Answer 1

Talk to her about your problem - explain that being yelled at isn't helping your performance, it's just affecting your self-esteem. Tell her that you like her, but her bahaviour makes you feel as if she somehow hates you. Explain that if she gave constructive criticism, she'd get a much better performance out of you.

Answer 2

first of all, it is totally acceptable for you to be frustrated with the situation. I was a competitive cheerleader for many years and I cna tell you right now that I would not have tolerated a coach yelling at me and putting me down. You might should talk to her supervisor about the situation, and if that does not fix it, I would probably quit the team, in my opinion, its not worth it to be a part of something like that!

I actually ended up quiting my squad because the other cheerleaders would be really rude to me, and a few other girls, and the coach would not put a stop to it. I tryed to tell them that they couldn't talk to me the way they were, but that didnt work, so I quit the squad.

I hate getting yelled at too but remember, it'll help you in the long run. By yelling at you, she's trying to get you tougher so you don't cry or just shrivel up when faced with a temper mental person maybe. If you love cheer-leading more than you hate getting yelled at, you'll know which choice you'll make. And you might want to go to the principal (if it's at your school) or your parents
