S_C answered Monday July 11 2005, 10:26 pm: Well it depends, how old are you? Do you have a job? Maybe you can quit camp and pay her back? If not, then you'll have to stick it through. Or why do you hate it? Are you no longer into the sport, are people being really mean to you, is there something really bad about it? If so, tell your mom what it is that is bothering you and see if she'll let you quit. But if it's just because it's no fun, or something somewhat important to you, but not worth wasting the $135, then try and stick it out. How long will camp be? If it's not too long then try, if it's just a day camp, then whats the worst that will come out of going. Now if it was like a month long and it's not worth the money and you can't get your money back, see if you can explain to your mom why you want to quit and that you'll try and pay her back the best you can as fast as you can. Try and get yourself some babysitting jobs around where you live so you can earn money to pay her back with. I don't doubt your mom will be mad. I was on a soccer team back in 7th grade, it cost my mom about $100, and nobody was any good, maybe only 3 or 4 of us, out of the only 3 games I went to, we won one, lost one, and tied one, but the only reason we won one was because the other teams goalie and best player hurt his leg and had to sit out, and noone else on the team was good at being a goaly. Anyway, I have a point, I quit the team, never showed up to another practice or game because it wasn't fun for me. My mom was mad at me for quitting but she got over it. Your mom will get over it too, just explain it to her as best you can and see what she says.
Anyway, remember winners never quit. I do regret quitting because I missed out on making good friends and helping others learn to play better, but unless other people are harassing you, or it's way too bad and you NEED to quit, try and stick it through. Sorry for repeating myself, but I don't think you should quit unless it's really bad. Just explain the situation, offer to pay her back as you get money, and ummm, thats all I got :-). Hope everything goes okay, good luck with camp... or without it!! <3 always, Kate [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
