I WANT IN ON THE GAME!!
Hey Brandon, I’m always super excited to play games during PE class. But the thing is, some people HATE when I’m on their team! Like in Basketball, nobody passes the ball to me, even if I’m open.

I’M THE ONLY TOMBOY I KNOW!!!
Hey, Nikki! I’m the only tomboy I know. I wear boys’ sports clothes, have boyish habits, and REALLY enjoy sports. And while I love my friends, none of them can really relate to that.

When a girl has mad skills on the basketball court
Dude! There’s a girl on my basketball team in my PE class that’s so good, she’s better than me, and I’m a guy. She can outshoot, out dribble, and basically out play me on the court.
