Advice? :(

My Mom and Dad sighned me up for a sport a year ago, but my sister was the only one that wanted to do it. I stuck with it, but my sister and I both hate it. I keep asking to Quit, but they lecture me on how lucky I am to do sports after school, how I should be happy, instead of hate it, and how I'm being ungratefull. What should I do? I'm sick and tired (literally)of this sport, but my parents aren't listening.

@cynt5100

cynt5100 • 2 August 2012 at 3:35 PM

@cynt5100
ah...maybe talk to your instructor about it and see if they will talk your parents into letting you leave

cynt5100 • 2 August 2012 at 3:39 PM

@lynncrow
Never will they ever sent away buisness.

lynncrow • 2 August 2012 at 3:41 PM

@cynt5100
hmm...the only other thing is get with your sister and talk to both of your parents together explaining how you feel....they may get upset but if you talk to them long enough and be reasonable about it they have to listen at some point

cynt5100 • 2 August 2012 at 3:42 PM

@lynncrow
already done 3 times. Told you they aren't listening.

lynncrow • 2 August 2012 at 3:44 PM

@cynt5100
i know but sometimes thats all you can do to try and fix an issue...just telling them you arent going would get you in trouble and going and not participating wouldnt get you anywhere either

If my parents made me do a sport than I would die >.<
Tell them that you like to do other things or something along that line.

@cynt5100

I have the same problem. :/ I given up already.


Maybe you should tell them that you know how they feel and how they want you to go. First complimenting them is a good start (so they know that you know how they feel). Then, talk about how you feel. Use powerful words. Reflecting their actions/words is a good option. If they don't give in, try to make a bargain with them.

@lynncrow @lola622f Ive been explaining how boring, and awful the classes are for me, and how theres a girl in the class who bullies me, AND how I am sometimes pushed around by the teachers too. They just arent doing ANYTHING. ☹️

@olimpt
I do other things too. They just say I quit too much

lynncrow • 2 August 2012 at 3:50 PM

@cynt5100
i dunno how to help...when my parents refuse to listen i write them a letter, hand it to them, and go on with my day and see what happens

cynt5100 • 2 August 2012 at 3:51 PM

@lynncrow
done that too. >8O

lynncrow • 2 August 2012 at 3:53 PM
