Ive seen bad injuries but they do not occur very often.  paintball is actually one of the safest sports around because one slight infraction of the rules will have the player ejected form the premises.  i have played for years and i have never seen anyone ejected.

Dramaqueen, first you need to get a life. Kid's only 15, he doesn't know what the heck's going on. You might ask your parents to call the doctor and see about getting an mri, or some x-rays to see if there is oher damage that they didn't see. I have the same problem with my wrists, and i'm only 17 (darn skateboarding!). In the mean time, try icing it, and maybe a tylenol to ease the pain. As for little miss drama queen, ignore her, she's full of hot air.

you need practice. i hope when you played on your buddys field his field had a good air bunker set up. playing air ball is a different sport then playing any other type of paintball, especially if your just messing around with your buddies. i played woods ball for about 2 years, than spent about 600 on new equipment once i started playing airball. you must have good equipment, it wont be worth it to go out and get dominated. i hope you have a high end electronic marker with high pressure air. your also going to need electronic hoppers, and most of all, you need to have a harness. you must have atleast enough paintballs for about 3 hoppers full. no use for a front man or back man. you from man will get shot and your backman will get cornered. naturally you guys will be in different positions in the fron or back of the field. if you want to win, take it seriously. I have been playing for about 6 years, and play against Dynasty weekly. Dont be surprised when the guys you play have the best equipment. Lots of people you play will have the top of the line equipment, and it IS a big advantage, next to experience.

OMG!!! I hate that and let me guess everyone else will shoot you or tell you its too HOT if you suggest turning the air up? Im always freezing, it almost hurts so much Id rather roll into a ball and cry .

I agree with Angelina. You need to speak to a counselor or therapist as soon as possible. If your parents won't take you or cannot afford it, at least find a teen support group.

well, parents are really overprotective, especially if your the only child, or the youngest and you have older bro's/sis's that have gotten into trouble and they are just cracking down on you. but let your parents know that if they are too overprotective, that its not gonna keep you from doing things they are against, its going to make you want to do it more. Sit down, and talk to them, ask them why they are treating you how they are, and let them know how you feel because if you never express your feelings with them, they will just keep on doing it. If they do not stop, just try to stay away from home, i dont mean run away, but after school go hang out at a friends house, go shopping, go somewhere for a while so when you get home, all you have to do is do homework, then go to bed. If your almost 18, you only have a little longer to put up with this, but seriously NO parents should blame things on you if you didnt do them. Let them know how you feel, and then work from there. Good luck!

Sounds like someone is trying to hold you back. Ask you parents or HelpDesk for further instructions.

It is a firearm, so you must have parental consent because they are responsible for your actions until you are 18!\n\nJust like you cant buy playboy!

Well you know, you probably shouldn't be getin' into the computer in the way your making us think. And if you want one just ask for one, Don't you have parents?? You can go to them and ask them and ya won't get into trouble! Unless the computer thing was really really bad, bad enough your parents might not want you anymore..okay thats thinking negativ..wait im pesamitic so who cares?

Bully no more!  Yes I had a lot of bullys out to get me in anyway they could.  Try to embarrass me, for just being THERE!  Polinting at my body, saying things.  Saying how their families did this or that, and my parents were looser.  Which they were, but why take it out on me?  I couldn't wear the right thing, I wasn't allowed to wear makeup until I was 17!  My parents were well known in the neighborhood for their fighting and screaming, leaving my sister and I to go walk away from the house.  We were really young.  Bully's poke fun at people like us because "THEY CAN", what are we going to do about it?  Not much, going to adults - well, they don't seem to understand that this is SERIOUS!!!   You can't sleep, you can't look forward to going to school, even if you are going on a cool field trip, the bully's make it a horror, when you wanted to have fun and enjoy the trip-if it weren't for THEM!   Yep, know them well!  \nBully me now but I'll be the successful one in 25 years and eat my dust!  Stand strong but don't look weak.  It may hurt but act like you don't even see them near you?  Walk around them when they block your way, politely move to the side, or turn completely turn around and go the other way.  You can find another path in that direction once they give you up.  They will, if you don't look scared, or hurt, or look down at the ground you are giving THEM the power over you.  Take your power back!  Don't say anything, that's what they want.  They want a reaction.  When I stopped showing any reaction they got bored with me and found some else they could teast and poke at.  Keep your lips firm tight, look relaxed and a bit bored with them when they come up to you.  They ARE to be felt sorry for.  You have a life, they don't...obviously!   But stand firm in your own shoes, these types of people are all around us as Adults too!   Sometimes I'd like to really ask "don't you have a LIFE?  Am I all you DO in life".  Everyone else around you are seeing their bad behavior as well, and feel right there with you and are always thankful they are not you!  So you are not the only one being embarrassed by these bully's, everyone around them and you, see how sad the bully's life must be that they resort to such a stupid way to act.  I look back and am thankful I didn't turn out like them.  They are the ones in prison, or on drugs, probation, cigarette smokers mostly, alcoholics, theft records, loud, useless to society.  Build up a fortress around you in attitude, and pride!  They'll soon find some other fish to fry!!   You're much better than them even though they seem hurtful and want to make you cry.  And always.... THANK GOD YOU ARE NOT THEM!!!

arguments are never ending with parents..the peak of arguments ive had is when i was in my teens. Most of my arguments were why i shud'nt do all the things they told me not to do ! I tried to find out some of them, after unsuccessful arguments...but i realised much later that iam glad i didnt win all the time..

i haven't but came close. back when i was in second grade i was in a store and was in the sports area, when i saw a 20 pound free weight laying on the ground. then i tried to put it back on the shelf but it slipped out of my hands and i dropped on my left big tow. yes it hurt a lot but amazingly it wasn't broken but smashed and very badly bruised. as a result i had to get a splint for my foot and eventually the tow nail fell off.

Yes, when I was younger. Now that I am older I look back and think I was so happy about not doing it. Sometimes if you talk to your parents about what is bothering you  things can be worked out. Sometimes it can't be helped by talking to a parent. If a parent or caretaker is abusing you ...or you just want to talk to someone.
