Does this make me a bad trumpet player?

i play the trumpet. i've been playing it for 4 years now. but the thing is i can't really hit those high notes, especially ones off the scale, and hold it. the reason why (this is what my mom thinks) is because of my allergies and some breathing problem i have. it's not asthma but something else i guess. since i can't play that high i usually get 2nd or 3rd trumpet parts. since i started playing kids have told me to quit because i sucked and they've told me i'll never be good and blah, blah blah. i never did quit and i don't plan on quiting. i like playing the trumpet. but since i can't play real high does it make me a bad trumpet player? i also find that it sucks that i waon't ever be able to play really high like you see people in bands and orchestras and stuff. now that's depressing because it's so cool how they can get so high. i wish i didn't have this breathing problem.

Does this make me a bad trumpet player?
It doesn;t make you a bad player at all.You just are not getting good breathes for playing the trumpet.I wouldn;t listen to those who say you suck and all that; as you are a smart young girl; and you know if you cannot get the higher parts; go for the lower ones,
Reply:Being able to play high does not automatically make you an excellent trumpet player, especially if your tone quality is wretched. If you are really good at the lower parts, lead the seconds and thirds.
Reply:that does not make you a bad player....its all about tone...i've actually heard the higher the note you can hit, the worse your tone gets.
