I am 21 Female. I have never done anything in my life like sports, much excercise and I have suffered from Depression and ADHD my entire life. My sleep pattern is extremely different every night. I am most active between the hours of 6:00pm-3:00am mostly from 9:00pm-2:00am
Here is my delema: I have so much I want to do in life but I have NO energy whatsoever. I have tried just about everything. Exercising, eating right, energy drinks and supplements, depression pills, etc. Nothing works. I have no motivation except for maybe 2 hours a week. I have so many passions in life and I desperately wish I had the ability to be an over-achiever. I am sucky at socializing, I get stressed way easy and I am a total cry-baby. Everything makes me sad. It doesnt take much. I am seriously pathetic and I just dont want to be like this anymore. How can I control my emotions and body so that I am motivated and energetic during day hours. I am sick of feeling weak, tired and in pain 24/7. I have been to doctors and therapists and they dont help. What should I be telling them? What kind of treatments are out there? Would hypnosis work? What if I cant be Hypnotised. I am seriously scaring myself with the thoughts that come into my head cuz I'm such a failure. PLEASE HELP!!! PLEASE!!! No rude or obvious comments please.
Okay well as far as energy goes, just try to fix your sleep pattern. It will take a while and it will get worse before it gets better, but that's a sure way to insure your getting enough sleep. Try to stay away from caffines because those trick the body into thinking its awake. Just try to go the natural route. Yoga or any exercise that gets the blood flowing in the morning wakes me up. I like yoga because it isn't to streneous or tiring. In the end I think just a balanced healthy diet, exercise and a set normal sleep pattern will do the trick. Its not gonna work right away and its gonna be hard but you have just got to stick it out untill it gets better. In the long run you will be much healthier. Going the natural route is better then taking supplements or any type of false energy.
I also honeslty think your mind set has a large role to play in everything. Just through reading this I can tell you are very harsh on your self and I don't think you give yourself much credit or praise. It might sound cheesy and cliche but honestly a positive outlook on yourself and your life can make all the difference. Stop doubting yourself, stop hating your self, stop telling yourself negative things. Self loathing does nothing. You need to do this on your own and find a way to love yourself for who you are. And your not always gonna want to, but I think you will find everything goes easier with a better mindset. A sense of humor also helps. Laughing is the best stress reliever there is.
I know you can't help the fact that you have depression and sometimes you probably feel hopeless and like your trapt in your own body. Through dealing with my own depression I have found medication works the best for me. The only trick is to not stop taking it. Because after a while of taking it I feel that I don't need it anymore because I feel great and then next thing I know I'm back at square one. Idk your history with meds, but I would definetly look into one. Just talk to your doctor. That and nature are my tricks to staying happy :)
In the end their is no quick and easy treatment that's gonna make everything better. Your going to have to work hard and keep with it. But in the end the things we worked hardest for are often the best.
Good luck with everything and I hope you find happiness :)
This may be a bit long, Bare with me.
As long as I could remember I've always had trouble showing emotions, When someone gives me a gift I don't really know how to show appreciation or say thank you in a way I appreciate it. When someone hurts themselves, I have this nasty tendency to laugh...not because I think it's funny but I don't know how to react. If someone greets me with a hello..I act awkward and smile and say "Hi" under my breath which most of the time you can't even hear it. In a crowded area, I'm always the one to sit nearest to the door looking for a way out and I would prefer not to talk to people and I have friends but most of the time I don't really feel like seeing them instead I'd rather just do my own thing and talk over the computer or through text messages. I don't know what is wrong with me, I have social anxiety and I have depression but I'm on medication for it and I feel great! but I still don't know why I act this way...Sometimes I question myself if I have some sort of autism but I'm not sure of the signs or symptoms. Can anyone explain to me what they think? (Preferably people who actually know what they are talking about...)
thank you
I don't think that I would go as far as to say that you have autism mainly because you recognize all your weird social patterns. I would just say your socially awkward. From what you say it seems like this has been something that you have been struggling with your entire life. Well old habbits die hard. The anti depressents you are on are just going to regulate your moods. There not going to magically make you into a whole new person socially. This is something you are going to have to do on your own. There is no medication tthat a doctor can give you to make you speak up and say hello in a peppy manner. That is something that you have to hold yourself accountable for. Your going to ultimatley have to go out of your comfort zone if you want to see changes. Its going to be awkward as fuck at times, but that sums up life really. Just get in the habbit of being more friendly. Speak up. Be confident. And if your not a confident person, maybe you should work on gaining some.
