WHAT DO I DO!?
UGH.
My mom and i have been fighting about me quitting gymnastics. I want to, but she doesn't want me to. I have been doing it for a while and i seriously feel burnt out. I am getting scared of many skills that i have had and just getting so frustrated. I really want to be done. I have had great times in the sport and my hearts just not in it anymore.
I have told my mom this many times and she just doesn't understand.
What can i do to get my point across?
How can i solve all the tension between my mom and i?

Oh yeah, i also wrote this poem about it, to release my feelings.
Its a little rough, but you can kinda see how i am feeling:



A single tear falls from the happenings of the day
In fear of whats to come along the way
You begin to doubt your success and you feel hopeless

You want to quit, but there is a force in the way
Not listening to a single thing you say
Things start to get complicated

All you want is to be understood
Unfortunately, no one would
So now is the time to stand up high
Time to be heard and listened to

They don't know what you're feeling
So how can they decide what you will be doing?
They can't. And they won't.
Because you, have a voice too
 
Its happens to everyone. But the way i would go at it is to have like a meeting or something where everyone is hearing your story and then ask why if they say no. Explain and tell how your sick of gymnastics. If your old enough they should understand, its your dream that's happening not theirs.

Nice poem and hope this works.
 
That can be a hard thing, a parent wanting you to do something! I know the feeling !! What i would do is just stop or if she really wont let you then dont do good! just make a lot of mistakes and say that that is the best you can do! hope i helped!
