Im a classically trained pianist who has been playing for 12 years now ... ever since i was five and ive wanted to quit for as long as i could remember. My parents always give me the summer off to relax from piano and i start again w. my teacher in september. Every single summer i never come near the piano. My parents always forced me to play and i hated playing .... although im pretty good at it.... ive auditioned for a lot of gigs for piano and was never rejected.... ive played at carnegie hall, lincoln center, merkin hall, etc. I hate playing classical music.... I also can sing. Im a vocal major and piano kind of gave me an advantage at being a vocal major because i can easily read music and accompany myself. My parents never gave me an option of quiting piano until this year. Summer is almost over and im going to be a senior in high school. My parents finally are allowing me to make the decision of quiting. Ive always said if the decision was up to me i would quit but now they are finally giving me a choice after 12 years and i dont know what to do. Some people are telling me if i quit i will regret it.... some of my voice teachers said i shouldnt quit because being able to play piano as a vocal major is a great advantage that most vocal majors dont have.... my friends are telling me that if i dont enjoy it then i should quit because they see how much i hate it and i have already gained a lot from it .... and its not like im pursuing piano as a career.... also once i stop i can never really start again because my teacher who i have had for 12 years is holding my spot... once i say im done she will replace me with another student and she wont have time for me. I mean its not like i will never play again i will always accompany myself when i sing .... im also scared to lose my ability to play classical music..... idk wat to do... ive always had a problem with change ... maybe im scared of letting go but idk... i feel as though what I want is different from what the right thing is to do... should i quit or no? please give me some advice thanks:)

I barely eat anymore... and when i think about food i feel nauseated and i dont want to eat it. My everyday lifestyle hasnt changed at all ... idk whats going on.

So im a girl and i have this guyfriend lets call him max and me and him r just bestfriends nothing moree cause well eww lol. and we go to this party together and I made out with some other guy who gave me a hickey. Soo my parents are the stereotypical russian parents and if they found out about my hickey my life would be over. Sooo when my mom accidently saw it she cornered me in the bathroom and demanded to know what it was and i told her my guyfriend max pinched me and whats funny is that she believed me.

So i txted max and told him what happened hoping he would find it funny and instead he got mad at me... hes like ur moms going to have a different opinion of me, and i told him she doesnt care, its been a week and im pretty sure my mom forgot about it and hes still mad at me! and i apoligized and he was like tell her the truth and I CANT DO THAT and i asked him if he was mad at me and he said no because im going to fix this.... i didnt know wat it meant and turns out max messaged my brother whose 25 and told him thinking my brother would tell my mom. Should i be mad at him...? because i felt like he crossed the line.

And...i talked to him today and i was like listen i dont want to fight about something stupid like this i apoligized for what i did and asked if he could just apoligize and we can forget this and he said hes not going to apoligize until i tell my mom the truth and he doesnt understand that what i did doesnt affect him in any way hes not getting in trouble for anything his life doesnt change based on what i said in any way but if i tell my mom the truth i would probably be disowned and what i did was completly different from what he did i feel like what he did was soo much worse. Anyways please help what should i do?

I tried talking to him but i cant get it through his head that what he did was soo much worse! HELP!

there is this girl that im not that close friends with. we are friends but we dont really talkk outside of work. today i found out she got hit by a car and broke her leg and her friends ran up crying and told me while i was at work and i randomly broke down crying. IDK why and i feel stupid doing so because im not really close with her and the people around me were confused to why i was crying. I guess i get very emotional when it comes to things like that such as death that i couldnt handle the news well enough so i cried. I feel soo stupid for crying because ppl kept coming up to me and going why are you crying you arent even close with her and being really mean about it. And i couldnt explain really why i was crying. Was it stupid that i cried? i just want some advice because i dont even know why i broke down like that i couldnt even control it.
