They wear makeup and high heels; they like to strut their stuff and often have quite the attitude. Yes, we're talking about the itty-bitty beauty queens on the TLC hit series Toddlers & Tiaras. We've all seen Toddlers, and the general reaction is to be both amused and concerned. In the latest installment of the "Teens React" series, a group of students responds to the popular TLC show. And more than a couple of jaws drop.

"There is something wrong with this," one male viewers says, while another teen comments on a young beauty queen's outfit: "My mom wouldn't even let me wear that now!" Check out the above video to see teens weigh in on the little girls, the crazy outfits, and the even crazier mothers.

In other hilarious "Teens React" videos, outspoken young movie-goers share their thoughts on the Twilight saga (Go Team Jacob!), and give their two cents on Rick Perry's anti-gay marriage campaign ad.

These teens are funnier (and more clever) than the majority of fake teens portrayed on television, that's for sure.

Children need to be allowed to be children. These little girls are pressed into this by parents to feed their own needs. The teenagers you took comments were right when they said their parents would not let them out the door dressed like that, I would certainly never let my children go out looking like that. It absolutly amazes me that there are so many people that encourage this kind of child abuse. I truly believe that that is what it is, abuse. I have watched a little of this show just a couple of times and it just makes me ill. I wish the show would be discontinued and take away the encouragement it is giving these parents. A Very Concerned Parent, Linda

It's a horror show, watching these innocent kids being used by their parents or, usually their mother, as objects, just to feed the mother's ego. I watch w/ fascination - the kind you have when you see a terrible accident and you want to see how on earth did it happen. I grew up in show business, so I'm watching and comparing... The worst bits are the mothers who say, "Oh she loves this! She lives for this! She wants to do this!" and the kid is one big crying tantrum, throughout the entire time, even while on stage. And then, while on stage the kid has a tantrum, and the mother STILL thinks the kid should get the top prize and doesn't understand why not. Then the mother has a tantrum that the judges were unfair or something. The child is made to feel like a failure, like she failed to please her mother. You see children crying because of the pain of a wig or something and there's NO compassion. One woman had a child ONLY for the purpose of putting her in these pageants. Then they feed them Red Bull...it's child abuse.

The better looking girl is always going to get the better deal than the not so attractive. Just life. Right? no Fair? no but it is just the way it is. In my 50 yrs I have witnessed countless times the smarter female being over looked for the prettier female.

I've heard and read about some of the psychos that participate. Now I know not all of them are, some do it because the kids want to and have fun, but the rest... yeah the rest need to let it go.
