Well, I feel better having you guys.

A few clarifications:

She is 16, so yes she's a minor. Second, all three of her coaches and her trainer all know about her injuries, and they all still push her. The school is one of the worst in the state for sports, and they all see her as the ticket to the big time. It disgusts me.

She wants to run, she loves it. And I am fine with that. What I am not fine with is her getting hurt like she does. She has deep muscle scarring on her left leg from cross country, and who knows what tonight's xrays will turn up? I understand bumps and bruises, heck I do that in my own kitchen. But the reason she falls so much is because of her injured leg, and everyone but me just keeps pushing her to keep going.

I just feel like the only voice of reason, and I'm getting drowned out by everyone else telling her she could be one of the best if she just ignores the pain and tries harder.
