I'm doing cheerleading for my first time this year. I'm in 10th grade and I'll probably be on Junior Varsity. The thing is - everyone makes fun of the JV cheerleaders and I really am only doing cheerleading to go to all of my boyfriend's football games next year. He's on Varsity football and I wont be cheering for him if I only make JV. If I get put on JV I know I'd work really hard to get bumped up to Varsity before the football season starts (September) but I'm not positive that I'd get moved up. I know I'd work hard and it would be nice to have an extra-curricular activity to do but I dont know if I want to do it if I'd be on a terrible team and wouldn't get moved up to Varsity. I don't know if i should even bother if I'm not going to be on Varsity. I'd be very greatful if I could just get some opinions on this. Thank you so much. I'll rate high.

You will be able to cheer and learn alot about cheerleading also im sure youll have lots of great memories. Who cares if people make fun of JV cheerleaders, because if you are in 10th grade and make the JV squad, by your senior year you will be a Varsity cheerleader with lots of experience. If your boyfriend is as great as you think he is you will still be together by your 12th grade year and you can cheer him on then: besides he should support you either way. Plus, it seems like you are really inspired about doing this so i bet that you will be moved up to varsity in no time. [ seattlegirl's advice column | Ask seattlegirl A Question ]
