Could use some life help/advice/need to rant

So I haven’t told anyone except Slimy about this, and even him I haven’t really told much about it, I know that this might not be the place for this always, but I trust a lot of you guys. So what happened was I got kicked out of swim practice one day, it was a morning practice and I was tired and all that, so I wasn’t going all that fast, the summer coach asked me to get out and I didn’t, 3 times. I didn’t want to get kicked out because I knew if I did I’d get in trouble and my friends would probably be mad at me still. But I’m kinda dumb and am happy with my half developed plan. Well, it backfired (my luck) and my friends won’t really talk to me, sometimes they would text me. The real reason they aren’t really talking to me is their parents think the coach is some god. So it was pretty lonely but I do still have a friend from school who I play with (anyone in my Discord, that’s Ahrix). Well, that’s the backstory, I could deal with that, I knew my friends would come around, I knew I just needed to prove that I wouldn’t do that again (I’m probably not going to do long course season for swim anyway next year) but then something else happened. My friends were talking to me occasionally and playing games with me occasionally. It was starting to get better. Then I get a text from my friend saying to get on Xbox. I was pretty excited because I figured this would be the day that I get to play with them for more than a few games and they might start talking to me like they used to. I was wrong. They invited me to a party, I joined, then my friends asked me why I used one of them as an excuse as to why I got in trouble. I didn’t do that. Let’s call the guy I supposedly used Steve. So when I was explaining to my mom what happened when I got kicked out, I did mention Steve. There is another guy involved. He’s kinda one of the few people that get me really pissed off and he is very obnoxious. We’re going to call him Bob. So when the coach told me to get out, I kept swimming, Bob came and started grabbing my legs and stuff. Then Steve came out and started talking to me. What he told me was the only reason I went back and got out. The reason I mentioned him in my explanation to my mom of what happened, was I said something along the lines of “I would have punched Bob in the face if Steve hadn’t came and started telling me to go back.” That is the only time I mentioned him. So that means someone is spreading something. My friend Steve said the coach told his mom that I said that about what I told her about why I got kicked out was his fault. I hardly even talked to the coach. I didn’t tell her that at least. What do I do? Thanks for any advice guys. Sorry it was really long just need to rant and get this out :/

    Ah....memories...none of them good ones. 1. Unfortunately this kind of political crap that swirls around school aged sports teams is sometimes just unavoidable. Especially when parents start getting involved. It can get pretty crazy-making for the kids. 2. You need a new set of "friends". Because WHATEVER it was that took place between you and the coach that led you to getting kicked out of practice was [b]none of their f-ing business[/b]. Bob had no business playing "enforcer" and trying to haul you out of the pool (he'd have gotten his ass kicked if he'd tried something like that with me at that age). ...and they had even less business making it an issue AWAY from the pool. Real friends don't treat you the way these individuals are. 3. You may be doing this already, but you may want to rethink your involvement in swimming. Because it doesn't sound like you're enjoying what it is you're doing...and it sounds like there is a pretty toxic environment around this team. I played YEARS of recreational, as well as varsity high school football and baseball....as well as Division I collegiate baseball. I NEVER saw a coach kick anyone out of practice for simply having a bad day....and a team member trying physically eject another team member from practice. Unless you're trying for a college scholarship or the Olympics....you don't need this...and if you arent' having fun, there's no reason to put up with it. Find something else you enjoy doing, and let those fools make each other miserable. Hope this helps.
