those who are truly wicked and are deserving of retribution through the actions of fate. No, cruelty goes way deeper and is much more dark and sadistic. Animal cruelty, that thirty-two dollar lipstick that you splurged on at Sephora, or that "firm" hairspray that you got from Walmart have most likely been tested on a poor defenseless animal.

On May 31, I sit on a cheap and uncomfortable chair, straining my neck painfully in hopes of seeing a glimpse of my only brother in his high school graduation gown. I see the blur of a couple hundred teenagers talking excitedly and patting their hairspray-drenched hair. My mother looks at me sadly. “Our little boy is leaving the nest.

How would you feel if you were just a small child being told you aren’t beautiful naturally? Would you enjoy being made up with fake teeth, better known as flippers in the pageant world, fake hair, fake tan, plastered in makeup, and even fake nails?

Would you have fun with your mother, father, coach, and other relatives putting constant pressure on you to be the best, to be…

The lights were blinding; the crowd was waiting anxiously; I sat timidly, while my heart raced like a racehorse at the Kentucky Derby. I arrived in Dallas, Texas, on a chilly February morning. Almost an inch of fading snow, drifted to the ground and the whole city was in panic.
