Stunting
Hey. Um, so I cheer, and I've been a flyer for years. Only, this year, I don't get too much of a chance to fly. This is because my base/back is always gone, and we don't have the right amount of girls on the team.. But, anyways.. I never tend to get to practice much. So, I have to switch around groups and try libs and stuff every few weeks (totally not fair).
Some girls say I'm really light, and then this one, specifically, says "Oh, that's alot of weight." I'm not sure if she's just lazy, but it's my main base, who says this, too. (Though, she tends to be a perfectionist, and is used to lifting an 80 pound girl).
It's just killing my confidence, ya know? I mean, I've always felt fat, but I've been trying like crazy to lose weight, because I don't want the people on cheering to like, hate me. (I don't really talk much, anyway). I mean, I'm so tempted to be like "I'm sorry I'm not anorexic, but suck it up." But that'd be rude, hm? :P
I'm 14, about 4'10, and found out at physicals today that I was 93 pounds. I was really proud of that weight, because at home, I normally add 10 lbs to the scale. But yea..
Help? Do I actually need to lose weight, or.. what? :(

I'm 13/f and I'm 78 lbs! (I'm not anorexic) You don't have to be anorexic to fit in. I don't think you're fat, and if they are saying that, they're probably just trying to get to your head or maybe they're just jealous of you. Just love yourself the way you are, no need of trying to change! It may be rude but it's not being rude when you are standing up for yourself and saying "STOP" or something like that cause it bothers you!

No, you do not need to loose weight. I was a pop warner cheerleader for six years, and 93 pounds was fine to lift! Bases can be really critical sometimes because it can be tiring to lift, depending on the stunt you're doing. However, try not to let them get you down. I know a girl who was literally one of the best flyers I've seen, but bases started calling her fat. Be proud of your weight!
