Parents Push Me Too Hard PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Hi my name is Olivia, I've been playing volleyball for three years now and I've become the "star player". I have made every team that I've tried out for which includes my school's varsity and a club team.

Well here is my problem, I used to like volleyball alot and it was even my favorite sport! But now my parents are obsessed with me being the best and it's hard to keep up with the reputation they've created!!!! They are so focused on volleyball that they tell people "how good Olivia is" and I really don't like it!! At first volleyball was just for fun but now it con trols my life and has become a competitive thing!!! My parents have started talking about "my future in volleyball", and college scholarships already!!! And I'm only in 7TH GRADE!!!!!! please help me to get my parents to understand that its JUST A SPORT!
thank you, lots a love -*livia*

I guess they are thinking about scholarships which can be A BIG , as well as having a daughter that must be the envy of all!!

I agree with Paul. I envy your volleyball skills.

This happened to me once. Try to tell your parents to down a bit in a way that is not to offensive. if volleyball isn't anymore because of them you should tell them that. Ya know? Use an exuse like << I want to focuse on school >>
