Probably because those who are saying cheerleaders are snobby are envious of the courage and athletic ability you gals demonstrate. I'm sure the 'gossips' would love to do what you are doing. It's wonderful you are a cheerleader!
Cheerleader is great experience to build your confidence and poise for the future. No matter where you go, or what you do, there will always be someone saying something. So hold your head up high and cheer your heart out!

Cheerleaders are typically people with outgoing patterns in their personality. Sometimes they're pushed by their moms who are trying to live vicariously through their offspring. Others are seeking approval from their parents when they first start or are told that their value is in their beauty. For all of these beginnings, they are generally rewarded for their outgoing characteristics and may come to believe that they are special in some way even though they have only acquired a rigid psychological pattern. It's not bad pattern, but like any pattern, in as far as it is rigid, it will eventually annoy someone else and either inculcate jealousy or some other response. Cheerleaders are often targeted because they have good-looking bodies, which leads to lots of problems because if they get this reinforced they may stop developing other parts of the personality which they will need when they grow older. In any event, you can help this whole stereotype by not being snobby yourself in helping others to recognize when there caught in this trap. People think cheerleaders are snobby because they've experienced this pattern and have been unable to assist the person in jiggling that particular distress. Some cheerleaders believe that if they stop being "cheery" they will lose the approval of others or their world will just come crashing down on them, and they are frozen in this behavior as well. These people deserve our compassion. Still others are looking for a path to leadership, but take a wrong turn. Still others use their snobby this because they have learned to manipulate instead of risking closeness.

o.k. To best answer your question I must explain the difference between popular and not popular.
Normally when you are popular you see the good in the world and keep a blind eye to the bad. They enjoy living life to it's fulliest, never letting anything keep them down. (They look for the best guy or girl, not who's availible or who do they think is in thier league, but the best) Sure they get thier bumps and bruises, but they pick up thier lives better.
unpopular looks at the negative in the world. They have formed the popular and unpopular groupings).
No, I'm not saying popular people are any better then unpopular; all I'm showing is the real difference.
The truth is niether group exsists in the "popular" circle. It's something the "unpopular" people made up so they could see another negative.
If you want to be "popular" all you have to do is have some self esteem. This will cause you to dress better, feel better, and generally make your life better.
The reason that "unpopular" people think "popular" people are snobs is simple. Would you want to hang out with somebody who smells, always brings up how bad life is, or any other negativity. Niether does the "popular" croud. They try to stay away from it, thus making them snobs.

It's just a stereotype. Not all cheerleaders are snobs,but the ones at my school are. For some people, those are the only CLs they know, so they figure all cheerleaders must be.
Pop Culture also plays a big part.

because they are usually the popular ones in the school, and people tend to think that cheerleaders as well as people who are popular are snobby, and with that they prey on the power and in turn act snobby...it's all a cycle really...

Generally speaking, cheerleaders have to maintain an image, a somewhat showy, glossy image, and to do that they have to keep that as a focus and keep their humanity, and friends outside the cheerleading circles at bay. That may be the reason for their "snobby" appearance.

Cheerleaders often form the core of the "IN" prep crowd in a school so many people just assume they are egomanicas. Stay who you are and the true popularity will come.

Cheerleaders will always be sterotyped because they have their own clicks that they hang around with do to their coach tells them to be like family, and not many people know that cheerleaders need to be close.
Hope this helps

because most of them are in the IN crowd and most of them think they are better than everyone else because they are a cheer leader. Its a status thing. And I hate to say it, but there is always one girl on the squad that is chubby, not popular, or boyish, or ugly. Token, or bottom of the pyramid, who knows. What is important is that you be yourself, and if you enjoy cheering, then cheer and dont worry about what others think...The most valuable thing that I learned in school...be yourself, the people that love you will always love you and the people that dont will not change. You are the one you have to please, because you are the one you have to live with, forever. Believe it or not, in five years, none of it will matter.

People think that because they usually are. When I was in high school, I was captain of a cheerleading squad. I had to constantly remind the girls to fight the stereotype of being stuck up or ditsy.
