hi hub pages i got a big problom. you see i've been wanting to be in a pageant for a long time. my mom said no well how do i get my mind off of pageants. thats all i think about now pageants please give me an anser. if you do thank you
Hi Kyana. I had the same problem. At first I would enter school pageants, my mother was uncomfortable because of the swimsuit competition. I would wear less reveling swimwear, this woud placad her some.
I started entering pagents that offered college scholorships as rewards. This was also helpful. The thing is to explain calmly to your mom the benifits of a pageant besides the obvious. If she still refuses, you should try for the cheerleading squad, flag corp or any number of school activities to show her how mature you are. Good luck.

Find out why your mom says no. Explain to her that this is your dream. Ask her why she would want to prevent you from pursuing your dream. Ask her if her dreams were ever discouraged and how that made her feel. I think you can convice her, if you don't let your emotions overcome what I think are valid arguments. Good luck hun!
I always wanted to be in a pageant too, but my mum said grow up and have a shave you lousy lay about!!
this (and the Duggars) is exactly why the TLC channel should go off the air immediately!

Is Miss. America pageant only for white Americans?When an Indian American wins the spelling bee, nobody minds but when an Indian American wins Miss. America, people make racist comments! Why?

If anyone can explain this, I would be grateful. I just published my 9th hub and almost all of my hubs start off with 50.My newest hub got a score of 52 just ten seconds after I published it. I was under the impression that everyone's hubs start out at 50, but I was obviously wrong.I know most...
