WHy is it that in my school district 7-12 grades when school sports are in session some are considered gay and others arent... for example following the stereotype would mean volleyballm tennis soccer= gay      football, hockey, baseball= straight

my school has the same thing. you see they gay sports are the ones that guys ususally dont pplay a lot, so they call it gay. and the straight ones are the ones that most people watch on TV and the ones that most people play... ♥

I was on my school's varsity team and got player of the year. You would think that I was cocky but I am completely the opposite.  I am always humble and polite. You would think that I was surrounded by girls but I was one of the shyest people at the school. I even wondered how some of the "nerds" were getting girls and I wasn't getting any.  Just remember that just because losers call us cocky bastards and we call losers losers doesn't mean that you guys are losers and were're cocky bastards. We're all the same. We just focused on two different things.

It depends on your school. My high school did that, but not all do. You need to talk to your school's administration.

I buy that.  I teach myself and it is very funny to watch when we have all district meetings.  Each grade teacher behaves the way that their students would.  High school people are very serious and business like.  Elementary school teachers are serious but more touchy feely.  Middle school teachers (like me) screw around and throw things and get off task.

This is the category for special education, this refers to school children who have special educational needs.  \n\nYou would get better answers if you post this question in the Higher Education or Business/Careers  categories.

This may sound whiney, but growing up as the "gay kid" in my school wasnt fun at times.  I remember being made fun of so badly as far back as 5th grade.  Being teased that much as a young child can do some major damage, now I get treated for depression and severe anxiety.  Nice way to treat a kid, huh? lol

I totally agree as long as an equal substitute is available for women. I prefer to play sports with the girls and save other activities for the boys ;0) My man plays on his softball team and I play on mine and when we want to play together we join a co-ed but it would be dumb to try to get on a men only team!@! Hints the name MEN'S TEAM!!!!!! Some women just have "penis envy" Dont hold it agains the rest of us!

Try persuading the ones in charge of your sports to allow girls to play "boy sports". If that fails, go to another school.

The role or lack of role of the lesbian in women's sports and the male homosexual in dancing has been a debatable issue for quite some time.  At one time it was practical considered a 'sure thing' that any male dancer or any female involved in professional sports was 'q u e e r,' and in those less enlightened times, subject and worthy of scorn.  Since Title IX passed in 1972 and vastly impacted women's sports and other college scholarships and equitable distribution of activities funds in high school in particular are now legislated, the number of women active in athletics has multiplied nine or tenfold.  Worrying about 'homosexuality' of female athletes is far less a consideration than it once was as sports for girls is no longer thought of as 'manly' and unfeminine and unworthy of a real lady's time.  Now the only consideration is how many small minds still worry about such things.

i totally agree with you on that.... there will never be gender equality... although iwould like to think there will be.... there are things that keep taht from happening.... like gurls are allowed to play foot ball because of girls wanting to do it.... but guys cant be on gurls teams cuz men are naturally stronger than women... so its  not fair.  but i think that if guys areant allowed to be on gurls teams then they should make football and wrestling for gurls and gymnastics and what not for men... like how they are finally getting most schools to have most sports available for both sexes... i think it should have been along time ago but people are so stuck in teh past that women are very differant and are basically nothing that there is always gunna be some one that is like no... that shouldnt be because its not natural or whatever.... just like racists will always be around and so will sexists and all that... its something that we iwll just have to learn to deal with by making a diffreance and putting an effort at getting a mens gymnastics team or whatever in their school and getting gurls into football and making it ok for a guy to be on cheerleading if he wants to instead of being called gay or whtever cuz thats what he wants to do... its time for everyone to grow up mentally and realize that everyone deserves all the same rights.... and everyone should serve teh same sentance if they commit the same crime and what not.... so yeah.. .i totally agree with you!! and sorry so long... kinda blowing off steam too.. but oh well.. its true.. our nation should grow up and get over it....

I do think alot of people think it is a guys game....I went to football tryouts in school and chose not to play. I just wanted to make a point...that girls can play if they really want.(and i am a small girl)

If there is no girls team, then they should be able to go on the boys team. That wouldn't be fair if there was just a boys basketball team.\n\nMost schools have boys and girls basketball, baseball (boys and softball (girls), and volleyball is typically a girls sport in school, but boys should be able to play it too.\n\nLacrosse is separated, as well as other sports. And I know that they never let men join our gymnastics team ,which was so stupid! On our football team, they HAD to let the girls join even if  they were bad. That I thought was dumb, because I would hate to be put on a team without knowing I earned it...\n\nIf there is no girls, they should be able to join the boys, otherwise they need to make a girls and boys team.\n\nPeace!

When boy/girl or man/women are in classes together there could be less attention to the books! As opposed to male/female classes there is more attention to details of study!\n\nSuggest putting words relating to your question at "google" and there you will get 1000,s of answers, to narrow down to exactly what you need just keep adding or rewording entry...\n\nGood Luck!

Dudes at school make it a big deal because it is weird.  But if you're cool with it who cares?  I wouldn't expect any compliments in the locker room though.  And if you do get one... watch out.

I started playing a little bit around fifth grade, but this year I'm taking the class in high school and I'm on the school team. It's really fun and rewarding... Ever since I started playing more this year, I've gotten a lot more excercise and made a lot more friends! I especially like how it's not a contact sport. And you can play singles or doubles. I like doubles, but only if I like my doubles partner :)

Why is this just singled out to football players?.. There are alot more sports than that.  They all do the same thing. You kinda sound like a homo in the making.

SOCCER = 100% PURE GAYNESS & NO TALENT REQUIRED\n\nSoccer is mainly a girls sport.  Anybody can kick a ball down a field.  Not everyone can hit a homerun or pitch a 100 mph fastball or kick a 50 yard field goal.  Plus, look at how gayly huge the goal is.  It is gigantic.\n\nHow can you possibly miss a goal that big???\nAny yet even the "professional" people miss it all the time.\nI think that's hilarious.
