Tameko enjoys playing on her school's volleyball team. she enjoys the physical activity and is proud of earning a place on the team, but this year, her friends have started making fun of all the school teams and clubs. they aren't making fun of her directly, but the friends have suggested that they don't think it is cool to play sports or have so much school spirit. tameko is starting to feel pressured to quit the team. what should she do? quit the team; image is important and playing volleyball is not worth the risk of losing friends tell her friends how much she likes being on the team; if they don't respect that, find some friends who do join a traveling volleyball team and don't tell her friends about it; what they don't know, they can't laugh at explain to her friends why they should love volleyball, and avoid ever hanging out with them again
