PLEASE HELP, I can't last another week of this..?!
Question: I seriously don't think I can last another week of this.. I am 13.
Monday-Friday
Get up 6:30, go to school and get home at 2:45. Drive an hour to gymnastics. I am a level 10 gymnast, and stress and pressure is VERY HIGH. Practice from 5-9pm. Get home at 10:15, and normally I get to bed around 12:30. I seriously can't do this ANYMORE. I am not aloud to quit gymnastics so that isn't an option. I do gymnastics to keep my parents happy. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
( and I know I allready asked this question, but I wanted more opions!!)
and, if you don't know about gymnastics, there is a video about gymnastics, that is similar to my gym!

Answers: Sorry, you don't do things like that to "keep parents happy". That schedule is bordering on abusive. I strongly suggest you sit down with a counselor at school, explain how you feel, then ask for a meeting with your parents. This way, you have another adult to give an opinion.
At 13, you should not be going to bed at 12:30 and not having any real life other than school and gymnastics. It's one thing if YOU really want something like this, but this is not right if your parents are pushing you. Their ego needs to be checked at the door. Get some help now.
