Dance Mom's

I've recently gotten very into a show called Dance Mom's, it is a show about these little girls who are trained for beauty pageants by this large miserable woman who treats the girls like they are 25 years old instead of 6 years old. Although this woman is terribly mean to these young girls the mothers do nothing about it and continue to let their children be treated like prisoners. I find this show interesting because these little 6 years old are taught very provocative dances where they look very inappropriate for their ages. I know that it is wrong of myself to be watching the show, but I watch it almost because I feel sorry for these little girls. This show teaches people that it is okay for their young children to be acting slutty and that its okay for parents to force their kids into these pageants and dance classes, even when it is obvious that these girls are completely uninterested and very upset by how their teacher treats them. She tells them that they "suck" and that they won't do anything with their lives if they don't do every dance step correctly. It is sickening that this show is even on television because it gives America an image that is disgusting and cruel. That is what entertainment has come to now a days on TV. As we saw in class last Thursday when we watched Real Housewives, people like to see other people upset and act ridiculous. I, myself watch the show because it breaks my heart and I feel for these young girls and I find myself talking with my friends during the show judging the dance teacher and the horrible mothers. It is strange what is now considered entertainment in our world and I find myself repulsed as well as intrigued by these heart wrenching shows. It makes me scared for what might come out next as a big TV series.
