Do you want to stop tumbling and start gymnastics again? Or do you just want to stop tumbling all together? Either way I think it's a good idea to just sit down with your mom and tell her what you want in a calm and mature way.

Do you want to stop the tumbling? From an adults point of view I think extra curricular activities are A Good Thing, and I'd be worried you were going to hang around the house, or street corners with your friends. Also the exercise thing, I'd be worried about you not being as fit and healthy without that...

Can you ask your mum why she won't let you stop?

Is there anything else you'd like to do? Another sport? Dance? Or even some other hobby like music? Giving up gym will allow you to try a whole host of other stuff, and your mum might be more accepting if you tell her you've gone as far as you can in gym, but would like to give x a go instead.

Or you could run. One of the moms at our gym said she chased her daughter around the parking lot crying to get her to go into practice at their old gym. I'm sure that was fun....

dunno...... your inbox might be full to overflowing. Can you make some room? I keep getting an error message when I try to reply to you, saying your box is full.

I agree with Faith. What is it YOU want to do?
