So I think I am pretty good at basketball and apparently the coach does too or else he wouldn't have choosen me to be on the team. Right? At least that what I think. Everyone at my school is suprised that I made the team and now all the (3) girls that didn't make it are making fun of me and saying that I'm not good and that I shouldn't have made it and they should have. All I want is for people not to talk about me and say congradulations. You know? I don't know what to do. I cried in second period when I found out what people were saying. It hurts my feelings to know that I am getting talked about. Especially behind my back. What should I do. Please Help. Thanks.
Also how do I know if my guy friend likes me. He is always giving me signs like I like you signs but I am afraid to ask him and if I did ask him how should I ask him.
Please Help.
Thanks to everyone who does.
Krissi

why waste time worrying about what other people think about you making the BB team? You made the team so who cares what they think? People are always gonna talk about you. Sometimes it's good things they have to say, and other times it can be mean, hurtful things. You can't get caught up in what is said one way or the other. Don't let people's words drive you to tears. It should only be hurtful is what they say about you is true. If it don't apply, let it fly!! (I don't remember where I heard that, but it's a simple concept to go by.)
As for your guy friend, keep him as a friend. You can only complicate things by trying to move from a friendship to a serious relationship. I'm not sure what you're mistaking "I like you" signs with, but most boys are shameless flirts anyways so don't take it very seriously. Hope I helped some way or another.

Don't worry about the gossips! you made the team and they did not! they are jealous and try to make you feel bad about it. You should not and instead should be very proud of yourself for making the team and work really hard to improve as a player. If the coach chose you instead of somebody else it is because you are better!!!!
About the guy, just ask him! what is the worst that can happen. If he gives you signs that he likes you that is probably his way of telling you that he does without having to right out and tell you (most guys are shy and are afraid of being rejected and therefore will not come forward and tell you that they like you)
Good luck and keep on practicing!

Don't worry about what other people say. If they dis you because you made the team, they are just jealous. Prove them wrong and play your hardest ;)
Since I am a guy, I don't know how you should ask him. I know that I would try to find a girl alone when I ask her out, but you may be more confident with a friend nearby. If a guy likes you, he will go out with you if you ask. Reciprocate your interest in him by giving him some signs of your own before you ask him.
When you do ask (and you should) just be cool and nice.
Good luck on the court and with the boys!

first the people talking about you are jealous so ignore them and walk with your head up cause if they had what it took they would have made the team feel proud and look at them and smile and as far as your friend just ask him straight out at least you will know one way or another good luck PS congratulation on making the team

People in JH and HS are petty and stupid like that. They're jealous you made the team. When you hear that, just remember, you were CHOSEN by the coach, they we NOT.
The only way to see if you friend like ya is to ask him out to spend some time. See if sparks fly after that.

when ppl gossip and talk about you behind your back it is because THEY have a prob. not you.. jealousy , envy, nothing better to do, inmaturaty, they all account for reason ppl do it.. dont worry about it.. dont worry about ppl congratulating you either.. at your age ppl just do not think about that sort of thing... maybe you do, you are maybe a little more mature than they are !!! so hold your head up high and smile and let them be who they are and YOU be who YOU are... as for the guy... not sure... maybe just strike up a convo. with him, in a friendly way, and see how it goes... break the ice with him by asking him to go to a movie with you ?? as friends !! feel the situation out, give him an opening ... maybe he is shy ?? God bless

I think the girls who didnt make the team are talking about you because they are trying to help boost their egos at not making the team. Dont take it personaly. They feel bad and hurt I am sure that they did not make it, and are taking it out on people who did make the team.
If you think your guy friend likes you, why not invite him to come out and watch you play some basketball? Then you can , swish swish dunk dunk and all that good business! congratulations, and good luck!

they are obviously jealous that they didn't make it and you did. the coach must have seen something in you that he didn't see in them so just ignore them, all they want is a reaction out of you. don't give them the satisfaction As for the other question just ask him who he likes and if he blushes or won't tell you then its you he likes, trust your intuition, if he acts like he likes you and you notice it then he most likely has feelings for you

Okay, first of all, you know what they say does not matter.
Iv'e been through something similar, and i know it hurts. this will all blow over i no time at all, trust me.
people will get bored of focusing on your faults, and start focusing on others.
so just ignore them when they bring it up, the less reaction you show to their comments, the faster it will go away. good luck!
