Gender stereotypes in schools and friends


Once I was eating lunch with my friends 

I told them I wanted to try out for the football team, they were shocked 

They said that girls don't play football and it was for boys 

they teased me about it, they made jokes about it 

Soon the boys found out and they teased me too

but I tried out and made it on the team

I learned that some people won't understand

They might tease you about doing the things you love to do
