more track
i think it might have been today when i have decided that i hate track. i hate almost everything about it except the fact i get to see my friends. i think whoever made the sport up should be thrown out a window.
ok so i just had a track meet today. we lost and i didnt do very well. on the ride home, i took some of the peoples advice and talked to my mom about it. yeah, we got in a HUGE arguement.
she said that i should put my heart into it and stay commited. i told her that its hard to put your heart into something that you have no interest in. she just doesnt get it! she thinks im some professional runner but i hate running for points or a grade. im not even good. im not even GETTING good.
she kept telling me that the only true reason i got a cell phone was for track. i dont think theres any way of talking her out of it. its like she doesnt care that its really blowing my week.
another thing: my brother.
he's basically the next albert einstein. he passed the SAT's in 7th grade (my grade). i dont even know if that is humanly. now, he's the genius in the family and im the runner up. he's only a year older than me and he's already 2 years ahead of me in school. the reason i have large expectations is because im supposed to follow in his foot steps. im already in algebra math but my parents want me to take a summer school to learn more for the private school i have to get into in 9th. my brother is also athletic.
im not sure if im capable of following his steps.. i think im already lost!
i need some help please =/

I can understand why you think you need to follow in your brothers steps, but seriously, don't. It doesn't sound like you want to, it sounds like you're spending too much time doing something boring, and not enough time having fun.
Keep trying with your mother. Don't argue with her. Simply explain. Always keep a calm voice, even if she is screaming in your face. Control will help you win in an argument. Hopefully it doesn't happen like that though.
There really isn't much you can do here except speak with your parents on the matter. After all, they do have control over what you're doing and not doing.
Keep trying to talk to them. Don't nag them about it, but be persistent and drive your point through.
