The Male Cheerleader

I am 15 years old and go to a Catholic school in South Carolina.  I am also on the cheerleading team. I get harassed every day at school for being the only male cheerleader.  These include being called, gay, fag, and other names even though I am straight and have a girlfriend.  Sadly this isn't the only thing that there doing.  Taking my jacket and wiping up their spills, slapping me in the back of the head during class are a few other things.  I kept turning the other cheek at first and trying to ignore them.  That didn't work.  I talked to my parents and they supported me in my efforts to stop them.  So then I stood up and told them I am who I am and to get over it.  It has helped and it has slowed down.  I won't quit doing what I want because some people are ignorant.
