Q: so i had been on this one winter swim team for like four years, but i was getting really sick of it and fed up with all of the people so my mom let me quit. i still do summer swimming and my middle school swim team, but neither of those things are going on right now. my other friend on the swim team quit the same time i did and she doesnt miss it but i really do. im thinking about joining a different winter team but im scared to do it alone. i know u are going to say oh just do it you will meet new people but im really shy and that would be like starting a new school for me. idk what to do i already asked my friend to do this volleyball thing with me so i dont want to ask her to do the swim team too when she doesnt want to... ugh im stuck.
A: You can't let fear hold you back. There are going to be in many many situations in life where you have no one but yourself to rely on. Are you going to get out of middle school and refuse to go to another school because you're shy and it's scary? Of course not. :) I think if you really miss it then you will challenge that fear and do it.
