I'm a terrible son

[green]

Ok so I do airforce cadets but I want to quit. Thing is I've gotten like a pocket knife and stuff for it for Christmas. This is also like the one thing I've been able to do with my dad. It's helped me talk to him more and I don't want to lose that. What should I do

Why do you want to quit? It seems to be bringing you closer to your dad. Something that's special. Savour the time you get to spend with your dad. He won't always be around.
There must be something stronger that you don't like, to want to quit?

Maybe you can tell him that you dont want to do Airforce, but you dont want to loose the relationship and the bond between you both. Maybe you could ask him if you can change to a position that you would like more? Its nice to hear that you are bonding with your father, but make sure you take up other activites to keep the bond between you both strong.
Im here if you ever need to talk
:hug:

i want to quit because whenever i go on the camps and stuff everyone else has their own little groups that no matter how hard i try i cant penetrate them. no one really wants to talk to me.

I used to be an air cadet. It was the same with me and my dad. He is ex-RAF so therefore he liked the idea of me following in his footsteps. I enjoyed cadets at first, but after a while I realised it wasn't for me. I quit, and my dad was obviously dissappointed, but you can't live your life for someone else.

What if you carry on and then your dad expects you to join the RAF? You can't do that just because your dad wants you to. You can't let him control your life. If you really don't want to be in cadets, leave. My dad got over it, i'm sure yours will too.

Maybe you can find another hobby that you can do together instead? :)
