Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
If you don't like it, don't do it. no ones forcing you to, so why force yourself?
but since you have been going through a lot, it might be a good way to keep your mind off of everything.
but I'm not sure if thats a good enough reason to put yourself through something you dont enjoy.
but in the end its your choice.

if you really dont enjoy it then dont do it. But i would incorrige you to get into some other sport. It may be fun to start it with a couple friends, so you wont be alone

That must be tough. I played volleyball for 6 years & I would normally be screaming at people (such as yourself) to take advantage of the opportunity to play. I never got to play throughout high school because I had a heart condition that prevented me from playing. But I also have to remember that you don't have any passion in what you do, unlike I did. It's hard to make decisions your family doesn't agree with, but you should never be forced to play a sport you show absolutely no interest in. You clearly gave it a shot by playing for 3 years & that should be enough.

If you don't like volleyball, then drop the sport. I'm sure three years is enough of one sport. After all your family problems though, don't just quit all sports. Try to see what you did like about volleyball. If you liked the running part, then try track. Just try another sport and see how it goes.
Good luck with whatever you do.

This is such a sticky situation. I know you feel like you should play volleyball to live up to expectations of your family but sometimes you need to do things for yourself. It's tough when you value your family, and it seems like you value your team and you don't want to let anyone down, but if you don't enjoy volleyball you shouldn't do it. My friend is going through the whole ordeal and saying she's not going to play the sport she plays next year because it was a waste of time with practices and such.
Do what you feel is right for you personally. No matter what you do someone will end up being disappointed, so it makes no difference in that aspect.
Good luck and I hope this helps.

Wow, that's a tough one! It does seem a shame to give it up after all this time. It's only one more year... and having something to keep you busy can keep your mind off of other less pleasant things. Is there *anything* you like about it? The friends you've made on the team? The recognition you get from being on the school team? Having your picture in the yearbook? The exercise you get from practices? If you can think of anything good about volleyball, and focus on that, then maybe it won't be that bad. But if you really, absolutely HATE it, there's no sense in forcing yourself to do it. But I would recommend finding some other sport or activity to take its place. It's hard to go from being busy to having nothing to do!

I think that you should do whatever you want to, mabe its not volleyball you like, so what? there's lots of ways to be active, pick something new :-) being active is a great way to keep your mind off of the bad things that are happening in your life, even try to influence your sis to try out with you. GoOd LuCk!!! p.s i am trying out for volleyball this season for the first time and i dont know any of the rules!!!

Maybe you should.. to keep your mind of things?
btu if oyu dislike it, don't!
but i highly recomend you do something else to keep you busy!
