Answer 2

I hope when you're older and own a vehicle or a house, something you worked really hard for gets a brick thrown at it. Grow up! If your friend really did throw it without you realizing, then you need to find a new friend. She's really stupid, immature and irresponsible. If you're Mom does find out, just tell her the truth, that your stupid friend did it without you knowing until it was already thrown. But I'm sure you did know what was going on. You were both probably laughing about even though it was her arm that threw it. I hope you tards get in lots of trouble. Grow a brain. You obviously weren't raised right dumb hoodlum.

Answer 3

Well there's the goalie, they guard the net. Dribbling is basically when you run with the ball (you kick the ball when you run with it). Offense is who has the ball, and defense stays back by the net and waits for the opposing offense to come with the ball. That's all I remember, but this is from.. at least seven years ago. It's pretty basic, but I hope it helps!
