Former Child Beauty Pageant Contestants Reveal What It Was Really Like

4. Mommy Issues: “My mother started me in pageants before I was a year old. I never had a choice in the matter and was forced to do them until I was 12. I only remember hating them. I would bawl my eyes out while getting my hair and makeup done. There were no good moments to come from it and it seriously caused a lot of resentment towards my mother.” (Reddit user: zombiemommybot)
