I am a student in high school in Hoover, Alabama. I think that women should be allowed to participate as equally in any sport or organization that men do. My administration has told me that I am not allowed to paint up for football games in a sports bra, like the guys in my grade often do shirtless. I am a member of national honors society, an academic letterman with cross swords award, and on the board of several clubs. I am extremely involved within my school and community. All I want to do is support my team by painting up in a sports bra for football games, but I am not allowed because I am a girl.
