In 5th grade, we had seperate P.E. classes. Boys gym, and Girls gym. I thought it was stupid as heck. I was friends with alot of the boys, so I would ask them what they do in Boys gym. They would always say they did something really fun and athletic. In girls gym we would always do something stupid, like dance, or stretch. I REFUSED to do most of it. On Fridays, both gyms would play dodge ball, which was very fun. Our Language arts teacher would always play dodge ball with the boys, but not the girls. Lots of girls would ask her why, and she’d say something like, “Boys can really play dodgeball.” or “Girls arent aggressive” I think Girls should be treated like boys, cause were both human.

Just because it says boys, doesn’t mean you can’t play. I joined the “boys” basketball team in the 6th grade because their wasn’t a girls team at the time. If there isn’t a girls team, then you should be able to join the boys team. Check with your school administration.

You don’t need to hate being a girl. Hate the fact that there is stil a stereotype that girls can’t play football. And then go out and find a league that will let you play.

i played football for almost 4 year, i was good, started every practice. then when game time came around i never got to play a secound. i told the coach’s and they said they fix it but still game after game i was not put in at all. even when the guy in my position was hurt they put someone else in. it was so bad that it was either get a lawyer or quit. i decidede to quit, i didnt want to look like i was forcing them to play me. but now i miss it like crazy, i cant even watch it anymore,i dont know what to do it has been a year without it and i am dieing inside. i play softball but it isnt even close to football. can anyone help me i want to play again but i am in college, and to young to play the girls teams. i am thinking about playing for college but i am scared, i dont want to have to fight about it anymore but i cant live without it.
