<p>lol... dont even attempt to compare softball to wrestling... you dont lose 4 pounds of sweat in softball practice and cut 17 pounds in a week for softball...</p>
<p>if you wanna keep doing it bump up a weight cass or sumthing... but dude, if you quit you shouldt feel ashamed... u did it for 3 years... most people couldnt even handle 1</p>
<p>its not just a matter of enjoying it. if you enjoy it, but idk currently suck at, dont get pt, whatever, you're going to slowly stop enjoying it. and i think that's worse. so think that part over... you don't want your love of wrestling to fade...</p>
<p>With a couple thoughts and matches, I decided to stick with it - even though I am not in the Varsity lineup sadly. With only a couple weeks left to go, I just found out i have ringworm. Im currently applying lamisil and should be back in 3 days. I realized that wrestling is the only physical sport I have, and I'll never do anything so mentally challenging or wrestle again (mainly cuz I'm not at that level and I have no clue how college wrestling practice will be and if I could cope up with my classes). Nonetheless, thank you for all your supporting comments when I needed it.</p>
<p>If you hate it, I would say quit.</p>
<p>I was in band from 6th grade to 11th grade. While I was only okay in middle school, the band I was in was easily one of the best in the midwest, and when I moved I easily became first chair on my instrument (baritone) as a freshman in high school. I became section leader the next year for marching band (the only sophomore officer) and the band director wanted me to move up the ranks in the coming years to hopefully president. I was sophomore of the year, as I was first chair all-county and second chair all-district (ahead of juniors and seniors) and I got a superior at solos and ensemble. I had a solo at the state marching band competition my junior year also.</p>
<p>Problem was, I HATED band. I was already over-involved as it was, in SGA, NHS, FCA (as an officer junior year), track (freshman year), and swimming over 20 hours per week year-round. My schedule conflicted way too much, as I was forced to miss two conference swim meets (freshman, junior years) and several other club functions because of band practices, festivals, and what-not. I was graded in band, so I had to put that first even though I didn't want to. I just didn't find the same interest that everyone else had in it, and I basically hated just about everyone within the organization, as it was WAY too much like a cult. They all based their lives around it, and I tried my hardest not to, but I had to give up so much for it. Heck, I couldn't even be beau in the homecoming parade for FCA because I had to march in it. I basically was staying in it because I was really good at it, and it was something with leadership positions to put on college apps. </p>
<p>So at the end of my junior year I simply quit. My band director found out from someone else, and begged me (and a lot of others) to stay in it, but I just couldn't. I was going to for awhile, just as a normal band member who could miss basically whatever for other stuff, but I figured it was causing way too much stress, especially since I was going to be in SGA, NHS president, FCA captain, and swim team captain next year with 6 AP courses. Plus, I wanted to go to football games as a normal person. I was one of the few members who would use their entire third quarter break to go cheer as a part of the student section at games. Way too much of my life lied outside of band, and with it being such a cult-like, life-consuming organization, I just had to get out. I ended up writing a satire about me trying to get out but failing and ending up in an insane asylum, and got a really good grade on it for AP Literature.</p>
<p>I don't regret my decision at all, and find myself less stressed out and enjoying life more this year. People always used to say I would get depressed too much, or too stressed out, but I don't get any more of those comments this year.</p>
<p>Of course, I'm sure wrestling isn't that extreme, but it doesn't seem to be worth it too you, and frankly, I don't see why you would regret quitting. I'm sure it's too late now though, so go ahead and stay with it.</p>
<p>i just quit wrestling a month ago i don't regret it. i mean i tried to stay as long as possible but some things arent meant for everybody, ya know</p>