But don't think that everyone has to be bubbly and friendly. You seem to be more of an introvert, and that's totally normmal!! A lot of people prefer to keep more to them selves. Nothing wrong with that. Just make sure that you do have the ability to be outgoing and friendly.
And as far as laughing when people get hurt, so does the rest of the population. Havnt you ever watched americas funniest home videos? The important thing is that you also make sure that they are okay.
Hope I helped!
My friends texted this random ass kid in my phone and said "my friends were right about you. you are cute" and he answered "ha. thanks." My friends are probably just out to get me because of a prank I played on them but they said they see him look at me in the hall when I pass him. And they said that they think he likes me. How? Just through "Ha. Thanks." haha, that makes me think he probably felt really awkward and had no idea what to say. What do you think? Thanks! ♥
Ha sweet friends. But I don't know if I would say that he necessarily likes you, but he was probably just really flattered by the text. He's probably just more aware of you now that he thinks you think he's cute. I mean just put yourself in his shoes...some random guy texts you and says "gee your really hot"m even if you don't know or give a shit about the guy, your still really flattered and happy to know that someone finds you attractive. That's probably the reason he's been noticing you in the hall. Because you noticed him.
Soo that's probably the reason he's been looking at you. Saying that he likes you might be jumping to conclusions a little bit. But hey, he may actually think your hot! You never know untill you actually talk to the kid
ok in this highschool im goin to its a REALLY bad school lol its ghetto..and yea anyways im not pretty or anything im over weight and yea u get the point but my question is how do i get more boys as friends? thanks! ( im really shy by the way )
Well characteristics that I know guys really like in girls are a good sense of humour, a real laid back attitude, and overall cool personality. Guys like girls that are funny. A lot of them also happen to find it really sexy. But I would say that's probably most important. Guys also like girls that are laid back and no drama. Guys hate drama. So just chill out and be yourself. You want them to like you for you.
And about being shy. You have to get over that. Your gonna have to start up some convos. Being shy wonrt get you anywhere. There will be a lot of awkward times, but hey... That's highschool for you. Getting over your shyness and being more confortable in your skin would be the best thing for you.
Good luck :)
Im 16. female. my friends have bfs. its killing me because i have been practically begging for one. im not desperate though, i mean i have standards and stuff. my friend calls me picky and i know i wont be able to find a perfect guy...but i dont want a perfect guy, just somone who is perfect for me. i just want one so bad. it seems like a juvenile problem i know, and i know i have plenty of years ahead of me for that but this yearning wont freaking stop! i want someone to love me and make me feel special. but there is no one around me that i want. so...i guess what im trying to ask is either how to get rid of this empty feeling i have and depression, or something. i dont really know. (ps. ive been asked out before. ha i kinda made it sound like no guys have ever liked me but they do. i just havent liked them back.
I think everyone has felt the way you feel. Its a universal feeling. But as much as you might not want to hear it, at your age you really shouldn't be yearning. I don't think the problem is so much to do with wanting a boyfriend, but maybe a insecurity issue. You should focus on being happy by yourself without anyone else. Because that is the most true and permanent love of all. Boyfriends come and go. Love for yourself stays.
About getting a boyfriend...I have found that the best ones are always the ones that you just happen upon and you don't force anything. It just happens. Wheb you go out looking and searching for a boyfriend you get so wraped up in having one that you overlook the things you really look for and love in a person. The best things in love are the things that come most natural. The things that just kind of happen with fate. Those are the real true meaningful relationships.
So learn to love yourself before needing someone to love you. Don't make it a quest to find a boyfriend. And take everything as it comes and don't be too picky. Just go with the flow and enjoy yourself
Ok I an fifteen and female. So is the boy I like. He is in one period out of nine in school. But that period is the best. He makes me laugh alot and does alot of dumb things to make people laugh at him. That's just how he is. Now, my friends claim he is different with me. Like when he talks to Anne girls he does he whole cute half smile thing but with me they say he does a full on smile. My friends kinda take things to far sometimes. So tonight they decided to text him. The first said I think you would look really cute with __ and he said stop playing these games with me so my other friend said that means he probably likes me and it just amazed that my friend thinks that. So she said I'm being totally serious and he said we aren't in fifth grade so sh got mad that he was beig a jerk and stopped while my othe friend continued to text him and they exchanged maybe four texts one including "what do you think of __" and hi
saying we are really good friends and I'm not sure I want to mess that up and he texted back "would you ever consider dating her? Because I totaly think you two would be adorNle together. He didn't answer. Do you think he likes me and if so, why? Thanks!! Sorry if it's long.
