Innocent Faces, Twisted Minds

SREYASHI DEY
CLASS 12 SECTION C


In Russia lives a nine-year-old girl called Kristina Pimenova who has been
labelled 'the youngest supermodel' and 'the most beautiful girl in the
world'. She is the daughter of model Glikeriya Pimenova and Russian
footballer Ruslan Pimenov. With long honey-blonde hair, sparkling blue eyes
and a pretty face, Kristina’s appearance is indeed stunning.

Having inherited almost-perfect genes which make her so pretty,
she has been modelling since the age of three. She has already been the
face of major companies like Armani, Benetton, Roberto Cavalli, Vogue, and
many more. Kristina is also a rhythmic gymnast.

Kristina’s mother regularly posts pictures of Kristina on various social
networking sites – Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Most of these snaps are candid pictures, taken all throughout the day, displaying her various moods and her various attires. Now, some of these photos have become the source of immense criticism, with people accusing her of exposing her sexuality
and describing her poses as ‘adult’. Her pictures have been subject to
comments such as ‘babe’ and ‘long legs’.

Yes, she has pictures with her legs exposed, but what is so wrong in that?
This is what the world has become now where a little girl is being subject
to such crude criticism. She does not even post her pictures herself.
Mentalities of people have become so crooked these days that they accuse a
girl, who is not even pubescent, of sexualising herself.

Paedophilia is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent
is attracted to prepubescent children, generally of eleven years of age, or
younger. However, the percentage of occurrence of this disorder is quite
low. Yet, now it seems that the whole world is being induced with
paedophilia, otherwise, why would a little girl be subject to such remarks?

Thankfully, Kristina does not get to see these remarks as her mother manages
her social networking accounts. Her mother defends her and has remarked: “I
think any criticism about it is the fruit of a sick imagination. I think
people who post something like this have serious psychological problems.”
Kristina’s mother is right, of course.

When Kristina is blessed with such beauty, it is normal that her mother
would want to showcase it. The world is full of paedophiles. People cannot
stand beauty in others. As soon as these paedophiles see Kristina’s pictures
they start ogling them. Ogling a nine-year-old’s photograph! Twisted human
psychology knows no bounds.

Now, imagine Kristina reading these comments. Will she ever want to wear
shorts again? Would she ever want to take photographs of herself? She will
want to stop showcasing her beauty, maybe even stop modelling. As a result,
her life will be torn down. Hence we can imagine how this criticism can
destroy her. Why would one want to destroy a little girl? The answer –
people are jealous of beauty in others. They are paedophiles and haters.

Some have also criticised Kristina’s life saying that being enrolled in the
glam world from a very young age, she does not get to lead a normal, down
to earth life. This accusation is false though since she leads a very
normal life, having only three to four photo sessions a month. Those days
are like a holiday for her and she really enjoys herself.  Some have
commented that maybe her mother got her into modelling simply to make money
for herself. At this Kristina’s mother said, “I am here to tell you that we
have enough money, that Kristina has a happy childhood - and that I have an
honours degree from a university, so I don't think these accusations stick.'

This criticism has to stop, and now. Kristina is a very young, beautiful
little girl doing something she enjoys. There are always haters who do
nothing better than try and tear down other people's lives. However, this is just
wrong. This little girl does not deserve the criticism that she gets simply
for being extremely pretty, getting her photographs clicked and having a career in modelling at such a young age. These paedophiles should wipe their brains clean so that
all these all these spots of meanness and crudeness are washed away.
