"I'm so little" part is giving me all sorts of bad flashbacks where girls used to compare themselves to me all the time (I'm 5'10") just to point out how small they are compared to the huge, manly girl ( i e me)
Same. Not only did they make their whole identity about being small but they constantly tried to make other girls feel bad about their size. It was so obnoxious
Happened to me too :/ I used to be pretty active in sports, so I had about as much muscle an adolescent can have. They kept comparing how "small" and "dainty" they are to me. It sucked and made me not want to exercise (bad idea. Next time I did a sport I was *sore*)
some people say it’s not a sport bc it’s not going against another team but a lot of the time it is. but even if it’s not a sport it’s still really hard to do, like a a sport or any dance activity
@@a-gore-able5942 ik that’s why i said “a lot of the time it is” but i get why u where confused i have a hard time putting things into words. and yes it is very hard
@@dovehorse9066 Oh, irony, what a marvelously delightful thing. It seems that you were unaware of the fact that I was not being entirely serious either, therefore, would your statement not thusly apply to yourself as well?
i hate the "I'm so little". i was mostly pretty confident about my body. I'm 5'1 and skinny but healthy. i dated this one guy. he had this 4'11 very underweight female friend. she kept bragging about her small size, and he also compared us. in the end, he cheated on me. with her. this gave me so many insecurities. whenever i accept myself, i still hear their voices and how he left me for someone smaller.
you should've broken up with him when he started comparing. But atleast they found a match for each other. And whenever you think about the pick me, just remember... she'll lose to you in a competition of looking good, being healthy, being tall , being likeable, having a good personality, not being toxic and, most importantly , a fist fight. Don't feel bad just because your ex had bad taste(not talking about you, im talking abt the pickme) He didn't even deserve you , you should be glad and move onto a guy who can maintain a healthy relationship.
Damn hearing the 100 pounds remark reminds me of being told by another girl that I needed to be on weight watchers because I was 100 pounds. I was like a freshman in high school at that time. And I'm only registering how fucked up that is now. Ironically I ended up staying in shape, but I don't believe she did. Crazy how school girls can either be wonderful life long friends or horrific demons.
A lot of it is honestly girls regurgitating what they've personally been told. People talk a lot about how toxic teenage girls are while never examining how they and others treat girls differently from boys in their childhood and teens.
Cheer is a sport. Those girls who say it isn’t have no idea how hard the training is. I doubt they know that professional teams exist and think all there is to it is waving pom poms. People also say that dance isn’t a sport?? Yeah, so I did ballet for years, and that shit is hard. I’m still very flexible though, even though I still don’t do it
@@eristringo do you actually know anything about the training for these. It’s extremely difficult and people often get concussions and even break bones
@@raspberrycat9827 yeah. I’ve never done cheerleading personally, but I do have a bit of an obsession with it 😂 I’ve watched a lot of videos of teams training and performing and it looks pretty brutal
One of the main reasons I would never consider cheerleading: The level of athleticism required for even the most basic routines looks terrifying and I might die.
OMG and the stunts are terrifying like I have to throw my friend while she does a flip and catch her and make her do a 360 on one foot while the other is in a position where she’s basically in the splits standing up (idk how to describe it any better without the actual word)
Yeah it ....i have a love hate lol. In younger years i was usually the base just due to height ( despite being 5,2???) So that was not fun and our flyer was actually heavier than me so alllllll the stunts just fuckin hurt cuz she wouldn't listen either. Then in later years the absolute harassment and just ( icky eww older ppl doing bad things) was just too much. But dancing and non stacking routines were really fun
I fucking hate all sports mainly because ive always been bad at them and never been able to properly do them. I would never be SEEN near a cheer tryout that's how intimidating cheerleading is but I have still daydreamed about being able to cheer that's all I'll ever be able to do. Cheerleading is fantastic I love it I will fully watch all the cheerleaders' journeys in movies and documentaries but I hate all other sports lmao
@@glowingforthe1654 Aww that sucks. Some of our flyers were heavier than the bases too. Also our coach didn't know how to coach. She literally made us run laps until she said stop (WITH OUR MASKS ON!!) because one group didn't do a stunt right, it's like she thought it was everyone's fault. After we ran laps we did the stunt again and we were doing a teddy bear extension with my friend Haley and I was her backspot. I was so tired out, that I fell and I wasn't strong enough to lift her because I had already wasted all my energy on running. I'm so glad I'm not wasting all my weekends on it anymore. Only because of our coach💀
The “iM sO lItTlE” brings back unwanted memories or this girl in line 3rd grade who said she was 30 pounds. She was about the same size as me, and I was NOT any where NEAR 30 pounds. She was the definition of a pick me in elementary school
That’s actually… extremely scary. 30 pounds is definitely underweight for that age. Clearly an older influence in her life (most likely her mom, but you never know) was enforcing an unhealthy body image onto her, perhaps even encouraging an ED, considering she was gloating about weighing so little (even if she didn’t, she obviously wanted to). No child should have to be so conscious about how much they weigh, unless it’s for health related reasons. I truly hope she’s gotten better by now; recovering from that sort of thing is a very lengthy process, and I’m sure it’s even more difficult when it’s started at such an early age.
