(well theirs no sports sub forum, so this is the closest)
Recently I've been thinking getting into wrestling. But im afraid to join because im an 8th grade and rolling around the ground with a guy on top of me would be wrong.And i would be the only girl.My brother used to wrestle with me. So im not sure if i should join or not.(advice?)

There's nothing wrong with rolling around and wrestling with a guy.
There's only your comfort zone.
If you really want to join, don't feel intimidated by anything in terms of gender. I think it's wonderful that you want to participate in a dominantly male sport.

 If you want to do it then more power to ya. I encourage you to do it! We need more ladies in a male dominated sport.

Yumi the ducky (well theirs no sports sub forum, so this is the closest) Recently I've been thinking getting into wrestling. But im afraid to join because im an 8th grade and rolling around the ground with a guy on top of me would be wrong.And i would be the only girl.My brother used to wrestle with me. So im not sure if i should join or not.(advice?) i love to wrestle with my brother rofl although my dad doesnt like it -_- you dont have to join if YOU feel that a guy on top of u is wrong. if other people feel this way, who cares?? if you dont join the club, wrestle with your brother wink

I agree, go for it! : D Well, if they act perverted when you're wrestling them, talk to the coach or report them for sexual harassment.
If it's any help, there was a girl at my school on the football team. Just one. But she's done it for at least two years now. 3nodding

You should do it. heart
If it's what you want to do, then there should be nothing stopping you from doing it.
If the guys aren't comfortable rolling around with you, then it's their own problem. smile
I wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose to do. biggrin

I hate to say this, but if it's mostly boys, don't join.
It's not because you're weaker, or that they're afraid to hurt you, but it's horribly awkward for both parties -- especially for the male.
They'll put you in the same weight group, obviously, so it's not like you can't beat the crap out of the guy.....but, most importantly, you have an unfair advantage because most (decent) guys will be so worried about touching you inappropriately.(it's unavoidable. There are very legal moves avoiding crotch-grabbing and chest-smushing.) And it's shameful to beat a girl down like a guy(in their minds) but on the flip side it's embarrassing to get dominated by a girl.
I know how you feel, though.
The girls water polo team might not work out this year, again..
(due to severe lack of interest)
So I'll be practicing with the boys team...but can't play the games. D;
(scrimmages are fine, they aren't that competitive)
It's unfair..but you know, that's life? =/

I say go for it! I had a friend who was on the wresting team in 8th grade, it was no problem for her. All the girls in the school were rooting for her.
