[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I would want to talk to her about how she feels about being on a team whose main purpose is to cheer and support others[/b], usually boys. I would try to steer her toward gymnastics or acrobatics. But I would not forbid it.[/quote] +100 [/quote] This. I was a cheerleader and I hate admitting it. I really hope DD doesn't want to. Long distance family members have daughters that are into competition cheering, but it's not in support of an athletic team. They just go to competitions and do their routines. It seems sort of odd to me, but mostly it's the "uniforms" that would really bother me. They're super tight spandex, high cropped tops with tight spandex skirts, and all the girls wear a ton of make-up with their hair pulled back and enormous bows on their heads. The girls are around age 12 or so. NO WAY would I let me daughter wear that stuff. The clothing is basically designed to be sexy, and then the bow on top seems like some sort of weird "little girl" addition ... creepy.[/quote]
