant judges.  Although your teen can participate in a beauty pageant if she wants to, no matter what her appearance is, it is

 something that you may want to take into consideration.  For teens, there is nothing worse or more damaging to one’s self-esteem if they are told or made to feel as if they aren’t pretty or talented enough.
