Last year I was in seventh grade and my friend R wanted to join the schools cheer squad and I was like cool. She asks me to come with her to the meeting to sign up and for some reason my parents thought it was a good idea to put me in it.( I clearly stated I didn’t want to do it)

So I start going to the practices and they are pretty easy nothing serious and all of the sudden captain tryouts are the next day and my mom forced me to tryout. I thought no biggy I just won’t try hard . Let me tell you this it didn’t help me at all! I became captain not because of my skill but because of my grades(<95). Fast forward a couple months the coaches have started to pick favorites and they pick the actually skilled girl on the team( mind you all you have to do is pay to get on the team) and they expect us to be like her and I’m tired of it. Anytime we mess up we are yelled at and have to run for it while when the favorite messes up she can just laugh it off. HEEHE ITS NOT FUNNY

I just want to get out of it but the coaches are really scary and I’m scared my parent will call me a disappointment again. My mom has also wasted a lot of money on the uniform and stuff I’m in a pickle. Also it’s not even half way through the year and they are treating us like slaves . They said it would be fun not that it would be a job that keeps me from doing my homework and getting a decent amount of sleep.

Anything I can do to get out of it or at least get a break??
