Should I Quit?
I do competitive cheerleading and I love it a lot but since I am going into my sophomore year of high school I really want to focus on that. Also, it cost a lot of money and my family doesn't own that much. I was on a different team last year and I loved it so much. This year my heart isn't really in it and I dread going to practice. I want to quit so I don't have to worry about these things but I don't want to lose my friends and I also I don't want to end up regretting my decision to quit. What should I do?

"This year my heart isn't really in it and I dread going to practice."
There's your answer there.
Will you lose your friends? If cheerleading is all you and they do, then yes. Sorry. People move on, it's part of life. It's a little sad, but its not the end of the world.

this is part of what its like going through your teens and college age years. I knew in fact several college age people who decided they didn't like what they were studying for a degree in and changed their college classes and focus on degrees so many times I lost count, all to find what they really liked and had a passion for. Don't ever be afraid to try something and once you commit to it, see it out til the end of the year or end of the class. In this case, you finished your freshman year cheerleading and know you dont want to continue. So rather than wait until September when school starts again, now is the time to quit. I know some people give pep talks about not being a quitter. to an extent, theres a reason for it, too many people give up on something they actually love only because along the way, the going gets tough for a while. In that case, one shouldn't give up. You have the perfect reason to quit, you said, your heart isn't into it. So if you did stick with it, you risk letting down the rest of the team, not doing the quality of performance they require and possibly risk injuring yourself or others. If you get questioned about wanting to quit, you have to be clear in your mind the reasons why so you can communicate effectively to lay others minds at rest that you are in fact making this decision for the right reasons. So if its not to avoid the hard work, just lack of passion for it that you discovered by sticking with it for a year, thats logical reason enough. When a person is passionate about something, time flys by, they lose themselves in doing what they love and even find the hard work something they feel pumped about rather than dreading. Don't be afraid to try new things and find again you really have no passion for it. Eventually you will stumble upon something that really captures your attentions and passion and that can only happen if you keep trying new things without a fear of backing out when the time is right if you dont like it.
good luck dear.

Dear Jane,
This is a easy solution.
You quit.
If your heart truly isn't into vheer anymore, then you can stop. It will benifeit your family's budget and you can focuse more on graduating!
If your 'friends' break the friendship because of your descision. Then they aren't true genuine friends.
