Should I Quit Cheerleading??

Question

Reasons Why I Should Quit:

1. I don't like doing cheers over and over. I know them and they get boring.

2. I am bad at cartwheels and handstands. I cannot do flips or back bends.

3. I want to be lifted, but I am scared of heights. (REALLY really really scared!)

I would try to get over the fear, but I am too fat to be lifted by kids. If the coaches pick me up, it would be too scary.

4. I sit alone a lot because I can't do half of the things.

I get lonely/bored when I sit and I get embarrassed that I can't do things.

Why I Shouldn't Quit:

I want to be a cheerleader!!

I am the best at splits!

Should I Quit? or should I try (and how?!?)

Please & Thank You!!!

I'm a jv cheerleader in high school and i personally love it and their many many things i am not god at either. and I'm new at the school. so i say go for it if you love cheer leading alot. if you like competition and peps and such then go for it . and if you like it and your seriously hating it and being completely miserable well then that's up to you.make some friends talk to people.and if you feel embarrassed for any reason or worry about what people think of you. well don't who cares what they say just be your self and enjoy it.

p.s I'm also a flier to. yes its scary but don't think about it have fun. your friends will be their with you and they will make sure nothing bad happens to you

i think you should keep going for at lest another month .

cause you might find that you get better at it an start enjoying it more plus it will be great fitness for you so you will get lighter. an if you really wont you could start eating healthyer food so you will get even lighter plus it will give you more energy you would be amazed at what changing your dite can do. their are lots of websites you can go on about eating healthyer if your not sure what to eat. an if you already eat healthy you could alway do a bit of ligh exercise like going for a walk.

Answer 5

you should listen to your gut but from what you just said, yes you should quit. not because of your ability or lack of ability [you can always work on that] but because you said your bored when you do cheers and that is the main part of cheerleading. and you said you want to be a cheerleader, not you like being a cheerleader, are you only doing it so you can be popular?  or only because you like the uniforms?,

but listen to your gut. you know yourself way better than i do. i am just a person trying to help you on the computer lol

if you do decide to quit, find a sport you enjoy. maybe volleyball, soccer, basketball, softball, or swimming?

just listen to your heart.

Answer 6

well you said your bored so yes u should.

Answer 7

If you really and truly love cheerleading, don't quit, stick with it.  You may not be able to do everything you want to do right now, but if you keep practicing you will get better and before you know it you'll be able to do all the things you complain about now.  You will never get better or know what you're capable of doing if you give up.  If it helps ask your cheermates to help you.  You're a team, they should be willing to help you out.  Besides all together you guys are all responsible for making your squad look and perform well.  Allow your passion and desire and to cheerlead drive and push you to do better and learn.  Look at all the olympions for example right now on the olympics.  I'm sure they didn't get there overnight.  It look practice!  And they probably made a lot of mistakes in the beginning too.  But now look at them.  Maybe you should look at cheerleading the same way.  Good luck to you!

Answer 8

yeah, you should quit, the splits mean f*ck all

Answer 9

Quit, you are obviously just in it for the attention and popularity, find a sport you love. Cheerleading isnt right for you.

Answer 10
