12 Struggles Of A Cheerleader, As Told By 'Bring It On'
Today Show

Growing up as a cheerleader, you experience more struggles than ever imaginable. Whether it's because of falling, breaking a bone, getting kicked out of practice, or dealing with the attitudes of teammates or rivals, cheerleading isn't all sparkles and smiles. Luckily "Bring It On" knows exactly what we feel.

Here are the daily struggles of a cheerleader, as told by the classic cheerleading movie:

1. When your coach tells you (multiple times) that you're replaceable.

2. When you save a stunt that should've fallen.

3. When people say, "Cheerleading isn't a sport."

4. When choreography runs into your lunch break.

5. When you don't do well at a competition.

6. The spirit stick... enough said.

7. When you have practice, two exams, homework, and no time for sleep.

8. When you have to deal with the attitudes of your rival.

9. When your coach says "last full out" but you know that really means 20 more full outs.

10. When you're on a co-ed team.

11. When your teammate calls out of practice sick so your stunt can't go up.


12. When your coach kicks you out of practice for one fall.


But, through all the struggles, you wouldn't trade it for the world.

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
