The Cheerleaders

The definition of media is any format or platform that carries, presents, or communicates information, so everything surrounding us would be considered media. A certain type of media that I will relate back to sociology would be a television show titled One Tree Hill.

The show itself, is centered around two half-brothers and how one is considered an outcast,…

activities, teams, and programs at any given high school. Along with these groups comes stereotypes like “jocks are the popular kids who run the school and don’t have to work for anything”, “band kids are misfits who weren’t accepted anywhere else”, “cheerleaders are peppy airheads who are very ditzy and at the top of the social totem pole”, “people on the quiz team are nerds”, “students who participate in drama club are weird outcasts who nobody likes”, and “student council…

I have been an outstanding and very dedicated Cheerleader and to prove it, I was previously awarded with the Most Valuable Player award during my junior year of high school. For the 2015-2016 varsity cheerleading team I earned the position as a team captain. This position has rewarded me skills that will…

at us…Happy Birthday dear Alan Fer-kooooh.” This shows that she is different from the rest of the students. Also when Stargirl was at a basketball game and she was a cheerleader and it says that “...the other team scores, the MAHS crowd sits glumly on their hands while Stargirl, alone, pops up cheering.

Schools in Florida are segregating boys from girls, and creating separate schools for each gender. Personally I would not like to go to a boys only school. Because if we got separated from girls we wouldn't be able to find a good partner, since you don't really know girls good. We would also be less experienced when it comes to socializing with girls. When the time arrives to talk to a female we will not know what to say to them, since we haven't talked to girls previously, and thus would…

Teenagers victimize themselves and try to get out of situations all the time, not thinking about what could happen or any ripple effects. In articles like Tinker v des moines, a cheerleaders vulgar message, and high school junior sues school districts, it expresses how stupid teenagers can be and how they think their opinion is better than the adults. And even though people might say it wouldn’t be the students fault or the teachers were being over strict, it was really the students in general.…

school I was a cheerleader, and most of my family and some of my friend said that I would never be a cheerleader. I didn 't have the personality or the pep, I wasn 't small like most cheerleaders , but I decided to try it out. At first I wasn 't sure if I would like it or even be good enough to make the team. But going through tryout practice with my friends that were cheerleaders, I realized that it was actually a really fun sport. If only I was openminded to the idea of being a cheerleader I…

they let me be a junior varsity cheerleader. I was so nervous about the first practice, but they seemed to be open to me cheering. This was all before school even started so I thought some of the people were nice, but others probably wouldn’t be. The first practice went great. Nobody even knew me, but they were friendly. Even the seniors were nice. I didn’t expect that at all. Throughout the cheerleading season, people quit and then there was only two cheerleaders for junior varsity. We began to…