To be honest he probably did at first. Its a large possibility. He also could have just really liked being around you and was liking getting to know you. But what I don't think he likes is your friends intervening. He's right. You guys are not in fifth grade anymore. You should have not let your friends text him and get in the way of a possible relationship. It does seem really immuture. Whether he liked you or not, that should have stayed between you and him. It seems like he liked you at first. You should just go with it and not try to rush him into dating or anything and just enjoy getting to know eachother. That's usually the best part anyways when your that young. And always keep that mind, you guys are still really young so he might not be ready for it. Just like I said, go with the flow and just enjoy being around eachother and hanging out. Don't push him into a relationship and don't let your friends get involved
why do people want to have sex so badly?????????
it feels good.
So i'm 16 and i've been with this guy for six months and we've done the 3rd base thing. Like he fingers me and i've given him a hand job. So like i of course always make him finish but he's never made me orgasm. Like i've been closish....i think....but i always feel like i'm gonna pee, i've been able to orgasm on my own and it doesnt feel like that and i dont know why he cant make me, even though he does he same thing i do, clit stimulation. The other day he was really working hard and it always feels really good, its not that it doesn't but idk i can't finish. Maybe i'm afraid to infront of him? but i dont think so cause i really want to, i even direct him sometimes. Well anyway yeah he was working real hard and i knew he was getting tired so i faked it.....but i feel so bad about it...i know a lot of girls do it but i feel so dishonest i've never lied to him. He told me once he'd never want me to fake it and that he'd get mad at me if i did cause he wants to please me....so i'm kinda scared to tell him that i did...he thinks he's made me finish twice but he's never been able to, i dont even remember faking it in the past......i dont know what i should do or why i cant orgasm
okay yeah i definetely would not tell him you faked it. you never do that. it would hurt his ego and probably make him too self concious if you were to do it again. as for the orgasm part. i think a part of it may be that you are thinking too much. just let your mind go and think about all the sensations that are coming out of it. also since you know how to bring your self to an orgasm, you should try directing him on what too do. for instance telling him to speed up or slow down or touch certain parts. that will help him learn. also reassure him from time to time if he is doing something well. let him know tthat it feels good. you guys are still young so you have a lot of learning too do. dont worry that hes not an expert on making a girl cum.
so too recap:
1. dont tell him you faked it
2. dont worry about having an orgasm, just go with it...mind over matter.
3. help him out in making you orgasm.
good luck and i hope i helped!
why does the girl on the website always have only half a shirt on? Isn't that sexist?
sex sells. apparently women are only taken serious when their naked or doing something sexy. its just a problem with society. its not really the guys fault. they like what they like. boobies. but its more of the womens. becuase they allow them selves to degrade themselves.
Hi... I am kind of upset so my writing might send of some type of emotional vibe...despite that i just want to say that I do think I a rational despite all this...
I had arranged with my parents to leave the house for the night so that I can invite a few friends over for a fright night movie marathon. I invited about 15 people over. It was a last minute thing and I kind of arranged this last night... Anyway so 3 declined because they were really scared and couldn't deal with it. my best friend said she couldn't cause she had to finish "homework" . the rest never answered. and one just said she wasn't coming. point blank and very blunt. My best friend really really upset me cause that afternoon she basically ordered me to take her to the mall to get "necessary stuff for tomorrow's homework night" (something she arranged and I have to buy the cake even though it's her place.. usually i wouldn't mind but some how when there is buying i always end up paying most of the time... she doesn't even offer unless she wants to claim it later... again i never mind in exchange for her trustworthy and loyalty... friends give and take) needless to say the trip's purpose ended up being her ride so she could go shopping for a few stuff and to see what stuff she need when sale happens. I got really upset because we didn't even get anything for tomorrow... she was too busy going into the stores she wanted so i ended up going with my other friend who happened to be there to prove a point. she didn't care, and was basically implying that i should go and she'll find me when she's done... so i ended up going with this girl and bought a few things. on the way out she was like oh that was productive i just gave her a look and said nah it's all unnecessary stuff really in hopes she'd get it, but all she said was what do you mean you went shopping didn't you you have bags. I just ignored her.
