[quote=Anonymous]My daughter(15) is on the varsity cheerleading team at her high school. There are 12 seniors on her squad and only 4 lower class girls. My daughter does not fit the typical cheerleader stereotype. She does not enjoy going to parities, is not into drama/boys and is not very fashionable(jeans, tshirt kind of girl)

The senior girls on the squad are bullying her to the point my daughter no longer smiles. They drop her on purpose from stunts to see if she will cry. They force her to say swear words since she doesn't like to cuss, they tell her they lost a competition because of her ugly face, they tell her since her boyfriend doesn't have sex with her he doesn't love her. The list is endless. She says the younger girls on the squad do not join in on the bullying but are to afraid to say anything .

I spoke with the coach and she said that my daughter is too sensitive and is very shy. She said that if my daughter would stop crying, they wouldn't pick on her. She told me how she likes for the girls to work things out themselves and she always stops it if she thinks it's gone too far. From my perceptive the coach likes to be buddy buddy with these older girls and they basically run the show.

My daughter says she won't quit because then she won't get a scholarship. She wants to cheer in college and is actually very good. She says if I go to the principal, it will make it much worse and that they already were saying mean things from my conversation with the coach. I am at a loss. My husband and I feel helpless seeing her come home from practice and go straight to her room to cry. I just want her to quit and be done with it. [/quote]
