    Being a jezabelle is a good start. Pretty is essential too. Don’t worry about any formal education. As long as you can spell the school name you are set.

    Wait until your 20th high school reunion. You’ll get cold revenge in that all the cheerleaders will look like they’ve been around the block a thousand times too many, and will be on their third marriages and wearing elastic-waist pants.

    Big boobs. Football player boyfriend. IQ below 100.

    No seriously, I guess you have to have some kind of gymnastic ability. I wouldn’t know. I was a band geek.

    totally depends on your school. In my high school cheering was super serious, and was really athletic. They brought home more trophies than all the other sports, and they weren’t clique-ish or mean to other students.

    You just needed to the drive to do it, and if you were coming into it in HS you needed experience

    Being in great shape would be a good start, so you can do all those dances, and you would have to be pretty, because people can be shallow, and wont choose you if your not pretty.

    Generally you have to have a background in gymnastics or dance.

    After five years as one I still have a brain- I even went to grad school after.

    Added: When I was one a long time ago, we got wear clothes to perform.

    No lobotomy. Athletic ability and a slim build.

    Gymnastics and dance, and an outgoing personality would help.

    No, you don’t need a lobotomy, dear. Tacit within your question that any damage to your neurologic substrate is more than enough. You’re well beyond anything that a frontal lobotomy can achieve. In fact, you probably won’t qualify with the degree of damage you’ve already sustained.

    There needs to be something inherently humorous about a hot cheerleader and you clearly don’t have the humour to be one.

    When I was in high school over 30 years ago, the only requirement was to be popular. You didn’t have to be athletic or look particularly good. You just had to be someone everybody liked and wanted to be friends with.

    ….I had a good friend who was the cheerleading captain for 4 years…she was very smart….the rest of her crew…not so much.

    It’s a fun activity if you’re into it… it’s better than sitting on the couch getting fat and out of shape :p But don’t make it life..that’s creepy.
