Hey... kalia25 here, with some very worrisome thoughts running through my mind. I recently started to go to the auditorium, where many shows and things like that are held. I noticed that B/C's (beauty contests) were the main events that are held there. So I decided to join a B/C, and I really enjoyed being in it... to a certain point.

While I was in the B/C, I realized all the rude comments going around the room to any people that got a place! Some people would be like "OMG, she is sooo ugly!" Then they would be like, "Ewww, she's a newbie!" You know, the usual rude comments.  This made me quite concerned that people were getting put down like that just because of a stupid little B/C.

Then, when I got 2nd place in a contest, people said the same things, even when it's obvious that I'm not a newbie! All I would say back is, "It's just a B/C, don't be so incredibly immature and don't take it so seriously!" Then of course, a big argument would start.

I realized that these B/C's aren't that fun for some people; actually, they're quite rude sometimes. I was appalled when I saw what people were saying to those that won. It must have made them feel very bad. People were getting judged on how they looked when they got chosen and even if the people that got 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc were absolutely gorgeous, they would still get picked on.

Why do people have to hold a grudge against the people that win something? Why can't they just be happy for the people and make them feel good about themselves, or at least if they can't do that, why can't they just pretend? It's not fair to the people that get all those rude comments.  They should get nice comments and have people congratulating them, but instead, the people tend to act rude to everyone.

Another thing I noticed about B/C's is, if there are newbies in the contest, which there usually are, they'll usually get last place, even if they're prettier than the people that aren't newbies. I don't think that's fair. Newbies are just as good as the rest of us! Why should they get last place if they're prettier than some of the other people that aren't newbies (oldbies or middlebes)? It's like they are being cut out of everything just because they are newbies, and they don't deserve to be treated like that. They deserve to be equal in a B/C just like the rest of us!

My very last concern about the B/C's is that the judges get made fun of because of their opinions sometimes. They don't deserve that!  They are nice enough to be judging a B/C for us, why treat them like that? If the judges pick a pretty newbie 1st before an oldbie, then the judges will get called a newbie, even if it's obvious they're not, and they'll also get called ugly and everything! Even if someone in the B/C doesn't get picked the judge will once again get put down because of their opinion!

It makes me mad the way people get treated in B/C's. It's just not fair to anyone!

Well, that's all I have to say, this is kalia25, flying away to the Milky Way!