earlier that day (when i asked her if she went online to check the event and whether she was coming and she said no) i suggested that she go study then and come to my house later that night instead of going out now and studying tomorrow she came up with some lame excuse about why she couldn't or how night was the best time to study. when she wants something she enforces it. if she wants to come over she'll come up with a stupid plan why she's coming (usually implying that i'm the benefactor, like she's got food or we should study together -and we never do) even music its never what i want it is always what she wants... but now that i look back she never does anything i want. I am usually fine cause i am indecisive anyway but when there is a thing i want she always ditches and is blunt about it. I feel so bad because i never used to notice it. Gullible i guess... but i am really hurt. of 15 friends (all of whom know I would be there for them no matter what!) none of them show up? What should I do? I want to be assertive but I don't know how to... I am always nice cause I don't know how to be assertive without being rude. i am tired of people just using me... and i guess i know that i'll never be as giving anymore or let in someone close since deep down everyone is selfish (not because of this time but due to the fact that reoccurs over and over and over!) how do i just cut these people slowly without severing all ties completely to avoid drama.. honestly i gave up on people being selfless.. i just don't know how to control my emotions about this... i feel so stupid.
you need to get angry or something! stop letting yourself be used as a doormat to people who really dont seem to care about you! you need to do some serious alone time and get yourself straight. this will be a lifelong pattern unless you get ahold of it. drop the people whom use you. what good are they too you anyways? why continue to let these people use you if your not getting anything back. you say friendship is about give and take. your giving and their taking and thats the end of that.
learn to say no to people. if you dont want to do something but there insisting, stand your ground!! refuse. you dont have to be an angry asshole bitch about it, but just say no, you dont want to. if they make a big dramatic deal about it, and put it back on you by saying things like "your suppose to be my friend", or "friends do this for eachother." dont listen to this! its a guilt trip. there trying to guilt you into to doing something for them. just tell them guilt trips dont work on you. if they claim they dont want to be your friend any more because of you saying no, that just goes to show what a shitty friend they really were. obviously you didnt mean that much to them.
so how to distance yourself. just stop hanging out with them. simple as that. dont give them dirty looks or say nasty comments, just treat them like everybody else. if they try to make a big deal about it, just ignore it. seriously just dont talk to them! it takes 2 too make drama. if your not giving in, then its not really drama. its just someone bitching. these people are going to fade away over time anyways and you wont even remember them as you get older.
and by the way you can be selfless without being a pushover.
you might want to watch this clip. its from scrubs and its of elliot (blonde girl) who is tired of being the pushover no one takes seriously. so she does whats right for her. its good empowerment

17/f
ok, so ever since high school, i've always been part of different groups of friends. Right now, im friends with tom-boyish girls that aren't all pretty made-up faces, and another group that is all made-up faced and into boys. They are different groups of people but they aren't too different, like to the point where if u bring them together there could be a massive cat-fight.. So they aren't too different, they just dont exactly like each other a whole lot, they dont mind each other though.. I hope im making sense.
Well, i was just wondering what does this mean? Im finishing high school this year and starting uni next year.. Could this mean that im still 'searching for myself'? But i feel like i know who i am already. Or could this mean im not a cliche? Like i dont fall into a clique like in those typical American movies..? Or could this mean im two-faced? I seriously doubt this one, because im still the same person in both groups.. Fun-loving and goofy..
Sorry this is so long..
Thank you though.. :)
no definetely not! I think what your doing is awsome! you never want to put all your eggs in one basket(sorry for that cliche) having different groups of friends is awsome becasue it introduces you too different types of people, and gives more opportunities too make new friends. i personally think falling into a tight little click is immuture, and petty. being friends with differnt types of people makes you an all around better likes person.
so no, i dont think your being two faced, or trying to still find yourself. i think what your doing is great!
