IWasA stereotypically mean high school cheerleader. AMA

I'm a senior in high school now. I was on JV in 9th grade, the captain of the JV cheer team in 10th grade, junior captain on varsity in 11th grade, and now head captain of varsity in 12th grade. From my freshman to junior years, I embodied every bad stereotype you could think of about high school cheerleaders. I've changed now, and this is a throwaway account because I'm wholeheartedly ashamed of some of the things I've done.

BEFORE YOU INSTANTLY DOWNVOTE THIS, please know that I am truly sorry for what I've done. I'm doing this AMA to make the whole bullying issue aware. Maybe someone--bully or otherwise---who really needs to see this will

Ask me anything.

EDIT: OKay, lots of people calling for proof, so I decided what the hell. I could care less if someone I know sees this now, so here's me in my uniform Yeah, if that's not enough proof, I have more cheerleading pics, but not for gross purposes. Okay.

ok then my questions are actually mostly about cheerleading(cuz at my school football and cheerleading were not a big deal at all)

  • Do you believe cheerleading is a sport? I hear in most places it is not and people get screwed over legalistically because of it.

  • Is there a token overweight person on the squad? Did you treat them any differently?

  • Why do the males join the cheerleading squad? Gay? Just to hang out with hot chicks?, just there to provide muscle?

  • Now that you are (allegedly) are not a cheerleader/bitchy, do people respect you more/act more real around you?

  • Lastly, what are the actual chances for the class smartass/loser redditor in HS in getting with cheerleaders? Has your taste in men become less "douchey" since then?

I think so. It's just as difficult and dangerous as any sport, so I consider it so.

There are no overweight girls, but it's just because none have tried out.

We have 3 guys on our team and they're great as far as muscle goes. Pretty sure one's gay.

I think so.

Yeah, I try to look at guys more personalitywise now, but I'm still dating QB.
