I don't care. Do whatever the hell you want. Go screw a cow, I don't care.
Skating is cool, I was never good at it, I was o.k., but was going nowhere fast. Just stick with it. Just don't listen to what anybody says, hell, don't even listen to me.
personally i think figure skating is a sport that is not very popular or beneficial for the male crowd but if it is a dream of yours, by all means pursue it. I would advise consulting your parent before jumping right into this odd lifestyle choice and be prepared for a look of shock and awe on their faces. You might want to ease the tension by providing a home cooked meal, soothing music, and plenty of tissues for your mother. Once the news is broken feel free to don your favorite pair of spandex and hit the ice! Best of luck to you and hope you succeed!
