Question Posted Thursday December 18 2008, 9:26 pm
There's this new club at school and I was thinking of joining but I didn't know when it started and I kind of forgot about it but I finally went on their THIRD meeting and on that first meeting of mine I ending up getting a ride home from my teacher who runs the club and it was pretty akward.
I've been missing club meetings since that one (I missed the meetings 3 times so far) but not because of that akward incident (very nice teacher so it's ok); the first meeting i had a doctor appointment and the second one I didn't have a ride so I just didn't go because I take the bus, and today's meeting I was working on a project assignment with a partner who is a guy so he is NOT allowed into my house according to the rules so I have to work with him at school.
And when i say that I don't have a ride, I mean that both my parents have 12 hour shift jobs and on just some inconvienent days for me, they both work in the morning shifts and won't be home until 7pm. I would take the city bus but not in the winter because it's so dark and I hear stories about girls walking at night and getting kidnapped, you know, etc.
I don't want my teacher to feel like I'm not going to the club anymore because of an akward incident but i haven't said anythign to hima nd when i can't make it, I don't even mention anything and he doens't talk to me about it in class so I feel like maybe he doesn't care?
I only showed up in one meeting so I don't think it really makes me a member but can members get kicked out of clubs (I never joined a club other than this before so I don't know).
P.S, any other inputs on how I can deal with this situation?

I suggest having a serious talk with your teacher, kindly explain to him that you really dont have enough time in the day (and you can also say that you have something else you need to get done after school.) You can always help out though, for example: my problem club is an animal rescue club. Although I cannot participate regularly, I told my teacher I would gladly donate various dog toys and food to help out, and I would do as much as I can. You can still stay in tact with the club, just not as often as you like. As for getting kicked out, I wouldn't think that you would be kicked out if your helping a little, I would think that you could only get kicked out if you were acting innopropriately and being a distraction. Good luck, and let me know how it goes!!! [ xosodapopx3's advice column | Ask xosodapopx3 A Question ]
