When you enter a beauty pageant there is a talent section and swimsuit/sportswear categories. With these parts of the competition we teach our girls to use their bodies to feel beautiful. Most of the girls who participate in the talent portion of the pageant will dance for their talent, these girls are taught to use their cute smiles and sometimes sexual movements to impress the judges and get a crown as a representation of their beauty. Over the years a controversy over the swimsuit portion of the pageant has had such an impact that teen pageant competitions now feature activewear instead of swimsuits in order to promote a healthy lifestyle that all girls they must have. Even with the shift to athletic clothing, girls are still taught to idolize their bodies, “many of the young women with eating disorders have been trained at an early age to value physical perfection, thinness, athletic ability and attractiveness". (Cartwright, Children's Beauty Pageants: What Are We Teaching Our Girls?) Another issue that Cartwright raises regarding what we teach our girls is that we are teaching girls to strive for the wrong form of attention. These girls are learning that the best kind of attention comes from how you look. That the outside is what matters, compared to what's inside. Pageants also teach girls the wrong form of competitiveness, pageants teach them to compare themselves to the girl next to them and try to be prettier than them. Conversely, some pageant parents will claim that “participating in beauty pageants is no different from playing a sport, which requires time and money and puts great pressure on young contestants…. Like young athletes, little beauty queens learn discipline and take great pride in it
