horrible
i have been cheerleading since i was six. all of my friends always tell me how jealous they are because of how good i am. so this time cheerleading tryouts came around and this is the first year i can try out for the actual school squad. originally my friends didnt want to try out (when i say friends im only talking about my 2 best friends) but i convinced them they should. so when trouts came i performed my best and looked neat only to find out i didnt make it. i know this sounds cocky but im seriously not used to not making anything. i have never been this disappointed. i wanted it so bad. the worst part is my friends made it. I am little overweight. definitly not like alot but definitley a little. i kinda think the judges are prejudice about that and maybe thats why i didnt make it. i really did perform great. and i am really not trying to be cocky im just trying to tell my feelings. does anyone know how to deal with this?? im so shook up and upset. i wanted this so bad. please help with anything.

Thanks

Hi!!
well wow!
I totally understand you feel bad because your friends who used to think you were the best made it and you didn't...
the only thing i can say is if life gives you lemons make lemonade... Use this time to practice and make yourself even better so when next time comes you will totally rock it and you will be chosen in a heartbeat...
oh and please remember everything happens for a reason just think of it that way...
hope I helped even a little

gurl i went through something similar. like we had cheerleading tryouts about two weeks ago and i made varsity freshman year sophmore year and jr year now i'll be a senior next year and they put me on jv. i felt i did my best. but i still didn't make varsity and it's really embarassing. i'm trying out again over the summer. but i just accepted it and dealt with it. spend this year further perfecting your cheerleading i know youve been cheering since u were six but more practice wouldn't hurt. Take some tumbling classes and perfect that.Just make sure next year they have no reason not to put you on the squad. also try out for a competative squad if you want. and nicely ask the coaches why you didn't make it so you know what you need to work on. don't let it get you down just keep busy.
hope i helped

Be happy knowing you performed at your best. It's inevitable that we all fall a little short of a goal or achieving something sooner or later. It's not your fault and there's always next time. You've learned that not everyone will choose you each time.
You're not used to this but you have to fail at something at least once to get even better. Perhaps if you really think hard about it that there was something you didn't nail or something that stood out more about your friends.
Maybe they were more natural, more fluid. Evaluate what they did and look honestly and hard at why you were not chosen. Ask the people who chose the team what you can do better for next time and why you weren't chosen. I think that's a good step.
Don't be jealous of your friends. Be happy for them even though you didn't make it and talked them into the audition. It's not their fault that you were not chosen. All this does is teach you to become even better than you are now. It also teaches you to be less cocky and convinced that you're the best and can't falter.
Maybe the lesson here is to work even harder, be grateful for your talents, and above all be humble about them and honest with yourself that you can always practice more and improve.
I know you wanted this badly and are upset right now but you have to stop crying as it won't fix anything no will anger. You got knocked down and now is the time to get back up and keep going and doing what you love. Spend this time getting better at it so next time they can't pass you over.
Also did you think that this particular position might not be meant for you? Maybe you are meant to cheerlead but not on this particular squad. Maybe there's a reason they were chosen as it's the path they need to be on and the right place for them.
Every time you are let down there's always a good reason and perhaps if you practice your butt off there might be something you're meant to do with cheerleading elsewhere that is very rewarding.
By the way, weight should have nothing to do with being picked. if it does you can challenge them as that's discrimination and violation of your rights. However, I'm sure it's not the case at all here. You may be a few pounds over but can always diet responsibly and lose them.
I would get yourself in great shape, move on, keep practicing daily and wait for another or better opportunity. Perhaps you could teach younger kids about cheerleading and help people on the squad get better. Use this time wisely.
