Life crisis

Jimmy11 — Wed, 27 May 2026 07:34:42 GMT

Hey there,

recently I had done something at school which I shouldn't have and now it is impacting my grade and my life. My parents decided to make me quit soccer as a punishment and soccer is my favourite thing in the world. It makes me happy, stay fit and socialise with people with similar interests. Initially the punishment was to miss a week to catch up with studies, but for some reason they decided to make me resign fromt he academy i was playing at on the excuse of my ankle injury. I feel really sad and hopeless at my situation right now. I realise that my choice wasn't a good one and I understand the punishment from school was necessary, but getting soccer cancelled is a genuine heartbreak. Please give me some advice on how to deal with this situation.

Hey there Jimmy,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums, I hope you find this community to be welcoming.

I'm sorry about the tough time you're going through right now, it sounds really disheartening since you mentioned you love soccer. It's good to know that you have reflected on the situation and realised that whatever the punishment was from the school, it was necessary, but the punishment from your parents seems harsh. I would suggest trying to talk and reason with your parents if you haven't already and maybe if you improve at school, they'll let you return to soccer in the near future. There's not much you can do since the situation is out of your hands, but I would try my best to prove that I am mature and responsible to go back.

I recommend talking to your school psychologist too for support in navigating this. I hope you do return to soccer soon and keep practicing.

All the best,

. Recently I was forced to quit soccer. I have been playing for 3 years, and i finally built nough skill to join an academy. The academy was my dream come true, but it was far away, costly and i was "underperforming". At first they were super happy that im playing at a high level away from negative teammates and coaches, they know how much it affected me last season. My parents were looking for excuses to make me play at my old club, saying the coaching here isn't good and they're just trying to take your money. I had friends that would take me to most of my trainings and matches and still my mum would complain. Now that im not playing anymore, i have realised the same thing as you. Losing a part of identity from a passionate hobby is hard, but then i remebered a time where i wasn't even allowed to go out of the house. I still play soccer at school sometimes and watch it so i can still be updated. Now i am working towards getting a job to pay for soccer and getting a drivers liscence so i can support myself. Please give me some advice on coping and thanks for reading.
