DaintySplash NewbieWell, a couple of months ago, my mom signed me up for a cheerleading squad, which requires me to go to practice about 3 days each day, 3-4 hours each day for practice.
I HATE IT... sorry, I had to burst that out. I'm not *into* cheerleading... I prefer other stuff such as painting or art. CHEERLEADING IS NOT ME!!! Half the girls on my team are mean >: I did make a few friends but they hardly wanna hang out with me during the breaks so I'm a loner there! I hate being there!!! Like, they are nice and all...
And I suck at cheerleading... I think the coach hates me as well because she either doesn't pay attention to me or either just picks on me only. Either of those and it gets annoying.
I asked my mom to quit, but she told me that I need to be "well-rounded" and "in shape". But, to be honest, I'm not a sporty kind of person. I'm more into art, but my mom says that art will get me nowhere in life and that I have to continue to go to cheerleading, no matter what.
Plus she said she spent almost all of her budget just to pay for the uniforms and practices etc, which is true, but honestly, I'm not happy there...
Please help! She's made it quite clear that I'm not quitting cheer, but I'm just not happy there AT ALL. What do I do? -
well the only part that bad is spending all the money.. but seriusly?.. you mom is so ubsesed with you staying "in shape" at your age.. you do realise dont quote me on this.. but thats not good for the joints.. to be slamming down on your wridts, straining your back in directions it was not ment to go.. and no offence but art could totaly get you somewhere if you have the passion for it.. honestly i dont know how to help you out.. unless you can talk to your dad, talk to your cheer instructer, ask the school,
fake an injurytry and get an adult to help your side of the story is the only thing i can think of.. hope things go well.. -
Araminta NewbieDaintySplash,
You need to be blunt and actually quite honest to your own mother. Tell her that you don't like the sport and tell her about the girls being mean there and about how mean the coach is. She'll understand, she's your mother.

Refuse to go. She can't force you to unless she drags you out of the house by force, which is abuse. This will show her you're serious about quiting, and maybe she'll get off your tail.

NachozVsCupcakes NoviceQuit SECRETLY. Maybe tell your mom about how mean the cheerleaders are, and the coach too, and then ditch those cheerleaders!

As an Artist, what you just said infuriates me on SO many levels.
For art can mean incredible opportunities, concept art, graphic design, there are people who get commissioned daily. Just having the skill handy alone can help out in many ways. It'll make you keen to detail, good with hands-on skill, and creative. Those are good attributes to have. However, Art is a difficult field to prosper in, so your mother is right on one thing. That's why most artists have some sort of back up plan just in case their dreams don't pull through after all.
Don't like cheerleading? She can't force you to do it. Tell that lady that you REFUSE to go to Cheerleading. Why? Because you don't like it. You don't get a second chance in life, it's best to do what makes you happy than jump around and s--- and be f---ing miserable the entire time. Whether your mother likes it or not, it's your life, and you shouldn't waste it doing something you dislike. As for the budget, it's her fault for dishing out money for something you didn't ask for. If your mother doesn't respect your decision as to what you prefer to do in life, then I don't think she deserves the f---ing title as a mother. (I'm pissed, I'm sorry if I offended anyone.)
I hated band, while my mother wanted me to learn an instrument, I'd rather be drawing. Never regretted the decision to quit. -
I love cheer. But...thats just me.
You should tell your mom that she shouldnt force you to do something that you dont like. Stay on the squad for the rest of the season, and then quit, and tell your mom that you could do another sport that you actually like. -
TaylorLautnerFan NoviceYou should stand up for yourself and tell your mother that you don't like cheerleading, and that you want to quit. Tell her that all the girls are mean to you and that your coach is mean too. And tell her your passion is for art and that sports aren't your thing.
