Responsibility
Spiderman once said that with great power comes great responsibility. If you have super powers it's entirely your job to save the world. If you're as ordinary as I am, your biggest job would probably be to walk your dog...finish your homework....wash the dishes.
But even if you can't walk walls or fly or change things with a snap of your fingers, do you still totally not have responsibiltiy?
I mean, I can't do any of the above, but I'm still not totally responsibility free. (What heaven is that??) Nobody is, to tell the truth.
The thing about responsibilities is that they are like roots of a tree. Very strong. Like a commitment or bond. Once you're responsible for something or someone, you have to make sure it(whatever it is) happens and happens well. And if you don't make sure, you don't feel good about it because that means you aren't responsible. And it's not auch a great feeling. Trust me. I've been there.
Responsibiltity is like a privilege that your parents, guardians, friends give you. And if you prove you dont' have it, it's worse than being grounded. Because there's so much your parent's and other people let you do because they think you're responsible. They let you cross the street because they think you're responsible enough to watch out for cars. They let you make friends because they consider you responsible enough to choose the best person to share your feelings with.
Responsibilty is like a wrapper of a gift. You show you have it and the gift is the most precious thing you can ever get.

Cheerleading
My dad was watching a game and suddenly the cameras focused on a couple of blue clad ladies waving their pom poms, million dollar smiles spread on their faces.
Cheerleaders.
Now your reaction could be anything. YOu could smile at the word, shudder with fear or disgust, or just keep on reading indifferently.
People think cheerleading is superficial. Like it's some kind of acccessory. It's not even the icing on the cake. It's more like the silver balls that decorate the edges. They don't do anything.
But face it, a game's not a game unless it has those cheering girls.
And they are showing some spirit.
It's probably not easy to do all those cartwheels or human pyramids. And it's not like they get a lot of money or fame. How many of you will recognize the spotter for the pyramid at the hockey game you saw last night.
But at school, for girls, cheerleading is considered THE thing. Girls try out for cheerleading and if they make it it's like they've achieved unbelievable status.
So why don't guys cheerlead?
There is nothing girly about gymnastics or stunts or school spirit. It's just the short skirts and pom poms that don't really appeal to the male sex.
To quote from one of my favourite books 'Get real', It started off as an accessory to male sports.Now it's a sport on it's own.
