Sarah<p>Your son has my sympathy, but he also has my encouragement!! Tell him to get into his tights, and get with ballet!!! He will love what it does for his body. The teasing is something he'll just have to put up with. Most of us guys have gone through similar experiences with know nothing jerks who tease and torment those that choose a life in ballet. The benefits will far out weigh the downsides!![/i] URL of own homepage (optional):  Name of homepage (without the homepage will not show!):  URL of a picture (optional):       Tags for smilies [neener]   [lurk]   [fire]   [grmpf-blue]   [grmpf-red]   [grmpf]   [brood-blue]   [brood-lilac]   [brood-red]   [brood]   [heart-pink]   [heart]   [kiss]   [normal]   [oh-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [oh]   [acidic-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [acidic]   [smile-orange]   [smile]   [pointed]   [updown]   [twinkle]