Ok, so i'm a guy, 17. anyways, over the summer, i told this girl i liked her. she told me she had before, but she liked someone else at that time, i was cool with it, well anyways, i got over her, and we remained friends. we would text occasionally, but never really got to hang out. well i was talking to her one day, and we decided to hang out. she ended up having to work that day, but i went up and we just sat around talking for over an hour. well i think i'm starting to like her again, and i'm not sure if she likes me. well we were talking, and i'm not the skinniest guy you'll ever meet, and we were talking about that and she said if i gained some muscle and lost some weight, i would be, and i quote, "hot..." and she always smiles and seems happy when i'm around. she always trys to touch me (non sexually, mind you, heads outta the gutter =D)like she hits me playfully and trys to trip me. and i put my arm around her, like i was gonna choke her, and she leaned back against me and we fell to the floor and sat there for a minute.
so my question is...you think she's interested?
well as a girl i have actually used that first line before.
look shes either into you, or a tease who just likes the attention a guy gives her, despite who the guy is.
you know her better then any of us do. she might be a really sweet girl whos also genuine.
my advice to you is too confront her again. girls have mixed feelings and change their mind 24/7. they may like someone while their with them, then outta sight, outta mind.
i honestly wouldnt be suprised if she is just in it for the attention. girls love that attention a guy gives them when their intrested. its like a drug.
she also seems really superficial talking about if you were to change your body, then you'd be hot. thats bullshit and if she dosnt like you the way you are, why would you waste your time with her.
talk to her about this all if you want to, but my overall answer is forget about it. she dosnt seem worth your time, and she just seems into playing little games with people.
Yeah, I know I could look it up by typing the lyrics. HOWEVER, I just know that there's a few times in the song when "Laalalalaaa, la la laalalaa" or something similar is sung. It's upbeat, a recent song and it's a female sounding voice.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? :)
it might be "cant tell me nothing" by kanye west. idk that sounds sort of like the refrain in that song and its sung by a women.
whats douching?
its how a girl cleans her vagina.
She squirts a sack of vinegar and water up into her private to clean it and rid it of odor.
This must be noted however that douching is not recommended, and a female would be better of with just soap and water.
I have to write a satirical article for newspaper, it can be about anything, but preferably something going on in this world at the moment. Any ideas? I can't seem to think of anything...
watch a couple episodes of South Park. they are brillantly satirical.
but as goes for topics, you could do celebritites or the publics obsession with celebrities. politics and political scandals. clicky high school girls who say "like" and "omg" alot. overly pompous athletes. or anything you can really think to make fun of for. satire is really just a form of mocking.
it's just too hard. i've wanted to kill myself for ages. i mean i remember standing in front of the mirror when i was seven and think how nice it would be if i was dead. this can't be normal. and aside from the fact that i am totally screwed up, i have no friends, no talent, no family. there is no one who loves me, and yes, i am sure of this, BELIEVE ME. see as well as being depressed, i have this thing. it's a form of escapsism, really. i basically pretend to live in a different life, soemtimes it a futrue i hope that i could have had if i didn't kill my self. but then it like reality hits and it all comes crashing down. i know it not healthy, but can't i just live in my world? at least im happy there. i know i have to face reality, and postphoning my inevitable suicide, is pointless, but i just like it there. it makes me think that im normal, though, obviously im not. im not on here, because, 'obviously im just crying out for attention, and i don't really want to kill my self', so don't bother with that crap, i know, i've given advice to people as well okay. and don't say that someone must love me, or there's soemthing i must look forward to. even my fasasies are way too exetreme to be possible. the advice i want is simple,( and answer honestly, because either way, i WILL DIE, so deal with it): should i fantasise more and commit suicide, just a tiny bit more happier, or should i just kill my self, and spare myself any more pain? please, don't be stupid or naiive about this. i don't care about god. i don't care about the right to live, i don't care about thereapy. i just came on here for some advice. and if you do try and give me some crap rather than answer it, then thanks a lot. you should just let me suffer by myself, rather than mislead me. it not like im not trying hard enough to get by as it is, okay?
id fantasize. mine as well enjoy yourself before you go. and most people have some form of escapism. its called day dreaming.
you should really get some medication though. happy pills, something. there is something wrong with you and its called depression. alot of people have it, and its treatable.
good luck with this. and good bye if you decided to leave us. i hope your last thought is at least a happy one.
what feels better for a girl? ultra ribbed condoms or her pleasure condoms?
and how good are the ectasy ones in general?
id say ultra ribbed. ive never used the for her pleasure but i know the ribbed ones feel awsome.
how do you roll a blunt? my friend gave me those flavored blunt wrap things but i dont know how to roll!! help please
I ♥ BLUNTS
well i think this video can explain it better because you can see how he is doing it...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMR290l-qy8&feature=related
now you can make it fatter, just use more weed.
the finer grinded, the better.
now you already have the wraps so you dont have to crack the blunt and get out the guts.
i always lick the edges, just so it dosnt tear and so it rolls nicer.
you always want to leave a little bit of a way for air to get through, so dont make it TOO tight. but it is good for it is to be tight.
lick the blunt when rolling to make it stay, and when your done rolling and everything, dry it by running a lighter underneath it so it can dry.
