I think if you are more worried about your mom and dad being annoyed with you for stopping than anything else then you may have answered your own question as to whether to continue.

As the guys say, with any martial art and anything in life, sometimes you have to simply stick with it and come out the other side. But don't beat yourself up about it - doing something you no longer enjoy because you feel duty bound may not be a good reason for continuing.

Have a good think about why you got into kendo in the first place and see if those reasons still hold true. Talk to your parents too if that is bothering you. Maybe talk to your sensei too.

I'd consider setting myself a time limit - say 6 weeks - where you never miss a session and throw yourself into it wholeheartedly and at the end of that time - reasses. If you feel the same way then fair enough, move on. But you may find that you have rekindled your passion and you are just in calm waters right now.

Hope this helps.
