A girl in my class heard me talking with some boys about football. We were talking about our favorite teams and I said the Bears and the Colts, Then Mari chimed in saying, “Elizabeth, you like football, that’s crazy lol.” (Mari is the most popular girl in my class.) Then I said, “Yeah, so, it doesn’t matter.”
Then the other day she came up to me when I was packing my backpack and said, “That’s your backpack? When are you getting a girly one?”
I said, “Next year.”
Mari said, “Have you ever thought about covering it in jewels to make it less boyish” and I said, “No thanks I like it.”
So, should I be more girly? Leave advice below please!
We think it’s totally cool to love football and have a backpack that isn’t sparkly and pink! If you want to be more girly, go for it. If you don’t want to, don’t! Just be yourself. 
No one should tell you that you should change who you are.
Do you have advice for Elizabeth? What would you do if you were her? Share what you think in a comment below!
Do you rock tomboy style?

NO WAY!!!! Be who YOU are! So what rather watch a football game than go get your nails done? Me 2! Example:
Friend: Want to go to the Mall?
You: No thanks, gonna watch a Patriot’s game with my Dad.
Friend:UGHHH! Your way to much a Tomboy!
You: No I’m not, like who I am no matter what anybody else says!
no way! be you
Stay the way you are. Mari is probaly just jealus that you were playing sports with her crush.

i think you should just be your self i like to be super girly but that is my choice what ever u want to be is perfect for u
just be yourself and be nice and show everyone the real you!-Kayla
Look Liz,Be who you want to be.I mean Mary is being herself by being girly,so why can’t you be yourself and be sporty.Also,sporty is much better than being girly.I mean if you’re going or want to be girly,you would spend hours at the mall and spa,AND NO ONE LIKES THE MALL!!!!!!
hey I love the mall.\/.
Listen Lizzy, you are beautiful and kind and very unique!!!!! Thats great!!!! If u went to my school I would totally take u under my wing and give you advice. But u don’t so….. But remember u are very talented !!!!!!! Express u!!!!! All my friends are Tom boys. But they accept me cuz I’m girly and I accept them even though they are Tom boy!!!!! Crazy ya?
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
(Not really it’s normal) But just smile with ur head up high! Also tell ur teacher that she is bothering you! That should totally help u! And if they don’t accept u for who u are its their loss of a really good friend!!!!! Just Be You!!!!
Of course you don’t have to be more girly unless YOU want to! Mari is not the boss of you - you are! You are who you are and you should be proud of it! Mari is just being a mean, selfish jerk and you shouldn’t listen to her teasing and taunting. Who cares if you like football? She shouldn’t. You are who you are, and that’s that. And all of us FPgirls love you that way! You have your own style, and personality, and you shouldn’t have to change your interests because a popular girl tells you to. Sparkle and shine the way you are! Just ignore Mari and do what you want to do!
Rock on!
Shine bright like a star!
BeYOUtiful!

Just do what you want to , it doesn’t matter what other people think i have that same problem to.
Iluvnumber6, thanks! I’ve read those books actually! But getting even with mean girls is mean too. It’s icky! But thanks for the advice! I hope I could get to know u better! Maybe ME and u can chat in the post chit chat fpdanielle posted! I’d love to get to know u!
Thanks for making me smile. I told my mom and she told the principal. Is that getting even??????????
I think you should ignore her and just do what you want to do. I like football and stuff like that too, and I never listen when people are mean to me about it.
You should be true to yourself you should pick your own style. You should also pick your own backpack it doesn’t matter what kind of backpack you have it matters if you like your style. Next time she does that just ignore her and be true to yourself. You can be a tomboy if you want to your choice. She may be popular but she can not tell you who to be.
i <3 football

Ignore Mari! she can’t tell you to be girly or not, if she tells you something mean about loving sports and stuff just tell her “I like Football and why does it matter to you?”
I hoped i helped but if YOU want to be girly but still tom-boy wear a bracelet that is engraved with your favourite team the Bears or something like that

Mari does not have the right to tease you like
that! Your style is important to you, and you
should shine the sparkle of who you are!
You are a tomboy and you should be proud
of it!! Tell Mari you have a style and you’re
sticking to it!!! Hope that helps!!!
DUDE IT DONT MATTER!!!!!!!!!! IGNORE HER
