False hope

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, after suggesting to my daughter for a while that she should try out for a cheerleading team to become more confident, she went to tryouts. She didn't make the team and she's spent the last six hours in her room crying. FML

Now is she upset you pushed her into something she didn't want to do or because she didn't get something you convinced her she could do? Why do parents suggest really specific things? I mean, fair enough suggest stuff for her to get into, but give her a few options and let her pick one she wants to do.

Sorry but that's YDI for convincing her to try out for the team in the first place.

Kay, in defense of the mom... As far as we know, she encouraged her daughter to try out, she didn't "force" her to do it. And being involved in group things like that can help with confidence. I don't know about cheerleading in particular or her daughter in particular, but in my experience just going and doing something and meeting new people can give you more confidence.

Sorry mom but this was a lose lose situation. Even if she made it on the team she would be surrounded by the schools' most biggest shallow, bitches ever. And she would have to be one in order to fit in.
