Skipping practice
I am a senior in high school who has played football since I was in the 4th grade. I have loved it up until my junior year. In 8th grade I subluxed my knee cap causing my MPFL to weaken. I went throughout 10th grade year and I had done it a total of 4 times. One night in my 11grade year I was dog sitting for my friend who had labs that were both 120 lbs each. I was going to feed them and one of them runs through my knee and I end of finally tearing my MPFL. Well it was ** after that at football. I ended up having surgery and now by every coach I get made fun of for “getting hurt by feeding dogs” they don’t even acknowledge that I did it a previous 4 times during sports. And then my senior year I have started to get bullied by all kids younger than me. But I don’t say anything back ever cause I’m a nice guy. And I’m already diagnosed with depression and anxiety. So most days I’ll tell my parents I’m at practice and in reality I’m at practice just sitting in my truck cause I can’t stand to go into that place and get bullied by coaches and kids. Am I wrong for this?

I do not think you should sit alone like you are doing. It is not healthy for you mentally. I agree with your to skipping practice, probably should drop football all together. Find another sport or activity that you can do, something competitive is important for you. You certainty do not need ridicule or criticism from others. Good Luck
