Alright, so, at my school we have a JV/Varsity cheer squad. JV cheers for girls bball team + Varsity cheers for guys bball team. im on the JV team. the coaches said at the beginning of the season that there was NOT going to be a difference in squads they just needed to split it up for games. but then it all started about a month ago when we found out that only Varsity could go to away games, and i was so upset because i signed up for cheerleading for a reason. but, then my coach took me outside in the hallway to tell me that "oh, your better than half he girls in there" "JV was the last one picked..." which really didnt help what so ever. + then it happened tonight at the game we cheered at, we were going to do 2 wicked awesome cheers + then my captains like "NO, LETS SAVE IT FOR VARSITY" then this girl on Varsity says "OH REJECTION [the name of the cheer] IS FOR VARSITY NOT FOR DUMB JV" which really got me po-ed. i have tried everything to tell my coaches, captains + everyone + they wont do anything to change all the unfairness thats going around, so what should i do? anything would be appreciated! anything i could say to them to maybe make them understand. thanks so much!

This is exactly what i am going through right now! Only, I can't be on varsity because no freshmmen can be on varsity.
My school has a rule where you have to have had one term of JV before you can be considered for Varsity- and the Varsity girls say "JV get the mats" "JV don't do that cheer" "JV did you paint the posters for our football game?" "JV hang the posters" and "JV you can't do that at OUR pep rally".
I completely understand everything. I think that we shouldn't have to say anything to them, because i think that our coaches are at fault. our COACHES should be putting the varsity girls back in their place, and telling them to respect each other and everyone else. I've noticed that when the varsity girls act like that my coach doesn't say anything, and let's them walk all over her. Our coaches should hear our silent cries and tell varsity to repect US, because they are not better than we are.
BUT if i did say something, i would most likely ask them "why do you think you are so much better than me?" and with that answer, tell them that their parents should've taught them better to treat everyone with equality and no one differently.
Oh my gosh, I sound like a parent. haha. so yeah,
xoxoxo, Kendra
