Working hard and it still being worth it is one thing, but that doesn't mean something that isn't as hard (by involving teachers and parents) is not worth it. If you are able to get the help that you deserve then why not take advantage of it rather than struggling? And as Eric said, and I can vouch that neoshaakti feels the same way*, students move on and without a solid foundation of adults (even parents), a team cannot last as long as it could with those parents. I appluad your team Libby for taking charge of your team, however.
I know where you are coming from though.
*2554 is going through this right now
Students are seriously like variables when it comes to running a team, you need the constant of adult mentors or parents.

Yeah Stogi is right here. Students come and go, but mentors can be there forever. Look at some of the sports teams in your school...how many times does your school get a new tennis coach?
And yeah, I have been in a similar position where I managed TIMS, wrote the NASA grant, marketed/ fundraised, wrote sponsorship letters using the voice of my coach, etc etc
Transitioning power is proving to be difficult, because like Eric said...what happens when that one kid who plays coach leaves?
I think you'll be fine, right now you might be freaking out a little and thinking that hitting the reset button is your best option.
I think that some compelling opinions have been stated. Look into your other options man...for your sake
Worst come to worst, go to your guidance counselor
haha
