Oh ive seen a terible programme about gymnastics, this girl she was only about 8 she used to train for hours a day, she had to have a special diet - most adults would struggle with, i just dont think its any good on their little growing bodies, the instructors would push them so hard they would often be in pain and in tears, but still they kept on pushing. i think when it becomes an obsession it has gone too far, no child should be made to do something that hurts them or makes them tired, my heart went out to those kids!!!!
another thing i really hate is these bloody horrible american beauty pagaents, i think they are gross and portray the wrong image for young girls - but scarily its only a matter of time before thye come over here
