Should I do football?

I know i've started asking questions lately but thats not the point.

Me and my girlfriend started fighting today because I was gone after school for two hours, for football practice. It was the last practice, but things happened at her house and it led us to fighting. It was a pretty bad fight. Now I don't know if I should do football or not. She was complaining because we didn't talk and cause I wasn't there for her. And now she's telling me to do football so I can be happy. But me being happy isn't really important. I've been numb before her. So fights don't occur as much to me. I'm okay with not doing football but it's just so crammed up right now. Football or no?

I don't think you should sacrifice anything school related -- whether academic or extracurricular -- for your social life... and especially not for a girl. A great deal of value comes from participating in team sports in school. It provides great structure, discipline, opportunities for goal setting, opportunities to learn to work cooperatively with others (which will greatly benefit you in your professional life), etc.

It might not seem like it right now, but you will get over your feelings for her. There will be other girls... many, many other girls... better girls even. Instead of being in this crazy relationship with a mentally unstable girl who manipulates you with suicide threats, you could one day be in a healthy relationship that will feel so much better! Dude, you're going through way too much for this relationship. You've written about a number of other significant stresses in your life; in my opinion, these gf issues are a source of stress that should be eliminated.

Focus on school, get into a good college where you can at least be physically away from your home issues, and begin to build the wonderful life you have the potential to create.

It's decided. I'm going to do football. Going to go buy a duffel bag tomorrow, cleats and gloves for my position. Thanks skyDancer.
umm I would go with sky dancer's idea but if your girlfriend truley thinks you should do football because it make's you happy maby you should consider this as her knowing what makes you happy or what you are into maby she had the change of heart because you were not showing what it is that you truley like to do or think about this is what you call taking a active interest in each other which makes it a true relationship.
