I think that you should sit down with your Dad and have a heart to heart talk. Explain to him that this is your passion. Tell him that you will be willing to work for the money that is spent on cheer leading. Tell him that you understand how expensive cheer leading is and you want to help him out. Tell him that you can do odd jobs around the house or you can do work around your neighborhood. Let him know that you are doing well in school and that you need to be involved in a positive and fun school activity. You could also write sponsor letters to family and or friends to help you out. I hope everything works out for you.

Unfortunately, it is a testament to my crazy youth...\n\n"Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Animation Show" in Boulder several years ago...\n\nCrowd of 200+...\n\nI was called on stage to flash everyone and recieve a prize...\n\nEnded up talking to everyone via mic for 10 minutes about boobs...good subject though, everyone listened! LOL!!!

okay, so I'm a bit confused.  You are just on a cheerleading all star team, not for a school, right?  Squad is called Cheer Invasion, and a team called Senior Silver. That is where I get confused.  You need to say the cheer that you come out to so we can get an idea of where you would want the wording...\nsorry!

why can't you do both, then you would be ahead of the competition once you get to high school. You have some time, don't get stressed about it when it only your 7th grade year. RELAX and think it through, make a pro con list for each. Maybe you could talk to a high school cheerleader or a coach and ask them.

Girl your body is your body. There will be men that will love it and men that may have a problem with it. Yah there are surgical procedures that will help that, like trimming it. If you feel that strongly about it then you should have a heart to heart talk with your mom. You dont want to cut them yourself girl. lol. That could do lots of damage. Just keep them tucked in or something. wear panties that will hold them in when you are doing cheer. And just no matter what have confidence. If some bitch says "damn you got some fat pussy" to you when you are in a cheer outfit, just be like "and???? I know I got a badass body!". \nWe are made how we are made and if you dont have the money to change it then just do what you can to take care of yourself and enjoy your life. If people got a problem then fuck em, they aint worth your time. Beauty is seen differently by everyone.

Okay, I was a cheerleader.  My squad wasn't great, but I have a little bit of experience.  First off, try this website http://www.mspineapple.com/tryouts.html .\n\nStretch for the splits.  Go as far down into the splits position as you can and sit there for a minute or two.  Repeat for each type of splits.  Also, do straddle stretches (where you sit with your legs apart and bend down.  Try to touch your stomach to the floor.\n\nPractice jumps.  Toe-touches, herkies, hurdlers, etc.  I think hurdlers are easier than toe-touches, but that's me.\n\nUm, about memorizing dances: practice.  If you can get whatever song it is you're supposed to dance to, practice at home.  All you can do is practice.  I stink at memorizing dances, but I got it down as long as I practised.\n\nAnd, to mellogirl89: I don't appreciate your comments.  Yes, many cheerleaders are obnoxious, but my entirew squad wasn't and I'm not.  And I'm not just saying that.  People are always surprised when I say that I was a cheerleader.

I coach a midget league cheer squad and applaud you for taking on this task.  \n\nFirst of all, you must get these little girls respect.  I do this by calling 3 to 4 practices per week with a 2-1/2 hour practice time frame.  With drink and restroom breaks, and the occassional talking etc, 2 -1/2 hours is not a very long time. Since we were cheering for the football team, our practices began August 1 and continued throughout the football season.  We practiced from 6:00pm-8:30pm until it began to get dark (then we moved it up one hour).  Another coach in our area does 5 days a week with 2 hours per practice.  Either way, the girls get about 10 hours of practice.\n\nRemember that respect is earned.  Don't expect these youngsters to do something that you aren't willing to do.  My girls and I begin our practice by running a complete lap of the football field and stopping to stretch.  Be sure to stretch the major muscle groups (like you did as a cheerleader).  After the stretch is complete, another lap....and that means everyone including the coach.\n\nAfter a quick drink, it will be time to learn and perfect the cheers and chants.  You didn't say whether these little ones had had any prior experience, and some may not have....so everyone should be patient while all of the girls catch on.\n\nBe sure that all of the girls know the basic cheer motions:  Hi-v, lo-v, T, half T, hi-touchdown, lo-touchdown, diagnals, candlesticks, buckets, etc.  I usually do these to Simon Says.  The girls love the game and it makes them learn to shap the movements sharply.\n\nthere are several sites that give cheers/chants etc.   But, we find it best to make them up on our own....or at least tailor the canned cheers to fit our team.\n\nAs for stunts, be sure that you are qualified to teach these little ones the proper methods for bases, flyers and spotters.  There are videos that you can buy that will teach you how to teach them how to do stunts correctly.\n\nJumps....this is an intrigal part of the cheer squad.  Work on Starting position and lift....we use a trampolline once a week to give the girls a little extra confidence.  Don't forget that most jumps rely on dexterity and muscle tone.  \n\nYou are the coach....you are not there to be miss goody two shoes.  If you see something that is not right, stop everyone and call attention to it.   Demand perfection....demand the best!  Let them know that you are being hard on them for their sake, and remember to praise them when they do well! You will not only get their best effort but their respect.\n\nWe end every practice with gymnastics.  We focus on cartwheels, roundoffs, back handsprings, and back- walkovers.  Again, be sure that you have the support you need to track these girls...and don't let them attempt something that they have not done.\n\nMost of all, have a good time....and good luck!

Do you want to try out? why are you not comfortable...with the trying out or being a cheerleader in general. If she wants you to try out, maybe it's cuz they think you  have what it takes, if they dont know you well, maybe it's some kind of joke?? If your not comfortable, dont do it. Only you know what's best.

Be yourself.\nDon't worry about saying no to guys they will get over it.\nFind outside interests that you like.\nAre you a senior in high school?\nDon't listen to the rumors.\n\nI would also concentrate on school if you're planning to go on to college. If you do go to college what you did like \nbeing a cheerleader will be a part of your past so don't\nworry so much. Can you talk to a school counselor or advisor or trusted adult? If you can I would see what their advice would be.\nGood luck with whatever you decide!

YES, YES, BROOKE, OF COURSE YOU CAN. Don't let these people get you down, who, more  than likely have never done cheerleading in their life! Varsity requires many stunts such as back handsprings, do not despair, JV does not require it. In some schools, maybe, but not normally.\n\nPractice really hard and don't give up! Have fun!

Oh that's horrible about the principal. \nHmm...\n\nOk, If I were you, I would have bake sales and pizza sales every day after school at my school. At my school, they buy Dominoes Pizza, and cut the slices in half, then sell them for a $1.00!!! It's an outrageous price, but people still buy it. Some people even buy it by the box! \n\nAlso, in the morning at out school they sell french breakfast, liek donuts, eclairs, bagels, and other stuff. I think it is a very effective and good plan. If you can think of anything else that might work, go for it! After all this is a PROM!\n\nOh yah, don't stress out.\nIt'll all work out.\n\nRelax, you'll be fine.

I was a cheerleader in high school. I'm not trying to sound self-absorbed or anything, but I don't think I was stuck up at all. I enjoyed the sport, and I got along with everyone, even though a lot of girls didn't like me, but I was okay with that.

I have two teen daughters in cheerleading and have had many banquets to attend (I'm 39).  The best thing to wear is jeans, you can dress up jeans very easily.  Your not to old to wear a  cammi with something over it, maybe a jean jacket.  As far the the person who said "son cheerleading", he is one of the smart guys.  He gets to be friends with all of the cheerleaders...
