Water Polo
Hi,
My parents really want me to play water polo. I do not want to play, however. I was on the swim team, but I do not want to play water polo. The coaches called me, and everyone in my family wants me to play but I don't want to play at all! (For many reasons). What should I do? See if I end up liking it, or not doing it.

I would suggest that you quietly and simply explain to yoir parents the reasons you don't want to add water polo to your list of activities. I thinl that if you told them that it might ake up too much time and intefere with your grades, they're more likely to be sympathetic than if you cited other hobbies.
That said, of course, you could compromise by offering to give the polo a try and then drop it if it gets too much. The snag of that solution is that while your parents might well be happy with it, your coach is far less likely to be. On balance, I really recommend just being assertive and telling them no:that is your right.
Good Luck.
