I'M FREAKING OUT.
I think I got a stress fracture and I've already broken my elbow once from gymnastics.
I started in August and am a level 4. (I'm fourteen)
My parents started reading about the injuries, back problems, possible paralysis, and possible eventual arthritis.
GYMNASTICS IS MY LIFE. I cannot quit. I've tried other sports, and i do not care for any of them. They know how insanely obsessed I am with it, but they say my body is more important.
I can't change their mind! I CANNOT QUIT. I want to only do it for a couple more years, then coach. And I cannot coach if I only got to level 4.
I NEED some articles or statistics on proving that gymnastics isn't as full of risk as they think. Plus, how many problems could I really get, I mean I started at 13 and am only doing it for a couple years. I neeeeeeed help. My happiness depends on it. :'(
