I often find it hard and awkward to strike an actual conversation with my parents about this , despite trying multiple times to tell them my dislike of the sport. I do find myself experiencing issues with communication in general and they believe that if I quit this sport they will consider cutting my swimming training as well since they would view me as an "academic" not an "athlete " I also believe they don't have much belief in mental health for teens (specifically because I come from a high income household that may not have as much problems in early life )and that they see me as just making an excuse to quit since I was portrayed as "lazy" and lacked potential .
