Please help me clear my niece’s name. She is currently Miss South Carolina Outstanding Teen and her first name happens to be Lauren as well. She's getting a lot of negative feedback regarding the "other" Miss SC Teen USA which is not affiliated with the Miss America Organization - there is a BIG difference. You should grab her on-stage interview question where she recently competed in the Miss America Outstanding Teen and aced her question. The Teen USA pageant is based more on beauty (leave it to Donald Trump) where America Teen is based on academics, COMMUNITY SERVICE, public speaking, mentoring etc. It is horrible that these Miss America Teens work so hard for their states and now all pageants and all title holders are seeing one clip from this Miss Teen USA pageant. My niece had the highest GPA (4.6) of all contestants and received a scholarship at the Miss America Outstanding Teen pageant a few weeks ago. America Organization gives scholarships to teenagers and it isn't about the grand prizes awarded. Please help my niece, Lauren Lytle - Miss South Carolina Outstanding Teen clear her name and let people know that she's not the same person as Miss South Carolina USA Teen! Everyone is getting this confused and it is negative publicity for my niece.
