Don't give up! This is only your first year and you've already come this far. :) You'll keep improving if you keep working hard.

You shouldn't feel diminished by how fast "everyone else" on the team can go. If the coach doesn't pay the "slower" girls any mind because he doesn't want to work to cultivate new talent, that's his problem -- not yours. Try to focus on your own personal improvement instead of what girls on your team can already do. You've said yourself that you're just beginning and you're the only freshman on the team; I can guarantee you that those girls took a while to build up to a 6:00 mile too.


Good luck!

I'm pretty interested in this stuff too, but I'm too tired for a decent conversation at the moment. xD I identify as 'bisexual' to those who ask but I know aren't truly interested, I use 'pansexual' for people I think actually want to know. I'm not going to stop myself from falling in love with someone for a silly reason like gender identification. So, there you have it.

Anyway, THIS is a really interesting article I found I thought some people here might be interested in. :] I think it's refreshing to see the perspective of upper-mid class students that you know, explore, since it's not something I've had much exposure too. The media seems kinda afraid of it.

Oh gosh, there's that article again. I wouldn't recommend taking it at face value - the reporter took most of those quotes out of context and misrepresented joking comments as fact for the sake of making up a juicy story. I'm a senior at Stuy and knew some of the kids mentioned in that article in passing...they were a funny, outgoing, and not at all prudish bunch of friends, but they were hardly having makeshift orgies left and right in the hall.

The real story should have been that Stuy in general is probably a lot more tolerant of alternative sex/gender identities than your average public high school. I'm very appreciative of that fact being bi/pansexual myself, but the school still has a long way to go as far as complete acceptance is concerned.

17 years old, and 5'5/134 lbs. I'm about a size 7-9 now and will probably stay that way even if I drop a few pounds because of my Italian (pear-shaped) figure.
