My Football Helmet is Too Tight, What do I DO?

HELP!!
I HAVE THE BIGGEST SIZED HELMET AND WHEN I PUT IT ON IT HURTS SO BAD
WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE IT FIT COMFORTABLE

The same thing happened to me when I started to played football. But keep in mind that the helmet is suppose to be very tight. You have a few options. One is go to your coach and ask your coach to let some air out of your helmet. (On the back of your helmet is a little hole, your coach should have a little pump and if you put the pump in the hole it changes the amount of air in the padding side of the helmet.) Or you could just wear the helmet. After a while you get used to the helmet and it does not hurt anymore. It may be hard to wear your helmet because I know how bad it hurts, but trust me you will get used to it.

Wear it more often eventually the padding will compact itself.

Do you have a Barry Bonds head, get one custom

Are you sure you can't find a bigger helmet at a sports equipment store? If not, you'll have to have one custom made. Big head, big brain. lol (or whatever) Good luck, hon! :)

How about reducing the size of your head? Larger helmets are available but too expensive for high schools.

Get a bigger one.

If you have the kind that have the air padding you could release some of the air.

loosen it

sounds like you either need to get a custom made helmet, or try some brain shrinking exercises, like smoking pot and drinking.

get a hair cut

get a helment that fit dummy

Without knowing your age and size hope this fills you in....
I have Schutt XL Revolution adult helmet given I have a big melon, 71/2 hat size. And yes there is nothing worse than helmet squeeze-my playing out hockey helmet pinches me in the temples some days yet it is the largest I can get....PAIN PLUS! My goalie mask fits a lot better, most I tried on were too tight before I found the Eddy one. At least in football you can take it off when you are not on field, hockey is a more fluid sport and helmets tend to stay on, and when they do not fit it takes all the enjoyment away from your game. If you have a youth helmet maybe you need an adult one. On the other hand maybe your brain is bigger than most.
