I am a 15 year old freshman I never pitched before, but I have this whole offseason until next year when im a Sophmore, and I want to be my varsity teams ace pitcher. Please dont say it is impossible. I will work at it six hours a day if I have to. I want it so bad. I have a lot of dedication so if someone can tell me in detail everything I have to do each day to achieve my goal I will be so thankful.

I’m and international student and I’ve recently enrolled in one of the private schools in the States. I want to play for the school team. I was just wondering, how to make it in the team. I know that it differs from school to school. Just basically how well would I need to pitch (i.e. what kind of pitches, what range of pitching velocity) and how well do i need to bat, as well as fielding. I would like to play shortstop and pitcher. I’ll be a sophomore next year. Thanks

My mother is a negative and EXTREMELY stressful person to live with. She drives me up the wall — but it isn’t my fault.
For years she has been emotionally and psychologically abusive beyond belief. She acts mean to me, then nice. It’s always like I’M the one stressing her out and responsible for her negative emotions. She acts like a child and she always has a high-pitched and squealy 11-year-old voice. She ALWAYS yells and screeches, and it hurts my ears so bad whenever she vocalizes. She’s ear piercing and I tell her it hurts, and she yells even louder. In the mornings every day before school she gives me a whole lecture on how to behave and what to do at school– and I’m an A-and-B student. I don’t need that, and I can’t take it much longer. I’m a good quiet student who does work and homework and studies and I don’t need the rundown every morning. My mom has no respect for my feelings OR privacy.. she tears apart my room when I am not home, until she finds exactly what I’m looking for– my diary. She reads it, refuses to give them back and when she does she puts it in a place where I wouldn’t think to find it in my room instead of where I left it.. She gives me looks of disapproval, unexplained answers like "Because it’s wrong" or "Because it’s inappropriate" or "Cause." Always says NO to me, crushes my aspirations and steps on me, every idea I have is crushed. She dominates the conversations and interrupts with a loud "NO" and if I’ll try to talk, she’ll scream "HEEEY!" until I literally shut up. It’s disgusting… She won’t explain or give me reasons why she says no to something… also she often gives me the silent treatment, tells me how much she sacrifices for me blah blah blah in attempt to make me feel sorry for her while feeling bad about myself, responsible for her negative emotions and unhappiness. She’ll promise me something if I get something done, and I do it and she’ll take it back and disregard what she said she would do for me if I did it, for example she was going to take me to the mall supposedly to buy me a new pair of boots i really want if I did extra credit for my history class, and I did and she was angry at me when I came home and I didn’t know why so I started crying and then she became all nice instantly and asked me what was wrong! And she acts like she’s on her period all the time, always giving me these evil death glares… I don’t get her and she seems very very irrational. She’ll also do something nice like bring me Jamba Juice food for lunch at school and we’ll have a really fun day, and the next morning she’s terrible and angry and MEAN. My grandmother is worse than her and has been verbally abusive since I was 2, ALWAYS screaming at me and calling me on the phone threatening to beat the … out of me until I’m black and blue.. I told my mom the other night and she told me I never ever have to see my grandmother again, THANK GOD.. I know she was abusive to my mom because my mom and her sister (my aunt) would always hide behind their dad (my grandpa) when grandma threw something. But that’s no excuse to take it out on me because any sane person would know that it’s not normal behavior! Also my mom dictates what I wear and instead of my leather jacket she makes me wear a school t-shirt and a fleece jacket instead of something she allowed me to buy with my own money, and I ask why I can’t wear something nice and feminine and she says BECAUSE. I can’t even dress like a lady, I wear what she says. It makes me want to say "Have another kid if you want to dress me up like a little kid!" Life is really miserable for me, and she thinks I’m "being disrespectful" when I have enough self-respect to calmly and rationally defend myself and my emotions/opinion, and I feel very invalidated because she acts like it doesnt matter. I’m stressed to the point where I cannot be around my own mother without feeling like I’m going to either vomit or pass out, I always feel like my head’s going to explode with terrible tension headaches, my digestive system gets messed up and now it’s to the point where her unnecessary drama is affecting my immune system. I’m getting sick (colds) etc. for a day and when I rest and take care of myself I’m all better until she starts up again and all of a sudden when she’s upset I turn into her therapist because she dumps all her stress and emotional baggage on me, telling me her problems. What can I do about it, honestly?!? Sometimes I just want to scream at her and punch her in the face! I always feel faint and nauseous now, even at school just thinking about her. She makes me sick. She’s just too much and I can’t take this stress for much longer. I don’t know how to relax anymore and I have panic attacks, sweating and hypervent