MAKE SURE NOT TO LIGHT THE BLUNT ON FIRE WHILE DOING THIS. you just run it under so it can dry, so its not all too spitty. this is sorta unneccesssary, but makes for a better blunt when sharing with a group.
now your done, light then end and hit that shit.
heres another video just in case the other sucked.

have fun!
Do any women in New Jersey over the age of 18 have the guts to kick me in the balls?
I bet $500 that no women have the guts to kick me in the nuts without feeling bad about it. The same day that happens is the same day I'll put on panties and dance to a Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, Katy Perry, or Pussycat Dolls song. That's how sure I am! You can pick out the song and panties, I don't care!
id do it. and not feel bad either. this is because you asked. im not just gonna run up to some fool and kick in the nuts without deserving it.
and i dont know how nj people do it. but your into some weird things.
and id say a banana hammock while dancing to girls just want to have fun.
Okay, I am a band geek, forever and always, and a lot of controversy stirs up whenever I talk about how hard it is. People always say band isn't a sport but in a lot of ways we are more advanced than a sport, we practice everyday for 5 hours starting at 8 am going to 1.. in the SUMMER! We practice Tuesdays and Thursday's after school for 2 and a half hours, the beginning of that practice consists of yoga to get your muscles ready to march and some running to pump up your adrenaline AND NO water breaks! We have performances Fridays at football games and Saturdays for Cavalcades, cavalcade mornings, man oh man, we must arrive at 8 am, practice three hours then we go home until report time when we go back for more practice before we actually perform. At after school practices we must memorize music which are 2 pages long usually each band plays three songs, so that's 6 pages of music to memorize. We also must learn our sets, which is where we stand in the show and that's usually 20 sets a song so that's 60 different spots on the field we need to learn, and believe me each set isn't "okay you stand on the 50 yard line" it's "2.5 steps inside the front sideline hash and 3.75 steps outside side 2 35 yard line." It's confusing, plus you need to learn different routes to take so you don't run into other band members. We also need to learn the exact beat our horn goes up to the box and how long it needs to stay up or how long or short we need to halt. It gets hard at cavalcades because there is a judge in your face saying things into a recorder but you can't look him/her in the eyes then they will deduct points for not watching your drum major. If anyone thinks band isn't a sport or matter of factly, more than a sport than you're ridiculous. What's your take?
i would say its more of an art, then a sport. im not saying its not hard, it might be, but its not really a sport. go through a real sports practice and you'll be vommiting. And honestly while explaining your practice, you seemed whiney. thats not any where near the amount of physical activity it takes to be on a sports team.
im not demeaning what you do. it prob takes alot of concentration and shit like that, but its not the same as a sports team, its just not. your playing an instrument, thats an art, and just because your doing steps and walking while playing dosnt make it a sport.
you dont get water breaks because you dont need them.
everyone has long all day practices that seem to never end, we just are doing more physical activity during it.
so my opinion is that band is not a sport. no. its an art, a fine art at that.
but do me a favor and really watch the football players that your playing for. notice how it takes concentration and physical activity. thats because its a sport.
plus theres no excitment in watching marching band. what would be the highlight of what you do? someone hits a high note? woohoo thats exciting.
and dont just give out bad scores because you dont agree. what did you expect? did you think everyone would agree with you? you asked for our takes so we gave them.
i know and i respect what you guys do and all because like i said, its prob not easy. but just because you practice alot dosnt make you a sport. your an entirely different thing. its art. art with moving. and just cause one guy on your squad does a flip, dosnt mean you all can. your training is differnt.
but then again who am i to judge what a sport is or isnt. i deal with meat heads who tell me that because im a girl, the sport i play, lacrosse, really isnt a sport. so i feel your frustration when all you want is for others to fully appreciate what we do. so if you want to call it a sport, go for it. no one can stop you. but there will always be someone to disagree.
