Hi
so this year the olympics are coming to London, and my P.E teachers had this bright idea of having an `olympic themed` sports day. They announced that we all have to do 5 SPORTS EACH. we don’t get to choose the either, we have to do a 100m, 800m, high jump, shotput and discus. I am terrible at running, i am the worst in my class, i always lag FAR behind the others and get tired out from just doing half of the 100m. I know it sounds pathetic, but i have inherited none of my parents talents for athletics, it’s not that im lazy, i honestly try my hardest in every lesson i just can’t seem to do it. As for high jump, i resemble somewhat of a retarded seal. I have tried talking to my parents about it but they say that it is not optional, i HAVE to do it and i am not getting the day off. i know other kids will get the day off though and i’m not that good a liar to say i have hurt my leg or something
so can somebody please help me, please no hateful comments and please don’t say just go because it’s only 1 day!

act like your not trying your best. and laugh about how stupid sports day is and how dumb you and your friends looked….
if this dont work pretend you got direa and say that if you run youll leave a trail of brown gooy stuff behind you ……………….
Two options here as far as I can see. The first would be not to go…or go and refuse to compete. This is what I used to do in school whenever we had football in the ‘Dutch Barn’, one dap across the bum was a cheap price to pay to be able to sit it out and watch the idiots running around kicking a bag-o-wind.
The best option, and one that will get your point across to how you do not want to do this is to go to the meet and enter in all the events and finish last. Do not exert yourself, run well within your limits and do not worry in the least about finishing last. To hell with what the parent’s will say, Teachers will say, other entrants will say…you do not want to do it and that is a good enough reason.
I once had to write a 500 word essay in school titled “The importance of physical education in the school curriculum”. My essay consisted of exactly 500 words made up of the sentence: “There is no value in physical education in the school curriculum”. The essay finished in the middle of the sentence. For this I had 6 canes (6 of the best) across the hand but my point was made. I don’t believe sport should be forced on anyone. I think you need to make a stand as well.
