I want to be in cheerleading, but.....?

Question

Everyone says I should be a cheerleader because I'm really pretty. Thing is I'm in gymnastics and tumbling so that I can be good at stuff like cheerleading, I've wanted to be in cheerleading for 2 years but I had to go through tumbling and gymnastics and trials before I could get in. This is what I've dreamed of for a looooong time, I just don't want everyone to think that they forced me to do this and think they can get me to do anything. Worst of all I don't want my friends to turn and say I'm naive, self-absorbed, and a know-it-all, cause I'm really pretty and they make fun of pretty cheerleaders calling them all of the above things. What do I do?

Theres a time in life where you have to stop caring what people think.  And it doesn't matter if you're pretty. My friends starting cheerleading even though their friends said the same thing as your friends do. And you know what? Their friends began to stop caring. If you wan't it, DO IT.

well  first- girls dont make it into cheerleading cuz they are "pretty" they make it in to cheerleading by being good at moves, flexible, spirited and all around good at cheerleading. since you do gymnastics and tumbling, the flips and jumps should be easy for you. it sounds like you really want to be a cheerleader. but dont think that just cuz your pretty, you should be one and will make it on the squad. not to be mean, but sayin you'd be good cuz your really pretty is a lil shallow. thats not what cheerleading is about. no one can force you to do anything. do what you want to do, not what others want or think. and take it seriously!

first off. dont worry about your friends, if you wanna cheer. cheer, its a great experience, and you make some of the best friends. If they're your real friends, they'll support you no matter what, and If you dont LET them think that they can force you into anything you're fine. Follow your heart, because in the end, thats the only thing that matters. If you're happy with what you're doing, everything else will fall into place!

Do what you want...your friends are just acquaintances for the time being....your true friends will still be around to hang out with after you are done growing up....do worry about your friends so much...do what makes you happy...and do what is best for your future...always think about your future, how a decision you make now will affect your future.

Where you state" I'm really pretty", is a little self-absorbed. But who cares about the negativity. If you enjoy it and it isn't hurting anyone or you. Then go for it.

Deffo go for it! 
But when you're with your friends tell your them about how you hope you don't end up like the other cheerleaders and that if you start getting like them, for them to bite you? :)

But go for it!
