I need some advice in what to say to my parents. They are forcing me to play a sport that I dont want to play. Can you help me?

just tell them. your parents should understand. they wont force you to do something that you dont like. tell the truth. the worst that can happen is that they will be disappointed and give you teh silent treatment for the next few days (which is very unlikely). so prepare for that. be ready for the worst.
good luck!

just be honest with them, i mean it is your life they shouldn't be telling you what you should and should be doing in terms of what sports to play. so just tell them how you feel, im sure they would understand

It's better to be honest with them and tell them exactly how you're feeling than to hide it or try hinting it to them.


Just tell them you need to talk to them, sit down with them, and go. Explain to them that you don't want to play, WHY you don't want to play, and that you feel like they're pushing you to do something you don't want to do. Don't be afraid, they're your parents, and they'll most likely understand =]

Sometimes parents can be forceful in making their children do what they wanted to do as youngsters. However, you need to sit down and have a serious conversation with them. Tell them that you do not want to participate in this sport. Tell them what you would like to do instead of that sport. Also tell them that if they do force you to play, you will never be happy and will not be able to be a good player since your heart won't be in it as it would if you were doing what you actually wanted to do. Good luck

Just look them in the eye and tell them you really don't want to play and that you won't have any fun. If that dosen't work,keep telling them over and over so they get the message that you are serious about that. Hope this helps!
