Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : 
I’m a 14 year old boy who has just moved from the country that I have been living in for my whole life. I used to live in the countryside where there was a lot of space for sports and other activities for my friends and I. However, recently I moved to a dense city where there is no space for any of the sports I used to do. On top of this the people in my school smoke and go clubbing which I find uninteresting. All of this has caused me to be quiet and quite depressed. I am a lot more insecure now and can hardly speak to people without panicking. 

Now on to the actually story. I did actually find one sport in this city and that was rowing. It seemed that I progressed quite well in rowing and my teacher was very ambitious with me. I don’t  really want to any competitions just yet because I am still very new and have only been in a group boat two times. However a week ago my coach told me that I was going to go to a completion this Sunday. This made me panic but I didn’t know how to tell him that I didn’t feel ready or capable of doing a competition, so I just told him ‘yes’. For the rest of the week I was panicking for the competition and kept telling my mom that I wasn’t ready and didn’t want to do it, but she kept telling me ‘No you have to do this’. She telling me this got me to feel that I couldn’t let her down and that I had to do this for her. One day I finally managed to tell the coach that I don’t feel ready but his only response was ‘No you’re ready’ and I didn’t feel like I could talk back to him so I just replied ‘Ok’.

Then, the day before the competition I have one training session with the people who I’m supposed to row with in the competition. Keep in my this is my seconded time in a multi crew row boat so my technique was far from perfect. I heard the others in my row boat speak in French which I could speak slightly so I could just make out what they were saying. I heard how they were making fun of how I rowed and how they wanted me off the boat and they made fun of my accent (my accent is slightly Scandinavian) and just in general made fun of me. I also felt that I wasn’t rowing so well and couldn’t keep up with them. This really put me off the competition and I absolutely did not want be in this competition. I came home and began telling my parents how my rowing team doesn’t like me and that I absolutely do not want to do that competition. However they told me that I got myself into this situation and that I had to fix it. I didn’t feel like I could tell my coach ‘no’ just because he has so much expectations for me and I just didn’t feel secure enough to call him. In the end we gotten in to an argument and to make a long story short, I kind of wanted them to help me send a text or call my coach and tell him I can’t come, they said no, I got mad and locked myself in my room which brings us to now. 


I really just wanted to let off some steam to know if I’m wrong for getting angry

Sorry if my English is wrong
