Today, I sent a text to my volleyball group chat congratulating everyone who made the school team, which I hadn't. Someone removed me from the conversation. FML
washcaps tells us more.

Hey everyone, OP here. (: First off, I would like to thank you guys for your nice comments, they made things better! And since I didn't have much room to explain, the group chat was consisted of the girls in the coed league we all played together in the winter, thus creating the chat. We all attend the same school and are all upcoming sophomores that tried out for JV. The competition was very hard. In the end the coach toke 6 sophomores, (all that played in same coed team) and 8 juniors. There were 9 of us in that didn't make it, also all 9 were in the chat. After I realized I was removed I was a little saddened and didn't quite understand why because it wasn't anything too much. A friend of mine that also didn't make it informed me that after I had been removed, she congratulated them too, and she had also been removed. So basically it's came into realization they aren't worth it and I'm more likely to try another sport but if I can't decide on one I might just practice more. Sorry it's long, and thank you if you read!

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

That is so horrible. Cliques and exclusivity are such a bitch. Forget them, you can join a different volleyball team like a club team!

Do marching band if ur school has one...it's amazing

Marching Band is a lot of work, but definitely worth. I'm currently in my 4th year of being in Pit.

Yess marching band is the best. A lot of blood, sweat and tears, but I'm on color guard/flag corp (a captain actually) and it brings me a lot of joy and satisfaction.

I read your explanation, and you should try rugby! sounds a little weird but I used to play volleyball and after not making the team because of politics. I tried another sport and rugby is THE best thing that had ever happened to me.

Maybe that can be a consideration.

10/10 would recommend, rugby is really fun and it makes you a badass

i agree with #33 rugby is by far the best sport out there. you'll for sure have life long friends. they become family.

just so you're not headed to a state of depression: you are appreciated.

Well if it's for the team which you aren't on, it kinda makes sense.

I'm fairly certain that OP clarified that the group was of people that didn't make it, and that the other girls in the group are just brats who can't tolerate sportsmanship.

Actually, I think the chat consisted of all the girls who tried out (at least the ones in her grade). I believe the ones who made the team kicked all the ones who didn't out of the chat.

The one time I tried out I didn't make the team. I wasn't a bad player but when I discovered one of the girls who wasn't a good player at all made it onto the team, I knew something was up. All the popular girls made it in; a group I was not part of. Joke was on them though. They lost EVERY game they ever played.
