Just tell them that you really want to focus in school this year and by doing Cross country you wouldnt be able to foucus as much as you want. and if they dont fall for that than just be honest with them. you dont want to do it and you cant really run well. good luck and i hope i helped<33

You should sit down with them and tell them that you are not the best runner. And that you don't want to do cross country. Tell them to give you a chance to find something that you like and are good at.

Maybe if you explained to your parents that you don't think cross country is very fun because you can't run very well and you dont know anyone there then maybe they'll understand.

I've gone through this too... when my parents forced me to do a sport I was terrible at and thought was no fun at all.

If telling your parents why you don't want to do cross country doesn't work, I have a plan B for you: Try out a different sport.

There are so many sports out there to try, and I guarantee you'll find one that you like. And if you're worried about not knowing anyone on your team, get a friend to do the sport with you.

:) I hope I helped.

hey, its your life. you can't let anyone force you to do something that you don't want to do. mabe if you told them in a way that made it seem that it benifited you more than them then mabe they will let you not run.
