This is completely my opinion, but i wouldn't let anyone keep me from trying-out IF i loved cheering. you'll be a senior; tell the lowerclassmen how it is. They need to learn anyways. i, also, have had second thoughts, but i just keep saying that i do like it. Now my senior year, i don't know if i'll cheer, but b/c i'd like to be in the stands. i'd say just think about if it messes with the other important things in your life, as in does it make you in a bad mood a lot. well...i hope that you come to the choice that you will like in the end. hey, if you try-out & get mad, just quit. i'm so nice about things...lol. i say just praying about it would be the best thing. *GOOD LUCK*
