taekwondo belt?

hi, i’d like to learn taekwondo, but i’m 14 and i feel like a white belt girl at 14 is a bit embarassing… so i’m just wondering, how fast can i… “move” to the green belt/red belt/black belt??

i’m 14 years old, normal height, has a bunyon foot,a bit aggressive, best at sports, pro at soccer(i’m telling you this cause i think it might help with the kickings and stuff?), a bit shy,

TaeKwonDo?

I am in TaeKwonDo. I really don’t like going at all. I am a red belt and I am two belts away from black belt. I am really not wanting to go anymore. I have been going there for a year and a half and I just want something new. It has gotten me into really good shape. I don’t want to quit because of the working out. I want to quit because its just not fun anymore. I am feeling a lot of pressure on this, my dad will call the school and tell them I am quitting. It would be a huge suprise because I have not shown any signs that I want to quit. But I do! If you need more details please ask and then edit your question. This is a tough decision! Please help! No stupid answers please! Thanks in advance!
I like your answer lolo.
Or should I just wait till I get my black belt next spring? I need help!
Actually I go to a GrandMasters School. 9th degree. We must have a different belt system then you.

Should I buy shin guards with or without instep protection?

I’m a red belt in Taekwondo but we haven’t done any contact
My Taekwondo club requires me to get shin guards for training and I’m wondering if I should get them with instep protection. So far we have not done any contact sparring in my new club.

I wouldn’t want to put up with stiff and uncomfortable feet unless its crucial.

For Taekwondo Practicioners ???

After three years off from Taekwondo, I’am back again to resume training. I’am currently an Intermediate red belt. The next rank I have to test for is Advanced Red Belt and then finally Chodan/1st Dan. I’am very dedicated to the art and I really want to succeed and train hard to achieve the rank of 1st Dan.

How many days a week would you recommend training ??? Two, three, four or more ???

What martials should I do?

Am 16 years old and between 5″ – 6″(don’t really know my height or weight). I am skinny but not flexible. I work very hard when it comes to improving something. I did boxing for 4 months but moved here but am thinking of trying a different martial arts.(going to gym soon) but have a lot of stamina (am in the athletics club).I have recently been interested in martial arts but don’t know what one to do because there a lot of them near my area.I like the belt system they use in karate because I make a goal like achieve a red belt by 6 months etc. I was gonna visit the martial arts ones that are in my area but I figure it would take too long. So, what do you guys recommend I should do. I want an martial where it can help me in a street fight (fighting multiple people etc.) and also maybe some weapon handling. I would like to spar with people to see how much I progressed. I an martial arts where mainly I will like meet people in my age so I can spar make friends, rivals etc. I wouldn’t mind joining tournaments and stuff like that. I just want something I can mainly focus on achieving like self discipline and things like that.
These are some of the martial arts that are in my area:
Akido
Boxing
Capoeria
Tai chi
Karate(Shotakan and Kyoushin)
Kenpo
Kung fu
Kick boxing
Tae Kwon Do
Jiu jutsu (BBJ too)
Wushu
Judo
Shaolin way
Wing chun (kinda far away)

I’ll leaven up to you guys what do you think thanks. (sorry for my spelling and my paragraphs not making sense i apologise).
