That was mean of your parents, but there are plenty of people at my high school that are cheerleaders and aren't super skinny. Take me for example, I used to cheerlead and I am not the skinniest person. Good Luck!!

How much weight do you want to lose?
Just exercise a lot...an hour of cardio at least 4 times a week. Do crunches and push ups to tone your arms and abs.
Eat less! Try eating about 1200 calories a day...make sure those are 1200 calories of healthy food though.
Don't listen to your parents, you can can do it if you pratice and try hard.

If you put your mind to it and try really hard i know you can do it. But how much do you weigh and how tall are you? Are you good in gymnastics though because in high school you have to be able to do a lot of stunts for the try outs! Good luck though.

well how mcuh to you weigh and what is your height? your parents sound unreasonable and you shouldnt pay attention to them, even though its hard. try getting on the team with your own self confidence. if your good, youll make it. if you know your not, than you know that even a skinny girl with bad talent wouldnt make the team. you have to believe in yourself, and try to start exercising and eating better. it never hurts to drop some pounds! good luck with tryouts and the rents. talk some sense into them.
