the one question u should ask ur self is : do u like doing that?
if u do, then u should simpely train less that u're now, but if u don't then just quit!It doesn't matter wut the others say cz this is ur life and u need to live it the right way!

I don't like this site because it doesen't show our ages. If you are so good that people think you are capable of going professional I'd stick with it. The Olympics, and playing professionally will bring so many social opportunities you won't be able to follow up on all of them.
For now concentrate on your education, which includes sports, and socialize only after you've taken care of business.
Trust me, you'll be a better man even if you don't decide to stay in the sport.

It shows the ages of people in their profiles if they put their ages down.

You should do what you want. No matter if it disappoints people in the long run. You are the only one that has to deal with your choices. No one else.

Well if you enjoy doing the sport, I'd say to try and juggle both.
Maybe you could invite your friends to your meets or something, and then go out for food&hang out afterwards.

If you practice so much, I guess that your ambitious parents are not your only source of motivation...
I'm sure you have friends in your team and you like this sport ater all.

Try to relativize your problem.

Moreover, every teenager has hobbies and social life. I'm sure your firends have. some spend time playing the piano, performing plays... and you playing water polo
if you stop training, what would you do? You would have to find something else.

why not decrease a little on training? quitting drastically might bring you to feel empty.. you know, if water polo has "accompanied" you for so long, you just leave it behind, you'll feel like you're lacking it.
