Courtney Proves Girls Are Just as Tough as Boys

Submitted By: Courtney | Age: 12

Hey peeps. My name is Courtney and I’m 12 years old. I’m in middle school now so most of the girls are frilly and carry pocketbooks. (GROSS!!!) So me and this group of like 3 girls all decided to steal the football from the eighth grade boys. So there like okay fine. So were playing and I get the ball and a kid comes in to tackle me and his buddies are all like “Hey dude stop! You can’t tackle her shes a girl!” I was real mad but I didn’t lets them see. So I threw a long shot to my friend Angie. When the boys got the ball back, I ran up and tackled a kid who was on the Football TEAM!!!!! Ever since I tackled him, they’ve been tackling us with no problem. Girls are just as tough as boys!!!
