Teens Share Opinions of Miss USA Results

It has always been my dream to model and be in the fashion industry. I watch the Miss USA Beauty Pageant every year, but I missed it this year. I joined the facebook group in order to read all of the updates and I was surprised to see negative wall comments such as, “Ew, Miss so-and-so can’t win. The other contestants look better.”

In the end, Miss Michigan took the crown. I want to say how proud of her and my country I am. Many people believe Miss USA, Miss Missouri, and Miss Teen pageants revolve around appearances and air-heads, but they’re ignoring the facts. Being criticized in front of a crowd takes guts.

I believe the Miss USA pageant is a great way to encourage women to define themselves. It’s a competition of character, dedication, and strength. You have to be beautiful inside and outside to succeed in life, and these pageant contestants demonstrate how confident everyone should be.
