ok so i am currently in the cadets and i want to stop doing it because i dont enjoy it and have no one to talk to. So how do i tell my mum that i dont want to do it anymore without dissappointing her because she is really proud of me being in the cadets.

Have a quiet word from her, away from other people and tell her your honest feelings.
Your mother isn't going to scold you for not wanting to do something voluntary anymore, or at least she shouldn't - it's your choice as to what you choose to do with your time.

Tell her the truth - that you don't enjoy it and find it a lonely experience. She should hopefully understand and be able to help you phase out of cadets and after that you might even find something else that you actually enjoy doing, if you look for something that is.

Hope this helped you out (:

tell her how you feel about it, but suggest other things you can do to make up for it :) or maybe, instead of leaving it, try to find some friends who also go... maybe that'll make it better? i hope your mum understands, and wont be dissapointed. i hate dissapointing people :/ xx

Well looks like it's already been answered properly, but what the hell.

Just talk to her quietly and alone about it. Don't be a dick, tell her that you've just lost interest in it. Maybe discuss with her a new hobby for you to get into, such as a musical instrument of some sort. You don't have to be in the cadets to make your mom proud, I'm sure she would be happiest watching you do the things you want to do most.

And she knows it.
