Dude, did you change your avatar? I kinda miss the old one, but I'm on board this one as well!
13iamgroot 13iamgroot

Yeah I changed it cause I just dyed the ends of my hair red and I wear it down more, but I couldn't find a way to do it part red, so i did the whole thing. I really liked my old avatar too.
moonlightwolf moonlightwolf

hey guys what's up? I was wondering if any of you guys play sports? I play volleyball in the winter/spring and I'm going to be on a swim team for the first time this April and thru the whole summer. that should be fun even tho I'm a pretty slow swimmerXD my friend thinks I'll be good tho cuz I'm tall (that helps with volleyball tooXD) oh yeah also how tall are u guys?? I'm 5'11" and I hope I don't keep growing;)
beachbreeze16 beachbreeze16

I have been doing karate for about 9 and a half years now, and i am only 5'3" and probably done growing. :)
inmemoryofcpr inmemoryofcpr

Hi! I'm 5' 1'' and I also hope I stop growing XD

I play soccer year round, swimming during the summer, and skiing during the winter. I bet you'll love swim team it is so fun, I thought I was going to be slow at first too, but once you get going, you improve really fast. Being tall really does help for swimming, I'm 5'7'' but pretty sure I'm done growing, but ya never know. I get so tired of everyone saying, "Wow, you're so tall!" I just wanna say, "Maybe you're just short!" but I don't. I mean that's how growing works people! Great questions @olliebob! I think I'm following you but if I'm not I will!
