my friend is 17 and wants to take up figure skating. i think she is too old. she dreams about skating in competitions. she has been skating for 8 years now, but hasn't taken any lessons. she is graceful and skates smoothly, but doesn't know any tricks. although figure skating is also one of my passions, i don't know what advice to give her. on one hand, i would try to take some lessons too and encourage her, but on the other hand, i think i am too old too. i don't think she could become a star and compete (don't get me wrong - i want her to), but i don't want to get her moral down. she really wants to do this. how can i help her? she doesn't have many ice rinks in her city and lessons could be expensive. she spends a lot of time on roller blades, but it's not the same thing.
