How do I regain respect on my rowing team w/ all boys. Only girl who wants to be treated with more respect.?

Question

I'm the coxin on the all boys rowing team @ my college. I'm a freshmen girl and I adore my sport with a passion and I love the guys on my team like brothers.After I have been with them for such a long time they treat me like another boy, and they give me a harder time because i'm the only girl. In the past I have kissed 2 boys when I wasn't on the team.I hear about it about everyday and I havn't kissed anyone in about 4 months. they also runion any time a guy approches me and scare them off

They will lock me out fo the ergg room in the cold for about 10 mins cause they think it's funny I don'tknwo the code.They burst in my room at 3 in the morning drunk and wake me and my hallway up

If they don't treat me with more respect when we get back on the water in spring things won't go as smoothly

recently the onther coxin said they said they don't want to be in my boat as a joke but that comment hurts me

How do I get respect on my team back and treated like a sister over a brother

Answer 1

i'm no doctor phil, so i apologize if my solution isn't the best way for you (apologies). So... I would just tell them the truth. Tell them that you're tired of the way they treat you, and you can tell them that if they can't change their ways, then you can just leave the team.

really sorry if that didn't help =(
