If you don't like it, quit. There's nothing wrong with giving up on something if it makes you miserable. Nobody should be forced to do something that doesn't make them happy. Nor should you ever want to hurt yourself to get out of something.

Just quit. It'll be easier & better than hurting yourself.

If you hate it that bad, then quit. I was a cheerleader for five years, and my senior year of cheering was miserable. I fought with my captains and the other cheerleaders, I felt like everyone was always talking about each other behind their backs, and I felt like instead of being on a cheer team, I was on a drama team. The cheering was minimal, the fighting was constant. Even though I had cheered my entire life, the girls I cheered with made it terrible for me. I was really afraid to quit because I didn't want to be hated by everyone on the squad, I didn't want to disappoint my mom by giving up, and I told myself that it was just one more year. I had cheered my entire life and didn't want to quit the last year in. But I just wasn't happy anymore.

I did end up quitting. At first the drama was even worse and I know that I was probably talked about. However after a few months I started getting along with the girls, and I realized it was probably because I wasn't cheering. I know that's pathetic, but that's just how it was. I was afraid I would regret my decision, and later on in the year, I did. I missed it, and I actually cried at the first pep rally I wasn't in. Eventually I got used to it though, and now that I am out of school and look back on the situation, I am glad I quit. I was much happier after I wasn't cheering, because when I was I came home from practice and games every single time crying or being pissed off over something one of the cheerleaders said or did.

If you don't want to cheer, don't. There is no point in hurting yourself so you won't have too. Just tell your captian or coach that because of certian circumstances you aren't at liberty to discuss, you can't finish the season. I know it's scary to think about, but you can do it. Just spit it out, and then it's over.
