I seriously hope that the girls that are bullying Riley aren't on her high school team, that makes high school cheer look so bad.
My younger cp was co-captain of her junior high cheer team and was bullied by the captain and the captain's BFF who was also a cheerleader. It all started when my cp was voted as co-captain. I guess they thought since it was her second year cheering and it was the third year year for both of them that they deserved it. The cheer coach contributed to it all to make matters worse. The girls were encouraged on by their mothers. They had turned a lot of the team against cp except the younger girls. It was much like Dakota and Riley describe--no one would talk to her in her entire grade. It was horrifying and disgusting.
We tumble at the gym where those girls do all-star. We have tried to avoid going when we know they will be there. The "captain" was there last week. I hope that they don't all show up this week just to try to get to us. I wouldn't put it past them.
We switched schools out of district. We tried to work with the school, but it all fell on deaf ears to the administration. So much for anti-bullying policies. Luckily, a lot of people in town know what happened and we have gotten a great deal of support.
