"Contrary to what Patsy Ramsey said and to some portrayals in the press, the little beauty princess didn’t enjoy the child beauty pageants in which her mother entered her. JonBenet didn’t lust for the competition, nor crave the endless lessons and practice. There were signs that she was growing increasingly apprehensive of her mother’s incessant pressure to compete. Her childhood friend, Lindsey Phillips, while visiting JonBenet, couldn’t help but notice the pageant trophies in JonBenet’s bedroom. “They're not really mine,” JonBenet confided in Lindsey. “They're more my Mom’s trophies.” "
I have posted before about a friend of mine...she was a beautiful girl...that had been in over 200 pageants...and won the all. When she got married, I was over at her house, and didn't see ANY of her MANY, MANY trophies that she had won (which her mother had proudly displayed in the living room)...so I said..."Where are all of your trophies?" She said..."Oh, they are still at my mom's house....they belong to HER anyway". My friend went on to divorce, and to get involved with a drug dealer...because she felt that she was never perfect enough...it screwed her up. They got in a fight, and he shot her in the face and killed her.
