Don't Quit!
If they do anything really mean, or say something offensive or inappropriate, tell your parents or coach. Don't let them push you around, just do what you're good at: FOOTBALL!

Don't Beat Yourself Up
Well guess what, no matter how you put it, that is an act of sexism, the same thing that kept women from voting. ... As for your friends, you HAVE to tell them what's going on...aren't they called friends for a reason? Don't they have to support you? I'll tell you what, keep playin', if you love it, don't ever stop.

Do I Smell Jealousy?
I think the guys KNOW that you're helping the team, and may be a little jealous. I play football too, mostly with my guy friends in my neighborhood, but they respect me because they know I'm really interrested in football. Anytime they talk about 'not needing a girl on the team', tell them to shut up, and if they have a problem, they can talk to the coach, who chose you for the team, and knows you're worth it.

No don't quit
If you like it, screw what the guys think, sooner or later they'll realize that you can play just as well as them. I played for two years until I ripped my calf. I went through the same thing, but if you love the game don't quit because the guys are being jerks, they'll realize that maybe they really do "need a girl on their team."

Do what you want!
Don't listen to other people. If you want to play football and it's really what you want to do then play! If they are real friends they should understand. I'm not saying that if they don't understand they aren't your friends but they should understand that's what YOU want to do!

Look, it doesn't matter what they say they're just a bunch of boys. And you're a girl doing what you love to do. Besides when they lose, because you're not there, they will realize that they did need your help.

Just Challenge Them..!!
I think you should ignore what your friends say 'cause it's your wish what you want to do or play. As in the case of the boys you should also ignore them. C'mon you helped them in their first victory. And whenever they say something really rude run your brains hard and say something that's far more rude. Guys like challenging girls. Or better still you can get one more girl mate along with you to play football so that you have at least one girl to confront them along with you...

Don't give up
Of course not. It is not what others say--it is what's in your heart. Always remember that there are professional women's leagues just waiting to burst into the limelight one day, and then everyone will finally realize that football is not limited to men, and you'll have the last laugh.

No Way!
You shouldn't let what other people say keep you from doing something you love. You should talk to your friends and express how you feel, and try to get them to be more supportive. Also, maybe hunt the school for another football lovin' girl to join the team - that way, you won't be facing your critics alone.
