It’s a really long story, but I’m gunna tell it all. So for the past maybe 4 years I had been trying out for volleyball, I didn’t make the team once. I absolutely adored the sport, though. And I didn’t want to give it up just because I didn’t make the team the first few times. But, I heard that a different sport, the only sport in the school that does this, doesn’t make cuts. That means everyone who tries out makes the team. Well, it’s lacorsse. I tried out and made the team and I was the goalie. I did it for a year, and it was alright. But it did a lot of conflicting with my other schedule, my theater rehearsal schedule. And I had to skip out on a lot of practices of theater to come to lacrosse. So the schoo year ends, and my mom signs me up for the summer lacrosse program, even though I said I didn’t want to. Not just because it’s a ton of money, but I want to focus on other things over the summer. But, I was only 14 and I didn’t have the right to make my own desicons. So I was in summer lacrosse. It was god awful. I had no friends. It was hot and sweaty and i really don’t wanna do it this summer. I don’t even want to do lacrosse this school year. I asked my mom if I could quit, not just because I don’t really enjoy playing the sport, but also because I want to focus on theater and my Advanced Placement Collgege Level classes, which are really hard. My mom didn’t take that as an excuse though. She said I only wanted to do more theater because my boyfriend is in theater. I tried to tell her that’s not the case, but she wouldn’t listen to me. She wouldn’t let me speak or defend myself. She was just yelling over me. And she also said “if you’re having trouble with AP classes, why don’t you just stop doing theater. That takes up a lot of time too” and yes, yes it does. However, theater always puts me in a good mood and I go home, maybe late, but full of energy and motivation to use to get my homework done for the night. I tried to tell her that, but again, she didn’t listen. “You’re only in a good mood because you’re spending time with your boyfriend” I’m not always with him there, we play two roles that don’t really interact with eachother. I’m gunna skip over a bunch because this is getting really long. Point is, she won’t let me quit. So I decided to just quit on my own. She can’t stop me from getting on the bus and riding home and not staying after school for lacrosse. And that’s what I’ll do. I just won’t go. I’m deciding to do that next week. The week of December 17th. But I’m really nervous. Whenever she yells at me I get really really bad anxiety attacks and I can barely breathe and I can’t stop crying. So I’m just nervous. I don’t really know what I’m asking. Maybe I’m asking if I should do it or not? Maybe I’m asking if anyone knows how I can keep myself calm while I have someone screaming in my face threatening to slap me for being a disrespectful ungrateful teenager going through a rebellions phase when I’ve only ever tried to be good? I don’t know. But if you can help, anyone’s input would be greatly appreciated.

You just don’t want to do anything
Doesn’t it ever happen to you that’s you just don’t want to do anything, not because you’re lazy or because it’s too hard, but rather it has to do wit...
I understand what you mean. I think you should do it, you're 14 years old and you do have the right to make decisions for yourself. You have a voice and whether some adults like it or not voices are meant to be heard and respected. For the trying to stay calm, I can hold up a front until I'm behind closed doors. Think about carrots up her nose or something weird that would make you laugh but don't laugh or smile, they don't like that very much. I hope all goes well <3 Good Luck.
