13/f I've been playing th epiano for 4 years, i have to admit, I'm gettin pretty good at it, but I HATE IT!!!!!!! I've hated it since maybe 2 years ago, but my parents always say: "oh, your getting better" or "the piano teacher will be so upset if you quit". But now, I've just about had it, and my parents are like; give it a chance, one more lesson, but when they do that they'll tell the teacher i wanna quit, and he gets all nice and easy....ugh I HATE IT.
I've always been interested in the drums or guitar....something not very easy, but new to learn. If I do quit though, this'll be a load to drop on my parents [they're the sort of classical, act professional, ivy-league-for-you parents, plus I'd have to get the instruments somewhere!!!!
I just asked my parents a minute ago to quit, and they got all "stop being a teenager....ugh" and "one more lesson" how can I FIRMLY tell them I want to quit, without all this other crap coming up? And how hard is it to play the drums? either question, I'LL LOVE YOU IF YOU ANSWER IT!!
I think that you should keep playing the piano AND also take up the guitar or whatever other instrument you want. How do you want to show that you are committed if you want to drop something that you have been doing for a long time and suddenly start something new? You should talk to your parents and not throw a hissy fit if you are not allowed to do that. Wait a while until things cool down and maybe they forget about and then try again to ask. The best thing to do is save your money from birthdays, odd jobs, and other things to buy your own guitar or your own set of drums. That would show you are responsible and that you care about what you are doing enough to make your own money and buy something.

I did gymnastics at one gym for 4 years. Then I switched to another gym because I didn't like the gym I was at. So then I go to one practice at this gym, only me and my friend from school showed up. I liked it then. Then the other night I went for the second practice. I didn't like it. There was a bunch of people and I like smaller groups and I could just hear them whispering about me and I wasn't comfortable with that. So now that I told my mom I just wanted to quit and then she says I need to go to the mental hospital because I can't make up my mind and that I need to go see a therapist and that I am not going on our school trip to Canada in May BECAUSE I WANT TO QUIT! Why spend money on gymnastics if I am not having fun there?! I really want to go to Canada with my school but she won't let me now! And I have to go to a mental hospital cuz I can't make up my mind?!! WTF. Seriously. I wish she would just go fucking live somewhere else FAR away so I never have to see her EVER again. She makes my life fucking MISERABLE. Now I have to go see a therapist, again! I want to die, or I want her to die. ITS NO FAIR. Wtf do I do?
Let me get this straight, your mom is sending you to a mental hospital because you want to stop doing something? That is absurd. Instead of saying all of that and overreacting, you should sit your mom down and tell her EXACTLY how you feel. Tell her to not say a word until you are done explaining yourself. Tell her exactly why you want to quit gymnastics and what is bothering you. Whatever you do, DO NOT start yelling at her and telling her that you hate her and some more things that you will regret. If she starts to yell at you, look away, take a deep breath, and ask her in a nice way, "Why are you yelling at me?" That should make her feel bad for yelling at you and she should stop. The only thing I could think for you to do is like I said, sit down with your mom ALONE and talk to her. It should at least make things better a little bit. Tell her why you think you seeing a therapist is a no no and why her sending you to a mental hospital is absurd. By you talking to her, it might help her realize that you are a mature, young adult and that many of the choices that you make are yours. Hope this helps. :)
