So should girls and boys play sports together I played dodge ball with some other teenagers (mostly boys ) and I won a lot but I got fell on, hit in the face with balls a lot! And stepped on, and fell on, and squished I mean these guys were a lot bigger than me was this really a good idea?

Well, if you had fun and liked it then do it again, but if now you have lot's of bumps and bruises and regretted it then don't do it again. It's really your choice.

Just tell them to watch it. But hey, it's sports. Someone always gets hurt a bit.

I played for over a year with my brother in a basketball group where we had informal games every week. There was only one other girl, and she was pretty nasty, so I just stuck with my bro and some of the other guys I knew.
Most of the guys were over 5'8", and 20, although there were 4-5 that weren't. But it was a lot of fun trying to play against these big, tall guys that were waaaaayyy better at the sport than me
The only bad thing about it was the fact that we played on concrete, and I didn't have proper basketball shoes, so I ended up doing knee damage

I think that girls and guys should be careful when they play (especially) contact sports. Things can get awkward when hands end up in "off limits" places, if ya know what I mean....

I used to play touch rugby in a team with both boys and girls and it was all good... We had rules as in only tagging below the knee and stuff and we never had any problems. I guess it depends on who you are playing with.

Dodg ball and stuff should be fine...

I LOVE playing dodgeball! Do know the Medic version of it? That one is my favorite

Quirky wrote:

Yessssss I love Doctor Dodge ball.

I'm so good at it every single time I took out the opposite teams medic. They would all bad talk me and say "Oh no one is going to get me I'm the best."
I just say ok go to my side and stand in the back with a ball scanning the opposite team until I see some one who always no matter what is with another person and behind them. then I launch the ball and I throw it so that it hits them when they duck. If they'd stayed standing they would of been safe. But I love doctor dodgeball.

Sorry if this sounds like I'm bragging but I'm not.

Doctor Dodgeball is regular dodge ball but each team elects a doctor and a fake doctor and they have to remain a secret so the other team doesn't find out.
So if you get hit with a dodge ball you sit down instead of getting out, and then the doctor has to tag you to heal you so you can continue playing but the doctor has to do it in a way where the opposing team can't figure out who the doctor is, hence the fake doctor. To win you have to get the opposing's teams doctor out, either by catching their ball or hitting them.

Yeah it's really fun you should play it.

Lol, whenever we play that version I just forget about the Medic/Doctor sneaking around and we just form a human barrier around him. Then he can walk around and heal people with protection. The barrier people are basically indestructible because if they get hit the Medic is right there to heal them. Its so awesome!

It was kind of cool though because when I was reading a book about Desmond So as it talks about how they did the same thing. Since he was a high priority target, his men would cover him while he was trying to help someone else. Of course that didn't protect the men from getting killed but, ya know, its just interesting how we all have that same thought process of protecting those that can help us

Quirky wrote:
Yeah I read about him and watched the movie. But when ever we get hit we would shou,t MEDIC! MEDIC! MEDIC! I'm dying here MEDIC! But we would nick name one of the kids in my class Desmond when we play, b/c he is a really good medic.

Lol, yeah I know. It was so fun to get hit and fall down in agony crying "MEEDDIIICCC"! Its and awesome game

....until you remember that it was and is a very real reality from a lotta soldiers somewhere in this world

Sorry...I just killed the mood.

Oh my peanut butter! NO PUN INTENDED!!

:Facepalm:

I was going to reply saying that I absolutely love medic.

Then I saw Quirky's post.

And she has now ruined medic for me.

Thanks, Quirky.

I fear dodgeball over almost anything in the world.

Except spiders.

I hate spiders.

Don't look it up.

I also happen to be a significantly ignorant child. Significantly more ignorant than you, actually.

An Australian ARISE graduate's description of it wasn't enough for me, and I had to go scar myself for eternity by watching horror movies (aka, insane Australians trying to catch mutant spiders) on YouTube.

So. Moral of the story:

YOUTUBE IS DANGEROUS. ASK YOUTUBE TO SHOW YOU ANYTHING HORRIFIC AND IT WILL NOT RESIST. BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT YOU ASK YOUTUBE ABOUT.

Also (if you haven't already), DO NOT EVER RESEARCH THE HUNTSMAN SPIDER. OR ANY SPIDER, FOR THAT MATTER. YOU WILL BE SCARRED FOR LIFE.

You're welcome for preserving your sanity.

Also, I'm assuming you were being facetious in your first post. Correct?
