School sucks life sucks is it to late?

[thelost11]

Ok I am a sophomore. My dad never supported anything i did but he talks about as much as i dont do. He will always try to put me out there saying how nonathletic i am and how i do so bad in my academics. Thing is i played soccer for 7 years and track for 2 and yet he never came to a single game or asked me even wat time it was at. And now that im in highschool he wants me to play football but he will do the same thing. I like football but i never played for a team and i dont no a lot of the stuff like all the position names or common plays and stuff and the couch teaches at the school and he doesnt like me as it is. So basically if i joined i wouldn't get any playing time or maybe not be any good. I think its a little late to begin football tho cus i never played it and the earliest i can start is junior year. Also I am pretty smart but i've been doing average in school but since my bro was doing bad they(my parents) kinda put us together and act like i do bad. I point it out and they act nice for a day and then later they go on telling people how much of a failure i am and how i wont be able to go to college and what not. Every time they do this it makes me want to just give up with school completely. Im a very unorganized person and cant fix this... it affects my grades but not drastically. Also i've been working out for about a year and after about the first 2 months i cant make any gains whatsoever. I'm not very healthy but not the worst. a lot of crap is just beating me down. I used to love video games but i went on a trip and when i came back i just cant find anything fun. Also i have 2 siblings and my parents decided im the one who doesn't get a tv so i pretty much am the most bored person ever. I'm ready to basically give up at life. Anyone can help? even a single problem will help
(please dont give me a bull**** answer)

eh anything is possible..the thing is we're all too lazy to do it because it's hard...take for example a friend of mine..he wants to be a pro basketball player..(he odesn't really but lets just say)...hes 6'2'' and fairly built...if he played every day afterschool, enrolled in all the clinics he could..played every weekend for hours..and played every single minute of his free time..then he would make it eventually whether it be out of college or whens he's 30 something...same goes for academics and school athletics..

You also have a problem with self-motivation. I never liked my parents comingt o my games or hassling me about homework..it actually demotivated me. If they don't bring up the subject of homework on a friday night, i prolly woudl do lots of it. SELF MOTIVATION.

What are your desires or goals? figure em out and makea plan.

You honestly want to know what I think? F&ck your parents. Stop worrying about what they think about you, and quit doing things to make them think better of you. The things that you do, make sure you're doing it for yourself. Do things to make you happy. I don't want to judge your parents, but I've known people who went through the same things and I saw, first hand, the toll it takes on them.

From what you've said, you've done everything you could to change your parents view of you, and it hasn't worked. Stop beating a dead horse. If they won't appreciate what you do, just forget about it that's their problem. Make yourself happy first and just hope they come around. If they don't it isn't your problem it's theirs.

I know you love them, whether you want to admit it or not, and want them to be proud of you. Sometimes you have to use "tough love" though. Improve your own life. If they still won't see the improved you, oh well, at least you're happy.

As far as everything else, I know this sounds cliche, but you can do anything you set your mind to... seriously. It won't all be easy, but if you're willing to put in the effort you CAN do it. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, if you can make it through this then there isn't much that you couldn't make it through. I know all this sounds lame and "said to death" but it is true, you just have to want things to get better and be willing to fight for it.

When it comes to lifting, just stick with it. Everyone plateaus eventually. That's where the real work begins and the real men step up to the plate. When you first start lifting you'll make big gains quickly. After about 6 months to a year, the rate at which you make those gains REALLY slows down. If you stick with it, you will continue to improve, just not as quickly as you were used to. You just have to have the heart to keep pushing yourself.

All in all, just keep searching. You'll find something that makes you happy, you just can't stop looking. And finally, NEVER give up. Personally I hate people that give up more than anything. It's the easy way out. No one ever said life was easy, it can't be rosey 24/7. Just keep your chin up and keep moving forward.

do you have any interests/hobbies?

it sounds to me like you are in a major depression....this is a medical condition which is easily treatable with drugs...also, you ay want to force yourself to get active. its been proven that physical activity releases endorphins from the brain. those endorphins help fight depression as well. please talk to your family doctoror school counselor or someone and get help. you do not have to feel the way and there are people who eill help you,

Tell your parents the F*ck off. They're supposed to be your support, so by cutting you down they're failing. DO WHAT YOU WANT. Wanna play soccer, play soccer, wanna run track, run track, wanna play video games , pick up a 360 and cod4 and start playing. Wanna do goood in school, study and prove your parents wrong. You got a lot going for you probably, just dont focous on the bad stuff.
