Well, yeah, I have a problem.
I'm changing so much. And it's really confusing for me. Like, all my life, I was known for being a very good Basketball player. I was the high scorer and whatever.... Having people screaming my name from the stands and having them come up to me after the game and saying "Wow really good job!" And I would think, Who the heck was that?? But then I entered highschool. I'm a Freshman. I tried out for the High School Basketball team of course. Everyone says "No way u'll get cut ur way to good to get cut!" I got cut. But to be honest (This is what confuses me) I wasn't as sad as I thought I'd be. I mean, I was pretty upset that my friend, who is actually very bad to be brutally honest, made it over me. I'm playing on the town team, and I like it, but all my life all I ever talked about was going to UConn and playing Basketball.... But all of a sudden, I don't know if I want to do that. I'v been getting into Music.... I kinda want to be a Band Teacher.... But I can't explain this to my parents because 1. They arn't Musical people. 2. They would just think it's stupid. Also, I can't afford to get lessons for instruments or anything.... we're pretty tight on money here....I would really like to learn all the instruments in a band. But it seems impossible.
Any suggestions??

Getting into music is not a bad thing at all. Music is the greatest form of expression without words, and is understood across all languages. Don't stress about not making the basketball team. You're a freshman, so you still have plenty of time to work your skills up and make it next year if you try out again. And (no offense) music will probably get you farther in life than basketball, unless of course you play in the NBA or something to that effect. After college, basketball might not be an option (or maybe it will be; I have no idea how hard it is to get into professional basketball....), but music has plenty of opportunites. There are also tons of branches of music you can major in (education, performance, etc). And parents...well, don't worry about them. Just tell them you love music. It's your life, do what you want with it. They're not going to go to college and live your life for you. Ok, hope that helped sweatdrop
