When I started high school, my mom gave me the whole "You'll be starting college soon, so grades and extracurricular activities are important" speach, and she said that any extracurricular activity I wanted to sign up for was fine. She had no problem with me joining the school newspaper, art club, or drama club, but when I asked if I could join cheerleading, she said no because "cheerleading is for bimboes". I don't get why she would say that, it's a sport and it's an extracurricular activity, what's wrong with that? I think she's being unreasonable, but she won't even listen to me. What should I say to her that will make her change her mind?

maybe she doesnt want you to be a cheerleader, because maybe when she was in high school, they treated her badly. or maybe she doesnt want you to get the reputation that she fears you may get. i'm not trying ot be down on cheerleaders or catagorize them or anythign, but many times cheerleaders are known as snobby people who are rude and mean to others, granted, i have met a few really nice cheerleaders, btu there is really nothign you can say to change her mind, maybe if you tell her WHY you wanna be a cheerleader, and explain to her that she cannot stereotype them. maybe you can get her to let you do it, even tho she doesnt agree. good luck!

(Rating: 2) Sorry, but most of your advice was just stereotyping cheerleaders and it didn't really help.
