    I'm a gymnast who gets made fun of for not being able to touch my head with my feet, what should I do?
    Community Answer
    I can't do it either, so don't worry. First, tell whoever is making fun of you to mind their own business, or get a coach or other adult involved. Second, stretch at home. Work on bridges, backbends, or any other back stretch you can think of.
