I always get picked last in PE?
The bottom line is that YOU are going to be the ultimate winner. I can tell you from personal experience. Your description of what happens in gym class is not new -- my friends and I experienced the same thing back in the 1960's. You're living though the period of life when the "popular" kids and the "talented at sports" folk have the upper hand. That period ends quickly, and most of them come crashing down with a painful "thud." College opens up a whole new world of people who are smarter, more open minded, and kinder than those you are dealing with now, and the days of "being chosen last" will simply be a distant, vague memory. I'd like to be able to tell you that there are ways to end your problem immediately, but you are too smart to buy into a lie. The right thing to do is focus on the areas where you are talented and successful, do your best to tolerate the gym class, and hang on to the fact that your turn will come. It will, indeed. And when your turn comes, it lasts for the rest of your life, not just the handful of years of high school.
Why am I always picked last?
Ever since elementary school whether it s gym or any class people always pick me like sorta " the fat kid in gym class". Today was the first day of classes at college and there were five students picking for groups. Like I said I was happened to be picked last. I then got upset when the teacher told me to go to the first group and said "if no one wants me in their group I work alone" I also yelled out "I guess I m not good enough to work wit"h as I was leaving. Now since it was only the first day and I cooled down. Should I go back or drop the class. I know I messed up but A part of me don t want to drop the class because I don t want to waste time and to get the course over with but what should I do
I'm always picked last. Any Advice?
I used to be one of those kids too. Not because I wasn't athletic, just because I was a loner and not popular. So I came up with an idea and talked to the gym teacher. I let the teacher know of the situation and asked if she could instead make me the "picker" For some reason she listened to me and when I picked people I picked everyone that usually got picked last or next to last, you know the runts of the gym class. It was a statement that I'll never forget. Personally I think this "school yard pick" is something they should have done away with along time ago. Just keep in mind that you may have more pull then you think you do. Talk to the other kids in class that are also picked last or next to last. You may have more friends on your side if you just look around and notice that your not the only one being picked on or bullyed and if you band together its then strengh in numbers. My best friends in high school ended up to be the school nerd, the school slut, and an over weight girl who thought that everyone in the school didn't like her. We pretty much had our own table in the cafateria and we where probably labeled as "The loosers" , but the table was a place of safety to be our selves and was respected with in its own right. You also need to learn to stick up for your self and to ignore the pestering of bully's. I'm not saying getting into physical fights. I'm just saying, telling them like it is.
Always, ALWAYS picked last???
It would be best if you could just learn to not care what order you are picked in, but of course that would be against the human need to be accepted, so that's asking way too much of anyone. Therefore, the best thing to do is to show them that it might be in their best interest to pick you first. Here is what you can do: Since you are a really good athlete, do your best to make sure that the team you end up on ALWAYS wins. Put everything you have into it. If you do that, it will be hard for people not to notice and start wanting you to be on their team. Popularity only gets you so far. There comes a time when people start wanting to see results. Show people that you can get results and they will want to have you around...even if you aren't the most popular person in the school. :)

Please help! Always getting picked last for PE?
I'm really shy and quiet all the time but I do have friends. I mostly just try to be neutral and stay out of everyones way, I really don't talk AT ALL to anyone but my friends. My PE class is mixed with 7th graders (i'm in 8th grade) theres basically the "popular" 8th graders and then the "popular" 7th graders. Today for softball we had 2 team captains, a popular 8th grade girl and a popular 7th grade girl, and out of everyone, I was basically picked last. It was between me and these two girls who didnt even speak english. I was still picked last. I'm not horrible at sports, I'm actually average or a little above average, but i'm one of the top milers for girls in my class. I also have a 4.0 GPA But I still get picked last EVERY TIME. Even by the 7th graders. Even though I don't show it, it really does hurt my feelings. And they cheat at softball, well everything too. Any advice for me? Schools almost over and they aren't going to the same high school as me. And please don't say "improve your athletic skills, or practice".They don't choose on skill, but on popularity since all the popular girls picked their popular friends and then they started picking my friends and I ended up being last.
Why am I always the one to get picked on in a group of people?
The answer resides in your question. When you ask yourself "why am i always...picked on", it shows your insecurity and lack of self confidence - you've immediately moved into the "poor me" syndrome. This subconscious thought then becomes the pattern you weave, what you transpire into your reality. To walk into a group of people has you uncertain & anxious. This then feeds into the body language & facial expressions you portray. Simply said, the body reads: i am a victim - "pick on me" it becomes stamped across your face. The vibration you radiate is like an antenna signal that you broadcast to the group of people - stand in the mirror or replay a video of yourself, so that you can see. This exercise alone will assist you to move into your own power of being. Instead of worrying about what everyone is thinking of you, which is your ego moving in, start deflecting the mirror back on others, take the time to study their self, by shifting your focus, you change your thoughts & those inhibitive patterns fall away.
Picked last in gym, help please?
Okay, I'm not trying to be over dramatic or anything, but I am really getting sick of being picked close to last in gym class. I'm either always 3rd to last, 2nd to last, or just last, and whenever I go on the teams, everyone is always yelling "no" at the gym teacher. It's really starting to get to be to the point where it is hurting my feelings. I'm not good at sports, it's not like I'm out of shape or anything, I'm just not good at sports. The only sports that I am good at are the ones like tennis and golf, which we never play. I'm sick of this happening, and I don't have that much longer of gym left, but I have it at the very beginning of the day and no matter what mood I am in, that always makes it worse. It just makes me really angry because I'm smart, so whenever I'm in an actual class, people are always glad to have me in groups, but when I'm in gym, people shun me. It just seems like a double standard that shouldn't be there and in all honesty, it makes me feel terrible about myself and I feel worse and worse everyday about this. I'd rather not tell the gym teacher either because then he'll make a big deal about it because he's not that good at keeping things like that private, if you get what I mean. Any answers that would help me cope would be great, thanks.
