Is this tacky or not?
okay in the town where i live, all the cheerleaders have these little wooden signs in their yards that say [school name] cheerleader. well i just made cheerleading and my parents wont let me put my sign out because they think its "tacky." and actually, i dont really like it either, cuz i feel like its kind of bragging. but the other girls have been asking me why i dont have my sign out, and i don't know what to say. i dont want to insult them by saying my parents think its tacky. so what should i say?

You just have to tell them, "Well my parents, as well as I, don't think I need it. The whole town doesn't need to know I'm a cheerleader." Or something like that. Or you can really just say your feelings "I think its tacky to be honest with you. I'm sorry if you don't feel the same way, but I don't think I want or need one."

P.S. I think it's tacky too.

Uck. Its tacky. No one around here does that because of deed restrictions.
You could always say "I dont care for it" or blame it on deed restrictions or something similar to that. Or you can say that your parents dont want it, etc. You dont have to say that they think its tacky. If they asked why you can be like "I dont know", etc.
Honestly, you dont have to say anything because they shouldnt really care about it.

I don't like this kind of thing and let me tell you why. You may be able to use it.
Where I live people were told for safety reasons
Not to put those "Its a Boy" or "Its a Girl" signs
in their yards anymore. Its not against the law,
it is just advice from local Police Dept.
We had a case of baby snatching around here
and of course if someone wants to do that...you
are basically advertising.
I saw a news program the other night about a
rapist targeting cheerleaders. Now this is not
to cause you panic, this was something that
happened years ago. But, same deal.
Why advertise where you live?
Just tell them it is a safety issue with you.
You wouldn't go on the internet and advertise
where you live. You don't want to do it for
school either. I think it is a bad idea. I'm
sure the school hasn't thought about it. Its
been done for years. These days though, Bad
idea. :)

I think it's okay to blame it on your parents ;) Parents are great for that. Whenever I didn't want to hang out with someone I blamed it on my parents and then gave them the heads up.
You could also tell them you like it more in own bedroom or some such like that.

hmm that is pretty tacky...
if they ask, tell them your parents don't want random people driving by to stalk you. thaat's what my parents would say about a big sign with my name in my front lawn. <3

Oh man, that is tacky. *shudder*
Your parents have kind of given you an easy way out. Just tell the other girls you're not allowed to put the sign up, and don't elaborate. If they ask you why, bitch about your parents and they'll leave you alone.

that is retarded finally the cheerleaders can feel even better then everyone else by having a SIGN in their lawn TACKY, TACKY, TACKY!!!!
ok finally that i have vented, just tell them that your parents wont let you put it up and how horrible it is, but that you think you can get over it the sign is a bit strange...
in other words blame it on your parents but let them know you really dont like it either, you have to stand up for yourself its more fun for everyone if you do, some ppl that want everyone to always be happy, are generally not fun to hang around because their to caught up on emotions and other stuff
