Point is very hard - I did it as a kid and it takes alot of endurance just likd gymnastics. Its not easy and dancing on toes that split and are bleeding can happen and foot injuries are an eventuallity. point can hurt your feet alot so do some research on it before you committ to a dance career. Just like gymnastics there are area where you can get injured like you are now.

no one can tell you what to do here. all I can say is talk to your mom and dad just like you posted here and see what they have to say. In the end you need to choose what will make you happy.
