Okay for the first time
ever, im going to vent.Here it goes...
So for my whole life, I've never known how to swim.
I've been put in multiple lessons when I was little and
multiple lessons now, but I'm still too scared to learn
how. Everytime I think about it, I always get really
sad. That's the only thing wrong with my life right
now. So my mom put me and my brother in swimming lessons (for
the millionth time) , which starts in 10 days. Every day, I
think about it, and think about how to try to avoid it. But
then another part of me tells me to stop avoiding it and man up and
just learn how to swim. Every time this happens and every
time i think up a strategy to make it easier for me to learn.
But every time I go to the pool, I just start getting more and more
scared and I end up chickening out. I really want to know how
to swim, but I'm just scared that I'm going to drown.
And another problem is that my lessons are on Thursday nights at
the rec center when a lot of people at my school go there to hang
out. And i'm afraid they're going to see me and tease
me when they see me at school. I don't know what to
do. Everyone is always going to waterparks and im just
sitting there like "i wish i knew how to swim so i could go to
all these waterparks and have fun." But I'm probably
never going to learn because im too chicken.

they usually start you out in the shallow part where you can stand :)
