Softball Tortured Me!!!
Clarifying everything is a little hard to do. So, I am just going to start from the usual beginning. I am a sophomore in High school and will attend college eventually. My personality is based on my writing and the places I am in, such as my room. I am a long distance runner, but I used to play softball. Ok, here goes.
I started fastpitch softball because I was encouraged by the movie The Sandlot. Then, I get into Fall and Spring league ball. I became a pitcher and put effort into it. I became a star pitcher on the All-Star team and received many trophies. After all that, my parents started controlling my efforts by putting me in try-outs for Select Teams. At times, I was in control of them, but at most times, they were.
People say I worry too much. They were right. I was always nervous before any practice or game. I begged for it to rain! The moments of cancellations set me free and I am the happiest ever. But, then again, it cleared up and I had to proceed with softball. I cried every night begging to get out. Suicidal moments never arose. I then realized that my sensitivity toward everything was raising the roof. I couldn’t talk, I was always depressed, I missed the free weekend days, and I never caught on with my friends.
Softball ended in my life after the summer of ’08. I was the happiest ever. I could finally breathe. But there were times I mourned my early teenage life of all those years playing softball (11-15 years old). I lost so many friends. The movie night we had never arose. Not to mention my love life…no date in 2 years. So, now I run in cross country and track. I have friends and ever since softball ended, more sleep for me. That’s just 1 chapter of my life. A depressing start to my teen years.
I need to point out something. Society is hard to control these days. You watch football on a Friday night and see entertainment. All I see is something I would die from.
The reason we have sports is to have fun, or see fun. Softball is one harsh sport. A game is a game! You either win or lose! The softball coach I had in High school, (just my freshman year), was…weird. It’s like looking in a mirror smiling and seeing your reflection just staring at you as if you were stupid. The coaches have favorites and punish you for your wrong-doings…that’s why I was always nervous.
I’ll tell an example of an episode of a game: I was in left field and it was slightly slippery. A ball went over 3rd base and hit against the shed. I jogged over there and slipped while preparing to grab the ball…they were mad at me…for laughing about it and being careless. I was having fun…all they cared about was torturing the other team.
There were 2 captains on the JV team. Guess what? If we did something in practice that was misguiding (not hustling), then the coaches would tear them up! I thought it was unfair! I grew so crazy about it, I felt pure pain. Why give us all the punishment and blame if we’re having fun?! I wanted to go to the cops or tell someone that the sports have become insane! You can play a sport for fun if EVERYONE is accepted, but you can’t play a sport for fun if the coaches make it that way!
I’ll sum it up for you: softball ruined my life at the end. I had fun, but no one accepted it. I can never go back to my plain self again all because of the sports today.
Supporting face: in medieval times, hopscotch was used by the Roman soldiers during training, and is now for kids on concrete. The sport of softball is just the opposite.
I need help coping with the beginning of my depressing teen years. Please help me.

So I know everyones experiences may be different but to be completely honest I think i know exactly how you feel. Since i was maybe 4 years old my parents had me ski racing every year. Now maybe skiing for other people seems like it would be alot of fun but again everyones experiences are different. personally I hated skiing, i am a pretty good skier but i will never ski again because of how i was forced into the sport. anyways i just felt like i could relate so i hope this gies you some confort knowing there are people that understand.

Well that was an aweful experience, I hate when we have those bad moments. I had a similar experience when i went up for the swim team. Everybody made fun of me because i was the fat boy and id always be out of breath. I really loved the sport because I love to swim, but it really sucked because i was the slowest on the team. Therefore i quit the team just because everybody hated me.

First of all…accept it. that’s the best thing you can do. Accept that you don’t love softball the way you used to, and MOVE ON. it’s the only way anything will get better. figure out what’s keeping you from dating, or having the friends you want to. if your life used to revolve around softball, find something new it can revolve around. what i’m trying to say is that in order for your life to look up , you’re going to need to let go of whatever’s bringing you down. that probably sounded super harsh, but just keep in mind that there is more to life than softball. good luck with everything and whatever path you take, remember that you can turn around.
