My parents and I have an understanding that I try really hard at school and softball, but I feel as if they expect far to much of me. I feel like I have to do things, rather than wanting to do them. At softball especially. I love the sport, don’t get me wrong.. But when your parents always have something negative to say about the game, or the people it makes you want to give it up, but you can’t tell them that then they get angry and it sounds like you don’t appreciate all they have done for you. That’s what it feels like for me. I just want to be a normal kid, but I can’t because I’m expected to be at every training, every game and to be performing to my best ability. But I can’t do that when my interest for it is spiraling into a black hole full of unwanted feelings. And it’s the same with school. I’m expected to get the best grades, but I need help. But I can’t get help because I have softball on. It’s a weird situation
