ive hated this for several years and dont know how to quit?

Just tell them, it is that simple.... if you were your own child, wouldnt you want him to be happy?

They may try to convince you otherwise, or something, but they love, you, and that is an advantage you have.......

Let them know where your interest lay, and then ask them for their support......

Tell them thankyou, and that you love them and all their help, let them know what you have learned in the process.......

and those lessons you will carry with you.

happy new year

I'd just be honest with your friends and coaches - even if they are family. It's your life and you have a right to change your mind and your interests. If you want to try another sport you have a choice to do so. It matters more what you think about yourself, and doing something as an extracurricular activity which you don't enjoy, sounds like a bad deal. It's not about your friends or your family, it's about your life's opportunities.

If you were my son, *even if* I was disappointed, I'd just want to know why you changed your mind. I'd be okay in the end, because I'd know you were allowed to take care of yourself.

Well, this is something you will have to take a stand on by yourself. I would just tell them why you don't want to wrestle and that you're going to quit. Be specific, and don't back down if you're serious.
