Answer 1

If it is causing you stress and you want to leave, you probably should. The stress on top of the physical demands plus having a mean coach adds up to a big burden.
If you have team meetings--ask about transportation--if that is the biggest problem. With all that seems to be going on, I would think of leaving the squad as resigning not quiting.

I think you are learning something here. 1) Rules are rules. It doesn't matter if others break them, if you do.. then you suffer the consequences. -she gets mad at me because I come back late 2) Coaches have rules that should be followed. It could be that she is irritated with HIM just being there. - She thinks he's a distraction just because he watches us practice. 3) Cheerleading isn't just an induhvidual thing.. its a team thing. Quitting would hurt the team. 4) Your mom is right.. I bet she has invested over $1000 already. Now... if you would like to pay her back immediately the money she has spent.. then fine... but she spent it with an expectation that you would start what you finish. If you want to "buy out your contract" with her.. sure.. pay her the $1000 back.. but don't go whining to her that you want back on next year or expect her to shell out the bucks for the next big thing you want to try. I really think you should do the following: 1) Tell the BF that you will see him after practice and that he shouldn't come to practice anymore. 2) Be on time to practice and on time getting back from breaks. Then.. see how the coach starts treating you. I bet it will change. I bet your level of effort will change. What I think will happen: 1) you'll continue to wine and complain about how your mom isn't being fair. 2) you will find a way to get thrown off the squad. 3) your bf will dump you soon after 4) you will wine and complain to get back on the squad and the complain to everyone because the coach won't let you back on the squad 5) you will hate your mother because she will decide that she isn't willing to spend $$ on everything you want because of this *sigh*

Answer 3

Ask yourself if you really love to perform? Do you get that sudden burst of energy every time you perform for people? If you say yes to both try to stick with it. A mean coach might mean they are stressed out too. As for the rides I'm not sure. try working something out with people. They give you a ride home, you'll give them a ride there. Cheerleading is hard but so worth it when you win first at competition.

Answer 4

well think about it? if you really love cheerleading and its ur "passion" then dont quit, usually if it keeps you not stressed then you should stay in it, but if its making u even more stressed and u have enough stress in your life, then quit. depends if you are going to be releaved like oh thank god i quit cheerleading, or oh i wish i would have stayed it in because it was so much fun, then dont stay in it. u decide which is better for you, good luck-

Answer 5

There are better endeavors than becoming a cookie-cut drama queen in a miniskirt. Go ahead and quit. You will find that now you will have more time to becoming a scholar, a poet, a scientist, or an athlete instead of the one cheering them on.

Answer 6

if you are feeling stressed out over this then you should definitely quit! If you don't then you could end up hurting someone or even yourself. You should weigh out the advantages and disadvantages of being on this squad and figure out how much it really means to you. I wish you luck.

Answer 7

I would say quit if your a senior, football season is over and thats the best part of the school year. If your a underclassmen and really love it try it for a while longer and maby things will work out. good luck

Answer 8

don't quit in the middle of the season youll let your team down at least stick it out until after this year and then quit if youre really that unhappy

Answer 9

If your being put understress, and not happy with the situation then quit. If you want to stay and figure out the situation, then you can stay.

Its all ultimately up to you , but from the way you sound, I say drop it.

Thanks.
