Hey my fellow bloggers again!
One topic I really want to hit on is the stereotyping of cheerleaders, to me this is really important since I'm a male cheerleader, and the way that people think about cheerleaders. Here is a few links that you may find useful: Stereotyping of male cheerleaders, a good link for male cheerleaders! Like I said that this is a very important topic to me, so I really am going to make a large post! I would love for all of you to comment, or even comment with links to other good sites that would help me blog about!
First, the definition of stereotype is to categorize individuals or groups according to an oversimplified standardized image or idea; this is a perfect definition of stereotyping. The way that people think of especially male cheerleaders is horrible! Really, me being a male cheerleader, I have enough of the things that people talk about, and the stereotyping of a male cheerleader! They say, “He’s gay since he cheers,” “Look at gay boy walk,” et cetera, I really have had enough! The nasty rumors that I hear about me are just horrible, it really needs to stop! Now! It can only stop, if you tell people to just take 1 minute to look at any of my posts, this one, or even just my blog! Spread the word about this horrible topic!
Next, there’s the bullying; the dreadful part. Just Google search Cheerleaders Committed Suicide from Bullying, you’ll get pages and pages and pages of results, really, it’s a horrible thing! Just take the initiative to stop the bullying, harassment, et cetera, just by talking about my blog, and share about it, spread the word! Please, from me, the cheerleader, many will say the same; we don’t need anyone to be taking their life, just because of selfish and rude people!
