Okay well, I've never personally been a flyer, because I'm taller then the girls on my squad, but I have cheered for nearly seven years so I've picked up a thing or two.
ALWAYS lock your legs in a stunt, this helps the bases TREMENDOUSLY. When loading in for a stunt, push hard off the base's shoulders and pull yourself up to help out the bases. They can't do all the work themselves. Find a spot level with you on the wall and concentrate on that to help your balance. For extra balance work on standing in the Liberty or Aerobeque stance at home so you'll nail it when it comes time to do those in a stunt. (If you're unsure of what those are, ask a squadmate to demonstrate. It'd wouldn't make sense trying to describe them online) Use your arms to pull up your body weight, also be aware of the counts. When cradling, ride the pop by pulling your arms up and settling in a pike position. When you fall to the bases STAY TIGHT, flying arms and legs can really get someone hurt .. I had a broken nose thanks to that. Wrap your arms around the bases neck/shoulders and use your stomach muscles to pop out of their arms when they catch and prepare to release you.
Now, to give advice you have to be fair.
You need to see the askers point of view, so don't attack them. Make sure you always tell the truth, don't make up that being popular is the best and they should act like a snot to become one. Tell them the truth, be sweet. Just think about the answer they truly need and think about how they are answering the question. Use personal expierences to help them out. Don't answer questions you have no idea about (Ex: I'm a virgin, I'm only 14, therefore I don't give people answers on sex questions) Also, check for spelling errors, no one will believe you know what you're talking about if you mispell a word.
