no one is supporting me in doing taekwondo?

my mum and grandma told me it was a boys sport and no girl should ever be doing a mans sport otherwise they will become manly. they think i will have overly large muscles and wont be attractive. my cousin and friend laughed at me when they heard it and my brother said “do what you want”. i feel like i have no support behind me. my friend and i went to our first class last week and it was fantastic. im going again but im paying myself since i dont want my mums money (not that she would offer anyway)
what do u think?
should i quit?
what are the benefits?

anybody ever done pilates?

I just ordered the winsor pilates video system and i was wondering if anyone else has ever done that and what your results were, i dont want to do something that wont be benificial.

Is it too late to have a hobby?

I am 17 and till now I havent stuck to a particlar hobby all my life. I have done several things like karate, yoga, drama and cross country but I have never done anything for more than few months. Its not that I am fickle but these were all short term programs. This day I saw these friends of mine on stage dancing and after that I saw them smiling proudly when everybody was congratulating them. I really wanna do something like that, join some sports or dance class but I have a feeling that I wont be able to do it for too long as I will be going to university and then when I complete my post secondary education, I will be like 23 and then you know I wont be able to do it for long

money bullying?

everyday at school people (black and some white people ask me for money) i say no then most of them threatened me or just say ok. some of them take stuff from me or steal from me. because of the stupid school locks at my school. they have a key hole behind the locks and most people at my high school has special keys to get in. i lost an mp3 and about 60$ this year. i stand up for myself but i wont work. they use their gangs because they dont know how to talk in words. they thing fighting and money is everything but is not. im learning taekwondo to defend myself and other martial arts.
what should i do now.
im 14, height 5,11 and im asian.
im not really strong and im slow but im smart but i dont give my 100% at school but now i will.
tell me what i should do, so i can get my respect back.
and most people say im a stalker just cause i have their msn and im not a stalker. their friends game me their msn. i tell them the same thing but wont believe me.
by the was this was last year. now i keep them in my pocket. i put them in my locker because in jym my teacher does not want to hold it so yea. so now every jym class i leave it at home and money i pput it under my shoes
