Question

I am 13 years old . I am a level 9/10 gymnast, and I workout 20 hours a week. My parents make me do gymnastics. I hate it. I want to quit so bad. They seriously wont let me. I have talked to them, and asked them why i have to do it, and if i am allowed to quit.. They always get really mad at me, and sometimes ground me from stuff. I don't know what to do or say, please help meee

Answer 1

Speak to your coach at school and tell them exactly how you feel.  Ask them to talk to your parents for you.  You need an adult to stand up for you.  There is no way you should be forced to do what you hate.  Keep trying until you get some adult on your side.

Answer 2

You should seek counsel from a guidance counselor or other adult you trust.

Why do you hate gymnastics? What about it do you hate? Is it because they make you go?

You do live under your parents roof and it is your duty to obey them.  You are 13.. it seems to me that you only have to keep going for 5 more years.

Think of the positive things about gymnastics... I bet you are in great shape.  I bet you're strong.  I bet you can do amazing things that most people can't do. I am sure you can think of more as well.

Good luck.

It's always important to be honest with your parents without rebelling. Make a list of the pros' and cons.
