FLASHING AND flaunting bods for prizes and cash and clout was the issue among Back Talk callers this week who answered the question: ``Would you enter a best body on the beach contest?''
While some said they wouldn't mind showing off their God-given parts, others said no way. Here are some of the responses:
``Personally, I would. I think it's great. If you have the body, go for it.''
Robin Wood, 15, rising freshman at Tallwood High School
``I think you should enter because you should flaunt what God gave you. Why not?''
Jenell Jennings, 16, rising sophomore at Norview High School
``I wouldn't. I think it's degrading to somebody. But if my friends were to enter, I'd support them all the way.''
Christine Keller, 14, rising sophomore at Kellam High School
``No I do not think that I would enter a beach body contest because it's degrading to myself and everything I stand for. It's also degrading to other people, men and women.''
Jennifer Glenn, 13, rising eighth grader at Landstown Middle School by CNB
