Girls, and guys in some schools who yell and do tricks for the croud to watch, i hate cheerleaders, jocks are bad enouph with needing peaple to cheer them on.

One who carries out senseless acts of motivation supposedly for team spirit but really for hots from other guys.

Typically blonde or rich, highly attractive, bad speller, poor overall performance in school, air-headed fashion slut, cannot think for herself, is most likely to get pregnant or have a sexually-transmitted disease.

1. Sideline cheerleader- Cheers at other sports to get the crowd excited. Some schools only have this kind of cheer team. At most schools, this team is full of girls who are called skanks, but really it depends on the girl. Every team has sluts and skanks, cheerleaders are just known for it.

2. Competitive cheerleader- cheers against other teams from anywhere and everywhere. More intense for the cheerleaders, these girls are most likely hard core cheerleaders, but as like i said, every team has a slut. Competitive cheer is the kind of cheer that should be considered a sport. These girls are competing against other teams for trophies and awards. Not every school has a competitive team, but there is usual an All-Star team in your area.

A sport that most boys aren't tough enough to handle. It's HARD lifting people in the air, and no, its not just four feet. When those people fall on you it HURTS. In competitive cheer leading, in round 3, doing a 3 minute routine CONSTANTLY lifting these people in the air isnt easy, especially when you consider all of the different types of stunts there are. Round 2 is all gymnastics, so i dont know what some people are talking about when they say "cheerleading is jsut wanna-be gymnasts". I bet half the people reading this can't even do a cartwheel. yea, thats what i thought. and the fact that all we do is yell and prance around like a bunch of hoes? have you ever tried to yell, as loud as you can while lifting people in the air and doing back flips and stretching your body in ways it was never meant to go? didn't think so. and the coaches. OMG the coaches. if you think your coach is bad, you've never heard a cheer coach the day before a competition, and believe me, you don't want to. and if you think that we dont work as hard as the football team think again. one time i had to do OVER 1000 ab exercises....with out stopping. don't tell me cheerleading isn't a sport, because if you've never done it, you have NO IDEA what you're talking about.

A group of spirited young men and women who support their school's major and minor team sports, as well as supporting their communities and fostering school spirit.

Competitions are usually held in this sport.

A SPORT in high schools and universities.

Someone who leads other people to cheer. Simple as that.

Cheerleaders aren't always "slutty blondes". Lots of us have morals, and are trying to erase bad sterotypes various media channels give us. Some are even expected to be role models and can't swear or show any form of PDA while in uniform. We're required to have a grade average of B- or more in school, or else we're ineligible.

Granted there are some people who fit the stereotype of "Rich, skinny, bitchy blonde that cakes on makeup" but in reality we're so much more than that. Not all cheerleaders are skinny, some have to be bigger in size while stunting. I mean, you try twisting girls up in the air that are 100+ while keeping them balanced. Not as easy as it sounds (that goes for you too Mr. Superjock)

Cheerleaders are also very diverse and come from different ethnicities. Have you ever seen a Bring it On Movie (the third one had a good mix. Caucasian, African-American, and Asian-American)

Some cheerleaders can't wear makeup up or glitter either. We're athletes, not a beauty pageant.
