GoodAdvice12345 answered Friday June 23 2006, 6:25 pm: You should try out for the team, what could it hurt? If you dont make the team then you can still play for fun and keep practicing and try again next year. Good Luck! Hope I helped! [ GoodAdvice12345's advice column | Ask GoodAdvice12345 A Question ]

If you want to try out, try out, but it depends will you be playing your best knowing that people are watching you (popular people), and may possibly ruin your reputation? You just have to be confident!!
Furthermore, if that's what your friends are saying then they're prob. not the ones you want to be hanging out with. Friends are the ones that you turn to for support not "put" downs to make you feel worse!!

Good Luck :] [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
partygurl24 answered Thursday June 22 2006, 2:41 am: I definitely think that you should try out. If you really like this sport then go ahead. Who cares if only popular girls play for the team. That's probably how they get popular anyway. I don't believe that the coach will pick you due to popularity. If you really want to play, then play because you might just regret it later on if you don't try out. I hope I helped! [ partygurl24's advice column | Ask partygurl24 A Question ]
xxoSGoxx answered Thursday June 22 2006, 1:43 am: Seriously what kind of friends ae these that dont support you with the simplest of things such as joining the team . My advice is dont let them stop you , If your a good player then join , and if this team is for the popular people then dont let that intimidate you either , If you care at all about being popular than thats another reason you should join , your knew to this school so join and make new friends , My freshmen year I joined soccer and softball and it helped me reach the popular level at my school I made knew different friends , so do it [ xxoSGoxx's advice column | Ask xxoSGoxx A Question ]
lilangl1113 answered Thursday June 22 2006, 1:13 am: Try out! =] You shouldn't stay in just one clique in highschool! Every clique is greta for different reasons! You'll make great friends plus you love the sport! What could be better? Remember it's your life, not your friends. Of you listen to them and let them stop you from doing something you love, then you're letting them live your life! It's yours! Have fun! Do things! Live your life with no regrets darling! =] Hope I helped!
karenR answered Thursday June 22 2006, 12:58 am: If you enjoy playing basketball then by all means do. It is fun, a way to meet other people,
and great exercise. Don't let your friends keep you from doing something you really want to do. You will regret it later. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
