My parents dont let me do ANYTHING!?
Okay my parents seriously won’t let me do anything, as in extra curricular activities. The only one I do is playing piano which is okay but is pretty boring. When I was 7 I wanted to take dance classes but they wouldnt let me. When I was 8 I wanted to try gymnastics but of course, they wouldnt let me. Then when I was 10 I wanted to be in the school play but once again they said no. When I was 11, I wanted to try tennis but they said no again. When I was 12, I wanted to take a singing class for my love of singing but they said no again. Now, I’m 13, last summer, I wanted to take a camp and my mom said she’d sign me up for some but she NEVER did. And I ended up staying home the ENTIRE summer and we went on no vacations too. I wanted to take up a tumbling class but they said no too. MY PARENTS DONT LET ME DO ANYTHING! It’s so unfair because I really wanted to do all these things and they wont even let me try! :’( Money isnt a problem either. PLEASE HELP, all my other friends get to do so much extra curicular activies like softball, swim team, gymnastics, the school play, dancing, etc. It makes me so jealous and mad at the same time! What should I do?
J-Rodrigues – How am I changing my sport each year when they wont let me even actually play a sport to begin with?!
Im sorry, that sounds like a bummer.. its sad especially since you are so willing to participate in these activities.. it can build strong character and help you succeed in life. Unfortunately with stubborn parents, there isn’t much you can do. Maybe there are other reasons they are against them, since you say it isn’t money.. try asking them why they are so against it.. that’s all you can really do is try to talk to them about it. I would of loved to do all those things when i was a kid, unfortunately money was the problem. Good Luck!
Are you responsible and mature for your age? Can your parents trust you? Ask them to give you a chance if you’ve done nothing for them to treat you this way. Try to find out what their fears are. Good luck! It’s great you want to be active and involved in these fun activities!
talk to your mom about it,thats all you can do,tell her that she have to let you try sometthing that you really enjoy the most.and that you dont want to waste your time without doing something.You are grown up and intelligent kid,tell her that dont worry too much that you will get hurt,you have to try it so you can learn from it.tell your mom that you can be trusted and how this really can help you build your confidence.Thats what my daughter told me when she really wanted to try ice skating.Of course i resist,but she talked to me about it and i ended up trusting her,and letting her go and grow up and develeop.Thats it hope it helps you! goodluck kid! : )
EDIT: dont listen to that moron timizzle! i think that guy is suck in everything! even giving his opinion sucks!
I guess they think u suck at everything
Aww boo hoo hoo, let me get a tissue to wipe my tears. *SARCASM*
They don’t let you do them? Show more initiative and then they’ll let you start. Changing your ideal sport each year shows that you can’t really make a decision.
