writes:hey i'm 15 and i'd like to know if what i'm doing is normal. I work in a dojo/school with my sensei/teacher to help pay off lesson costs. And because my school messed up my time table i'm going to work there in some of my free periods(which i shouldn't have). My sensei often asks me to come in for about midday on tuesday's but i almost always ask if i can come in for 9am. Every time he asks why and i always avoid the question because i don't want to have to say to him that i'm lonely and this is pretty much the only way i can get any human interaction. Is it normal to want to work yourself hard just to have some company? On tuesday's i'm often working 12 hours that day, always asking for more jobs to do. Sensei said i could go home as there's nothing left to do but i said i didn't want to go, i them lied and said i didn't have the money to get back. He's concerned about me, i can tell, but i don't want him thinking it's my parents fault because it's not. Please tell of what i can do to resolve this dilema any help will be much appreciated anon x

 There's nothing abnormal about wanting a little human contact, we are social creatures after-all. I do think you should tell your Sensei whats going on though. So much in martial arts is about respect and trust, & he might be able to help.

i have to tell him though whether it's now or later. otherwise he might call childline or something to question my parents, which is certainly something i don't want to happen.
thanks again for the advice.
