Question by Jessy: Should I try out for cheerleading or wait and see what happens next year?
I’m in seventh grade, and I’m twelve. Wow, I’ve repeated that so many times on here. Anyway, cheerleading tryouts are coming up pretty soon. This week, actually. I’ve never been the type to want to try out. I never thought I would. My mom was a cheerleader long ago, so she’d really approve. I’d really like to do it, too! The only thing is, I don’t know what my friends would think. Now, I’m not the type to worry about what others think or really care, but all of my best friends think that cheerleaders are just annoying girls who scream and are stupid preps. It just doesn’t seem like me! Should I just go for it, even though I have no clue what I have to do at tryouts? Or should I ask anyone else if they’re trying out, too? If anyone has ever done cheerleading, what do you have to do in order to try out?
My friends don’t either.
They get so stuck up when it comes to what they call “preps”.

I say go for it! When I tried out when I was your age, we had to do three different types of jumps, a cheer with a group of about three other girls, and then a cheer by yourself. Im not sure how it is with your school though. Good luck if you decide to try out!!

you should try out.
You’re still young, hunny, so you’re still developing ideas about what you think. You’re still forming your own personality. So if its something that you’re really interested in, you should go for. Talk to your mom and tell her that you want to go for it but you’re unsure about how to present yourself at tryouts. If she’s been a cheerleader, she could give you a good idea on how to begin coming up with a routine. No matter what your friends’ preconceived ideas about cheerleaders are, they should know that you don’t fall into that category. Real friends will support you in any positive thing you do that will make you happy.
Speak to the teacher in charge of facilitating the cheerleader try outs ask questions about the cheerleading and what it’s plus and minus are if you are comfortable with the answers you get go for it and sign up to try out you have to go through cheerleading camp ask a former cheerleader too that all ready been a chearleader at the school
Cheerleaders bring out the school spirit that why they scream and chant
don’t matter. if they don’t like the way you want to be get new friends.
P.S. i want to be a cheerleader but my friends don”t know i want to and they don’t like em ethier
Go for it .if your friends are real friends then the should cheer you on and not care for what you want to do with your life. Do what you want to do before you have to actually grow up. I am 12 to so if I were your friend I wouldn’t care as long as you are happy and safe.
Do what you feel is right. Your friends might think cheerleaders are preps, but when you become one they might have second thoughts. You can’t judge a person without getting to know them better first.
girl, shoot for it. heck yeah man. do it. cheerleaders arent like that. hey, if your not like that then hey youll be a cheerleader who aint stuck up right? well, man i was a cheerleader in the 7th too. it was so much fun, going to all the games and the lil memories youll have, ha. its fun have a good time. y not? your young so hav fun. do all ya can that you can handle. find someone else who is trying out so yall can practice the lil moves you need to know ok. be loud and smile. stretch reall good too.
You should try out!!
Do something new, and tell your friends that if they are your TRUE friends they will support you in whatever you choose to do. While you are at it, prove them wrong and show them that cheerleaders aren’t just annoying girls who scream and are stupid preps =). They have to learn new routines, be strong, get critized, be good dancers and Have nice smiles and a loud voice !!
just try out..ask your mom what she did when she tried out for it..
it dosnt matter if your freinds think your going to be a stuck up bitchh
i mightt be a cheerleader next year in highschool..cuase i want to..
but one of my freinds was like..if you are, dont be a stuck up bitchh like some girls..
but you can still be one and not be stuck up..
and if you loose your freinds ..then it dosnt matter cause you;ll get more freinds by being a cheerleader..
hey umm im 13 and ive been a cheerleader since i was six and i dont consider myself as a prep. i think you should go for it and if you dont like it stop going to try outs because if you dont like in the first couple of days youll never like
good question im 13 and in 8th grade my most of my freinds are cheerleaders and there to preppy but i want to try out and show them i could make it im a girl but i played football on the boys team for 5 years i loved it but my freinds that arent cheerleaders think there to preppy but this is how i look at it u dont have to be a boy to play football so you DONT have to be preppy and stuck up to be a cheerleader. my mom is the cheer couch at my shcool and iasked her the same question cause i didnt want to loose my freinds she said if u want to try tryout and try your hardest and if your freinds dont like u cause u want to try somethin new there not much of a freind.
im in the same position but i decided to try it whats the worst that could happen
go for it!!!who cares what they say? if they are really your friends theyll be supportive!!!! try out…what the heck!!!go for it!!!
I think you should hang out with one of the present cheerleaders… Don’t care what your friends think…as I was saying, by hanging out with them maybe they could help you out and let you know what you have to do at tryouts!!! Don’t do anything that you don’t really want to do!!! Don’t not do anything you want to do just because of your friends’ opinion…
