[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you know the Dubya Bush was a cheerleader and he went on to become the president of the United States of America.[/quote]

wait! was it Nixon? I just might google and verify.[/quote]

definitely not points in cheerleadings' favor ;P

Eh, my mom was so upset when I came home and said I wanted to be a cheerleader in 4th grade, but she kept that shit to myself because she liked to let me decide on activities.  I did it for several years and really enjoyed it.  Only did half a season in HS because I wanted to do marching band instead.

My child has brought it up, but she has so many other activities and I truly do not want to give up THAT much more time.  She's doing ballet, which is much more active than the sideline cheerleading for peewee leagues that I did (and she wants to do).

Several of her friends are into the competitive stuff, which I said absolutely not to.  That's a lifestyle.[/quote]

Not to derail this thread, but do you really find ballet more active than sideline cheering?  My daughter does ballet and it does not seem very active at all. I've been thinking about suggesting cheering because it seems like much better exercise.  I have encouraged soccer and more traditional sports in the past, but she is only interested in the girly stuff. [/quote]
