So I grew up playing lacrosse and enjoying most sports and I still do today. I was often competitive and had more guy friends than girl friends. I have always believed in gender equality and don't like gender stereotypes of people. I was bullied in seventh and eighth grade, but high school was great for me during the first few years. In sophomore year, I joined the gymnastics team and had lots of fun; I felt I was where I belonged. Yet toward the middle of the season (late august), a guy called me weak and was being sexist, but I let that memory go, thinking it was gone. Until junior year of high school after gym class, (march) a guy was also being sexist and called me ugly so it triggered the memories again since I didn't have the support of my gymnastics teammates, being that I had to quit after ap classes. Junior year was a bit tough, but i had friends and i enjoyed most of my classes. however, after that incident in march, I started feeling self-conscious of myself thinking I wasn't good enough as a girl. also there had been other events that had upset me before hand that had piled up so i felt a bit overwhelmed and come the summer time i was very insecure and wanted to hide myself. i admit i have always been a tomboy, but there is a feminine side to me. so i'm not sure whether i want to be female or male. lately, i want to be classified with no gender.
