ive been thinking about quitting kendo class. maybe its because its only my 5th or 6th session but it all seems like a chore to me. i don't want to dissapoint anyone or waste their money invested in doing kendo just for the selfish reason of mine to just quit. i have no passion, excitement, energy, or enjoy,ent when i do kendo. i enjoy seeing my cousins happy though, so i'll try my hardest to hold back from saying how much i just want to stop doing it, and will endure it for them. i'll try my hardest to like the sport so i wont feel bad about attending anymore. i didnt even want to go in the first place, but how could i let myself see the dissapointed face my cousin would make had i said no?

list of why i should continue kendo
* health benefits
* cousin will be happy
* dads money wont be wasted
* sensei will be happy
* new oppurtunity

list of why i should quit kendo
* i dont want to go
* i wont be happy doing the sport
* it wastes hours of my day necause i find no enjoyment or benfits that are worth so much of my time
* i wont have to pretend i like going anymore
* i wont have to be worried or stressed about it because kendo is more like a punsihment than an art i'd like to learn

If you don't like a sport then don't do it. For example, if I didn't like video games then why would I play video games?

But I do understand where your coming from as I was in the same spot once. If you've lost interest in a sport then be honest with your dad and cousin.

If your not happy doing something, then why would your dad be happy? If your dads a good dad then he would want to see you happy and smiling and having a great time doing something.

Conquering oneself is the hardest lesson to be learned amoung all those pros and cons you've given.

I would just be honest with your Dad and cousin. Maybe arrange to catch up with them and commit to finish the block of lessons already paid for. They will appreciate it in the long run. What I wouldn't do is quit without speaking to them first particularly as your Dad has paid for the lessons.

Do what makes you happy. I did what my dad wanted me to do and i cried nights and i still do and now there is no going back

give 3 months, then see where you are

things worth doing aren't necessarily easy
