Okay I am in gymanstics and there are diffrent levels right. I am a level four and my two best friends just moved up to level five. They have only been competeing for a year. It is very rare for a level four to move up to level five in only a year. I didn't move up thoguh. these two are the best gymansts in my level though. i am happy for them don't get me wrong but I am kind of jealous and mad becuase they did have a choice to stay and wait for me.

I have all my skills just like I should and one of my coaches wants to move me up but the other one doesn't. The level five and four teamwork out together on fridays and it makes me sad to see my friends becuase it just reminds me that I won't see them again untill next week when i hardly even see them on the friday that i do see them. Plus my friend Kim has seemed to find a new best frind who is a level five. Kim didn't even say a word to me on friday becuase she was too busy talking to Sam (her new friend). i am worried I am losing ehr as friend be cuase the e-mails she ahs been sending me have been getting shorter and the alst one had one word in it.

I have already confronted her about how sad I am and all she does is tell me taht i should have been moved up. I am so upset taht i cry about it sometimes. I am usually good at giving advice and I ahve already followed my own but it doesn't seem to work. Atleast not in this situation.

Please help me!

Wow i went through the exact same thing, but with dance. and its kinda funny cuz one of my friends that i didnt wanna lose was names kim. haha.
but anyway, it sounds to me that your friends might have ditched you. but honestly i think that if i had been in that situation, i may have moved up aswell. so really all you can do is work as hard as you can and move up as soon as you can. if one of your coaches already thinks your ready then all you need to do is make the other one see how good you are by working as hard as you can. put all the stress you have about losing your friend into your gymnastics... it'll make you work harder and before you know it, you'll move up a level. also, being in a lower level isnt always the worst thing... being better then the others in your level can give you a great boost of self confidence, which will make you work even harder and stand out, which will show ur coaches that your ready for the next level up!
but about your friend, if confronting her didnt work then there really isnt a whole lot more you can do. i know that i kinda lost my friend, and it hurt for a while. but if shes not gunna put in the same effort in the relationship that you are, then in all honesty, maybe the friendship isnt what you thought it was. but sumtimes email relationships are difficult... so if i were you i'd try to hang out with her on the weekends every now and then, it'll prevent you from loosing her completely and it'll still give you time to talk. but if it seems, after you hang out with her in person, that your friendship still isnt the way it should be then maybe just maybe its time to move on, because theres no point in putting sooo much effort into a one way relationship, where she isnt gunna give back.

~Hope it helps!

You know, soon enough you'll be ready to move up a level too.

Maybe there are some things you're better at then them. Be happy for them and make some jokes out of it like "Im catching up to you" or "I'm coming for the kill".

Your friends seem like they were put in a pretty hard descision. Although they did choose to go up a level instead of waiting for you, they're still going to be your friends.

I have to say, at my first horseriding gymkana, I was with two of my friends. One of my friends and I were really jealous of the other because she won every competition and got given the best horses.

Now that I look back on it, it's pretty stupid. It was only a small thing - but we're still friends and it definetely did not affect how good we are now at horseriding. We're all about the same level.

As for your friends ignoring you in your practice on Friday. Try to make some other friends in the Level 4 group. I'm sureyou'll like them because you all share an interest in the same thing, right? - gymnastics.

Just give it your hardest and impress your coaches with you determination and skills and soon enough you'll move up to level 5.

Goodluck with that! Tasha :)
