Is there anything wrong with being a male cheerleader?

I’m a “cheerleader” I guess you could say. I usually like to say that I’m “on the cheer team”, sounds better that way I guess. :\ I’m the only boy on the team.

I’m going into high school next year and I’m wondering if I should try out for the cheer team. It seemed like it wasn’t as big of a deal in middle school, but the high school team is a big deal. I guess I’m asking, do you think it’s a bad thing to do? Have you known any boy cheerleaders in high school and were they treated badly? Should I quit while I’m ahead?

I really like doing it and that’s why I want to try out for the high school team, but I don’t want to get beaten up for it or anything. I wish I wasn’t so embarrassed about it, but I can’t help it.
