Want to quit because I'm getting bullied?

Life's too short - find another hobby.

Lucy, I could say lots of sympathetic things to you to make you feel better; however, doing that would not be helpful.

You are going to meet a lot of girls like this over your lifetime; and unless you learn to let their criticism go in one ear and out of the other; you won't be able to survive your adult life easily.

You know that you do your best; and that's all you do need to take into account. You must close your ears to negative comments. However, you also need to speak with your coach and tell him what is happening with the girls in your group.

You'll do great in the nationals, but get your coach on board with the situation.

First off, sorry this is happening to you! I totally get it, even though luckily I wasn't bullied a whole lot, I saw the drama bulls&@t and clique bs that happened--though I wasn't in cheer, I was in competitive dance and the dance team back when I was in High School. I kept to myself, so I had like one or two friends within my whole dance career because I refused to back-stab anyone. Sorry for the long backstory. Any how, how I got through it (because yes, sometimes I did get picked on if I did the wrong thing here and there) was to just brush it off. It's not easy, but just realize it for what it is, they're just being a b@tCh. If that really doesn't work and you still feel this upset, just quit it. I know people say "don't give up or quit" but life is too short to deal with people who are just plain horrible.

Hope this helps! And you are not alone!

Tell your coach that you cannot work with these girls because you are being bullied and losing sleep so you know you would do terrible at the regionals and please replace you. Some people say brush it off but really if you can't take that pressure what difference will it make in your life 10 years from now?

probably not one darn bit.. pull out and enjoy your life its too short to deal with obnoxious people.

Hello there! (: okay, it sounds like u are getting bullied, typical teen girl behavior!

though you should not stress over this. some girls are like that because they think that u are better

than them in there own mind, and every time u mess up, they laugh because it makes them feel better, obviously you make it to level 3 right? dont be so sad, u are not mean like them thats why u cry.. yeeaah they are giving u ****, u can tell the coach if u want to its not going to make a difference. u just gotta keep trying and everytime they laugh at u just, tell ur self ok, keep trying. hope this helps!(:

Talk to your coach anyways. Let her know what is going on, and how it is making you feel. She will talk to them. but don't quit, because might be what they are wanting. Stay strong, and talk to someone. They can help, but they have to know what's going on first.

And besides that... shrug them off. They're just idiots who think belittling and demeaning others will somehow make them better than others. It don't work like that. Just remember, you're better than they are, they know it, and will do anything to cut you down. Don't give up. : )

And talk to your coach. Let her help.

You MUST tell the coach and get into another group or drop out, no sense in going though all this torment.

I mean really? you're not really being bullied here. being bullied is being chased down, beaten up and having your lunch money stolen everyday.

I agree with your mom, you need to learn some coping skills. maybe your coach can teach you how to cope instead of running home crying.

Remember that girl who quit? Neither does anyone else...

Bully them back.
