The good stuff

    Some of the girls get jealous when their teammates do a better job than they do. The show features a lot of intense competition, but also some good role-model behavior for teen girls (working hard, juggling activities and good grades).
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Some of the girls on the show have boyfriends, and one of the girls is accused of cheating on her beau. One episode features some suggestive dancing.
  • Language:

    One of the moms, when frustrated with her daughter, calls her a "little snot."
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    I loved it i think any cheerleader would.

    well i love cheerleading it is my favorite thing to do. i think if you really like cheerleading then you would research it and study it to see if you can make your self progress. but i have to say cheering is a dangerous sport and you shouldnt attempt it unless you are really into keeping with it and not giving up at anytime even if you do feel like you can't do something. always be careful when your cheering! but remember to always have fun and it doesn't matter what faces you make just be the best cheerleader that you can be! always be yourself and other people will try it too.<3morgan<3