This sounds like the start of a Netflix show. Especially the part where they were like “so we’re probably gonna have to pretend to like each other now?” And then the other girl was like “yep probably.”
It'd have them both fight over Aiden who'd eventually get so fed up with their BS that he friendzones them both. Both the girls then realize that their "crush" on Aiden was really just comphet all along and that to their horror, they discover that they have feelings for each other... I have a really bad problem of wanting to turn everything into sapphic fanfic-
Fun fact- in my class we literally had both the pick me girls. Like the sporty one that's one of the guys and the overly sensitive one. They hated each other. The sensitive one made it her mission to make everyone look bad(so everyone didn't like her.) Then the sporty one who decided she wanted to make the quiet kids her best friends (the quiet kids being me and another girl) , she wouldn't care about anything the guys did no matter how bad it was, she would also claim to have a crush on literally everyone. She yelled a lot about the other pick me too. Essentially once I switched schools, I made it my mission to never come in contact with either, ever again.
Cheer is totally a sport, and this is coming from a band kid, aka someone who doesn't necessarily like cheer. The amount of coordination, athleticism, and stamina they all have is astounding
“Someone who doesn’t necessarily like cheer” As a band/guard kid, is it a common theme that band and cheer teams hate each other? Cause at my school(was only told this by fellow guard girls), the older cheerleaders hated the guard because they thought we were copying them. Well excuse us for having to do stand dances. And anyways, everyone pays more attention to you guys!
@@cinderleaves3949 oh, I just dont like the people in it. They're not that pleasant to be around tbh, and are always caught up in some form of drama. There are some nicer ones tho so they aren't all bad :>
Just cause you have good balance and csn wave your arms in the air doesn't make it a sport. Just cause a difficult action is involved does not make it a sport
@@barbaral.7221 that's a fair point but just because an activity is difficult doesn't make it a sport. Or we should include sliding into tiny crevices a sport
"I'm literally so tiny, and short, and petite" - this type of girl would ALWAYS bully me for being tall, broad-shouldered, with large hands and feet, and no curves, but guess who gets told to get into modelling nowadays BECAUSE of those traits
CHEER IS A SPORT. You cant change my mind Edit: a lot of people in the comments are saying things along the lines of “sideline cheer isn’t a sport but competitive cheer is” and all I have to say to them is sideline cheer isn’t just waving Pom poms. The amount of coordination and practice it takes to get the cheers down alone makes it qualify as a sport. A lot of what is done in competitive cheer is also done in sideline cheer it just goes unnoticed. Your opinion is your own but do invalidate an entire sport just because of a stigma people have on it. Edit 2: mommmm I’m famous
As a cheerleader more girls got concussions or sprained ankles than the the football players. Bc the cheerleaders don’t have padding falling from high in the air and I’m not trying to be like mean :)
I feel like the pick me girls who are like I don’t like girls there to preppy to “girly” come from either being surrounded by the wrong girls or internalized misogyny Edit : y’all I’m just saying it seems pretty misogynistic to generalize all girls and say there all drama queens and other things Second edit: omg y’all there are debates happening in the replies rn I did not ask for my notifications to blow up like this
so true. similarly, the girly pick me embodies those misogynistic stereotypes in a self depricating way to pander to boys which sucks, cus femininity isnt a bad thing :(
I’m actually kinda one of them but I was raised around boys but yes the groups that I have hung out with sucked but I don’t hate them I just don’t have many friends that are females so yeah basically
what i hate the most is when a girl will tear other girls down in front of guys to make the guys laugh or make the other girl leave because she can be the ✨only girl✨ in the friend group. i hate these types of girls. but most girls are really cool and fun to hang out with just gotta leave the toxic girls behind to realize it.
@@ms.stealyourfood281 having mostly lad friends dosnt make you a pick me, pick me is acting basically like shown in the skit you can have mostly lad friends and not be a pick me
The size part brings back terrible memories of people always comparing their height to mine every girl in my age group is 5’3-5’7 I’m 5’10 and I always wish I was atleast 5’4 or 5’5 bc I hate being so tall I play basketball and stuff but I still wish I was shorter for certain things
Okay, but what if this is a "enemies to lovers" type of fanfic and they both get better and fall in love? I can't get this out of my head, i'm gonna write a fanfic about it
Cheer is basically doing extreme gymnastics all while smiling and having a clear conversation in an enthusiastic tone with a rambunctious crowd the entire time - so yeah, it's a sport. As for makeup, if you've ever watched American Beauty Star or RuPaul's Drag Race, you'd understand that makeup could be considered a blood sport.
