I am in cheerleading but do not like it. They need me though. Should I quit?

Question

I love to dance and I love gymnastics. Thats the whole reason I tried out for cheerleading. When I found out I made it I was soo excited. I was always looking forward to going to practices. Im not really sure what happened. I just kinda felt unaccepted and out of place. I dont really like the coach either. Also the whole team revolves around one stunt group. Which only four people can be in a stunt group.... so what ar ethe other cheerleaders supposed to do? but anyways I just want to quit.... but we only have 11 cheerleaders... and most of them have never cheered in there life and dont have alot of talent and not very strong. They need me because I am a good dancer, good tumbler, and am a good base. The thing is.... I jut dont enjoy it and dread going. Ive already put lots of money into it and our coach has already ordered my stuff.. It just seems like a hassle to quit. What should I do? Quit and be happy or help out my squad and suck it up? Thanks for your time. =)

Answer 1

finish out this yr and dont go back

Answer 2

if you're not enjoying it, you shouldn't be there. i know what you mean i was in cross country, but i didn't really enjoy because of the people, coach, and other circumstances. i finished the year and didn't go back, however i continued to run on my own, so maybe u can find a different program for cheerleading.

Answer 3

well,if u dont like cheerleadin then dont do it =P i felt the same way with soccer so i quit and i ended up finding a awesome sport,softball :) it would be nice  if u helped them tho but it is better to do something u like. but its mainly ur choice.

hope i helped =3

Your young. don't waste your time doing something you just dont enjoy anymore. Sure they will be disapointed that you quit, but if they are your friends some of them should understand why you quit. Just tell them you want to focus on your school studies if they dont understand. Goodluck hun.

Answer 5

If you are stressed and cannot stand it, don't waste your time. They will figure out what to do. I also did the same. Even if you dont feel comfortable say you sprained your arm or something. Quit. Because you are only wasting time of fun.

Answer 6

If you don't like it, it isn't worth it to continue. If you feel really strongly about helping out your team, I'd advise you to stick it out through the year and then quit.

Answer 7

it's your life, not theirs.

it takes a lot of time, money, and commitment to be in a sport and if you aren't loving it, you should quit and find a different passion ;)

Answer 8

You should find a way 2 make it fun! Last year i dreaded going 2 practice and sucked it up all year! If I did you can! Now I'm going 2 a new skool and I've met new ppl already and skool has not even started yet!

Good Luck!

Answer 9

do what makes you happy...if you want to quit go ahead...they can always find another person...why do something you hate if you dont have to...good luck anyway
