This is an excellent question and it comes back to a similar one about volleyball uniforms. Girls wear spandex everything that often leaves _nothing_ to the imagination while boys volleyball (if there is a team) often uses uniforms that look more like basketball uniforms. Here's the thing:
No one is forcing anyone to wear something they don't want.
It really is that simple. I used to wrestle in high school and college. If you've ever seen what folk-style, grecko-roman style or free style wrestlers wear, there is nothing about the guy that you don't know. But we have to wear that because of the sport and safety requirements. If a guy doesn't want to wear the singlet, that's fine, he doesn't have to and he wont wrestle. Same thing goes with cheerleading, girls volleyball, swim team and any other sport that has a "revealing" uniform. If they don't want to wear it, they don't have to because they don't have to participate.
Now, many people (like the poster) will often start up a campaign to try and "fix" a uniform for one reason or another. The worst part about this is they often don't even speak to the athletes about how _they_ feel. I've had students that were on swim team and volleyball teams. You know what? They don't care about the uniforms. They're getting to participate in a sport they enjoy and that's the outfit they have to wear. I never cared that I was wearing skin tight spandex while wrestling because that's what was required so I could compete.
So, before you start your social justice warrior campaign against skirts that girls look better in than you, re-evaluate your reason for doing it. If they're not asking you to be their champion then you really need to step down off of your pillar of justice and leave them be. Those athletes have parents who are more interested in their children's health and well being than you ever will be. Leave it up to them to decide what's right for their kid.

I'm not representing an opinion, simply asking the question. I said myself that I'm undecided about the issue.
My only concern about that argument is the stories I've read from girls who were uncomfortable with the uniforms, but continued to do cheerleading because of social pressure, not wanting to quit or dissapoint someone, and more. I agree that lots of the people who wear these outfits are fine with them, but some are not, and it isn't always as cut and dry as "Don't like it, don't do it".

@RoboChloe: Ok, sorry if I did come across a bit harsh in my reply on this. It's just a touchy subject as I have a teen daughter on a dance team where they wear what would be called "cheerleader uniforms." She loves what she does and couldnt care less about what she had to wear. She does like the fact that the uniform gives her a freedom of movement to let her dance.
As for those people who arent comfortable with wearing the uniform but still want to participate, I dont know what to say about those people. I have never met a single person who participated in something but didnt feel good about themselves because of it. It really is as cut and dry as "Dont like it, dont do it."

@Reboot: I've talked to people like that. They tend to keep quiet about it because they don't want people to know how they feel. These are teenagers after all.
For the girls who are comfortable with it, that's great for them. But nothing is that simple.

No. There's a huge cheer leading convention in town and I haven't seen one revealing outfit. It's only with college and sports teams that we see a bit more.

No they are lovely and the Girl should be naked under the short dress showing her cute pussy to all that want to look.

@OhAngel: As someone with very recent firsthand experience in London schools, not only did I never see a cheerleader, I never even heard the word "cheerleader" said once in the entirety of my time at school, and I've never heard of cheerleaders at other schools either. I'm sure some schools have cheerleaders, but very few. And even if they do, their uniforms would never be anything like what this commenter is suggesting!

It really depends on the high school, some have pretty revealing uniforms. The school I went to had very modest uniforms but some of the girls would intentionally request one that was to small for teenage girl reasons. But if their parents don't see an issue with their daughter wearing it, I don't think it's of anyone else's concern.

Schools should get rid of sports completely.... then we wouldn't be having this conversation.

The concept is kind of weird and sexist. It allows females to participate in generally male dominated sports, although in a sexist way. This question is asking about High School kids, not adults.. Adults can do what they want as long as it's legal. For High School students it's up to school policy and parents. I would feel weird looking at under age girls being under dressed, but have no problem with adult women at all.. :)

There haven't been cheerleaders at our local HS for at least 25 years. We're in a conference of mostly larger(1,000+) schools and I'd hazard less than 5 of them have football cheerleaders. Given the option, lots of girls chose the competition of their own sports.

Don't cheerleaders where short tights under the skirts?
Don't high school girls where short skirts to school?
Don't high school girls wear yoga pants to school?

All the schools I've been to have a rule about short skirts and shorts. They have to be longer than the tip of your longest finger when you put your hands down by your sides. I don't know if that's true for all schools though.
not in my country, they wear uniforms which are unflattering and too strict

It's a toss up. Some schools have standards.