@@TraceyJeanne Very good point. Couldn't imagine throwing a person, catching them and smiling while doing so, but that's what cheerleaders do. You're hyper athletes imo.
I love that all the guys are just so kind and warm and innocent amd oblivious to the fact that they are inviting toxic, fake and crazy women into their lives
In my senior year of high school I got put into sports history class because I basically took everything else and the one class I wanted instead was full. I failed that class so hard. I did have a lot of guy friends in school and wasn’t a pick me because I honestly was incredibly shy and reserved unless I already felt comfortable. I went to a small school and they felt like brothers. They didn’t force me socially or emotionally. All of the guys in that class were not people I wanted to be around, but if they were, I could’ve learned a lot rather than info going in one ear and getting lost completely, never even making it through the other. I hated sports lol.
Oh my gosh literally nailed the acting on it like I felt mad when she said cheer isn’t a sport. I’m a cheerleader and you have to work really hard to do stunts perfect.
COMPETITIVE cheerleading is a sport but no matter how difficult it is or how much physical activity you’re doing it can’t be a sport if you’re just doing a routine at games. You have to be competing for it to be a sport
@@Ifi1waVBH first of all I am a competitive cheerleader XD, second of all something can be a sport without needing competition. Imagine Somone who does cross country in their free time, is that now not a sport just because they don’t compete?
@@Ifi1waVBH it doesn’t have to be a competition to be a sport lmao. You can do something casually and still have it be a sport. Why are you gatekeeping sports? I’m a baseball of 8 years and I play competitively, along with just for fun. When I’m playing casually it’s not considered a sport???
YES idk why people think it’s not like bruh try getting lift by one of your friends with no equipment and do a flip and get caught perfectly fine, or do a round off bhs bhs layout. Ya like do that and then you can say it’s not a sport
@@rileyrose9314 ik we get like no credit 🙄. Im a flyer so like try doing flips in the air then landing on someone hands trying not to fall off after you land and do it all with a smile on your face.
"could never become one of the guys" Jocelyn then goes on to become a transgender male and gets together with Cassidy, they both go to therapy and together get rid of their toxic ideologys. After highschool they get married, Cassidy goes to college to become a vet and Jocelyn becomes a stay at home dad. And they all lived happily ever after.
fishing technically isnt a sport bc the definition of sport is "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment."
And then the girls put aside their differences, stop shaming each other for the things they like, and slowly start to get along with each other, and understanding that they don't need to impress guys to be valid :)
@@sashaspotato1180 Actually, you’re incorrect 😐. The definition of cheerleading is “an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment”. Because side line cheerleading isn’t competitive, by definition it is not a sport.
I hate it when people say “cheer isn’t a sport” or “cheer isn’t even that hard” like how would you feel if I told you to do a round off 5 backhand springs and finish with a back tuck
It’s like just being a tomboy is a crime these days, I bet there are some girls out there who are ACTUALLY “one of the guys”, naturally if you don’t have similar interests with some people and are into sports/fitness you tend to have more guy friends
I'm friends with a group of boys from my class because they mean a lot to me. When the girls of the class bullied me and left me out because I was a "nerd", I found them, a group of nerds, willing to help. We've been friends ever since.
I know this comment is old but i just wanna say, yeah. Like pick mes and nlogs obviously suck but SOMETIMES they almost get pushed into that role by other girls not accepting them. Like in kindergarten, the girls in my class literally would not play with me and when we were doing a sandcastle building competition between then boys and girls, the girls told me i had to build with the boys because they didnt want me on their team. So yeah, all of my friends were boys. I literally didnt have a choice. No wonder i felt like i wasnt like the other girls, the other girls told me i was different 🤷🏻♀️
Wait same because when I was like 13 the girls at school didn't wanna talk to me and literally would tell me to leave whenever they were having a conversation, so instead I became friends with the guys. Specifically two boys who became my best friends throughout high school-- then later on the girls started saying I was leading them on and that I should just "pick one" already, as if they hadn't excluded me from the group from the beginning
Why does this remind me of the time that a kid in my class said to me “you Don’t know anything about basketball” then I was like “uhh, yea I do. 1. I play basketball 2. That’s sexist.” He apologized though and said he didn’t mean it like that so we’re all good.
as a girl, i think cheerleaders are awesome. plus they usually get good grades as well and i look up to some of them. i don’t cheer, and a lot of people don’t either. i love doing taekwondo however. that’s no reason to be hateful to anyone who doesn’t have the same interests as you.
"I can't do a sport I'm only 100 pounds" I can tell you that I know several 100-pound girl wrestlers who are all badass. You don't need to be heavy to play a sport.
"So we're probably going to have to start pretending to like eachother now?" Why do I feel like they are going to hangout and slowly become friends, I mean it's bound to happen at some point.
