Beauty pageants have been the most important television event for many Americans, but now researchers learned that those beauty competitions are bringing many problems to the whole society, so pageants should disappear for the nation's benefit.
             Beauty pageants affect girls' self-esteem making them feel down graded and ugly.
             Young women and girls often feel very uncomfortable with their bodies because women in beauty pageants look thin, sexy and voluptuous, and that is the body ordinary women would like to have. The pageants' contestants often have a plastic surgery to make their boobs bigger, have a face lift, and many other things, that makes contestants look gorgeous, but the women who are not involved in beauty pageants think that the contestants are natural, therefore average women feel bad about their bodies and often starve themselves in order to get thinner.
             In the Unites States there are many girls undernourished because of they want to be as thin as a beauty queen, in consequence those girls are becoming anorexics or bulimics bringing danger to their lives. Beauty pageants should came to an end to stop all that disconfirming feelings of average women of being less than those women parading for millions of people, competing for the queen title and a tiara. Dr. Benjamin Caballero, director of the Center for Human Nutrition at Johns Hopkins says, " Pageants officials should begin taking out contestants who are too thin" (Pritchard). That measure can help girls to find out that being too skinny is not very important and that way girls can feel a little bit more secure about their bodies. Caballero also said that people in the contest try to present an image that is healthy; therefore if they don't accept anyone that has a BMI in the obesity range, those people should not accept people with BMI in the range of under nutrition (Pritchard).
