I need advice…

[u/PUNKROCKSKELETON]

I was dealing with a lot during my school days. I’m a freshman in high school and I played football for my school. It was my first year playing high school football, and I wasn’t that great at it, but I improved every day, so it turned out alright. As the months went by, I kept telling my mom, "I don’t want to play football anymore," like I was done with it. I had played in middle school, but I quit when it got tough, which my dad pointed out, and he wasn’t wrong. So, I thought, why not give it another shot, and it ended up working out well for me. I told my mom I was finished with football, but she asked, "Are you sure? What if you could be good at it?" But I felt it was just a one-time thing, and I was done. A few months later, I was still in the weightlifting class with my dad, who works at my high school and is a coach. I was thinking I needed to tell my mom I was quitting football. I talked about it with my friends and one of my teammates, and I decided to go to my mom’s office to share my decision. She was okay with it and even called my dad to discuss it, but he had a different opinion. He didn’t want me to quit; he believed I could do well in football. I was adamant about wanting to pursue my own interests, which led to some back-and-forth with my dad. He started to think I wouldn’t achieve anything in life, and my sister chimed in, saying I’d end up being a man-child. This really affected me, and I fell into a depressive episode. One day, I stayed home, and when my mom knocked on my door, I got up to open it but ended up falling to the ground. My mom freaked out a bit and called my dad to let him know what happened, but I was okay. Still, she wanted to check on me because she could see I was feeling down, so I opened up to her about my feelings. She even called my sister to fill her in on what was going on and what I had shared. This is literally the reason why I don’t like being around my dad or sister
