I am a fourteen year old with a problem. A few months ago I decided not to play water polo at my high school I attend. The reason why is that the coaches were asking me to tell jokes at the conditioning practices before the season. If I did not tell a joke, the other kids at the practice had to swim more laps. I refused to tell the jokes, and the kids were kind of angry at me. I felt humiliated.

I played water polo for many years and then made the decision I did not want to play. Then the coaches called my parents and told them that they could not understand my decision.

My family is a big water polo family and I still feel that they are angry at me for not playing. I cannot take it any longer. Can anyone offer me any advice? Was I wrong for quitting?

No, you weren't wrong, but this could have went better, then you quitting something you like. You don't have to do anything that you don't want to, such as doing what the coach wanted you to do, considering its totally not even about the sport. Tell your parents that you felt pressured to do something you didnt want to. I would have sat the coaches down, and told them why i didnt want to do that. Hope I helped. Good Luck. Happy Summer :)
