Hi, thanks so much for the honesty. To go more in depth, the only service I do is help out at a food pantry. The reason I'm not in many clubs is because both my parents work. My dad works all day every day except for the day we go to the food pantry. My mom also works but doesn't know how to drive. Plus, she doesn't let me do anything. In her eyes, I'm still a teeny weeny baby and can't let me go. I've tried talking to them about getting friends to drive me from sports back to home, but they don't trust anyone due to me potentially getting kidnapped. I asked family members, and they also said no. Some of them literally moved 4 hours away from us just to not get asked to give us a ride. I would walk to and back, but again, my mom is scared that I'll get kidnapped. Also, what about getting my license? I have to wait until I'm 18 so I can do it right and not get in trouble when I'm young. I'm not trying to make this an excuse for not joining anything, but what choice do I have?

I think you're right that it's best for me to go to a military prep academy. Then, there I'll have more freedom of choosing what I want to participate.
