Following through on a commitment to do something which turns out to be
harmful or counterproductive or wasteful or soul-draining builds pain and
sorrow.

An eleven year old is not legally of an age to make binding contracts.
A commitment without knowing what really is to come is entering a tunnel
blindly. To follow every blind tunnel to its end no matter how painful is
not wise.

Perhaps it's better to learn not to make commitments to things not tested a
bit first.
