my mom is really annoying, about stupid stuff. like i don't like football games, i used to but now were not allowed to walk around, and you just stand there in the crowd, and you can't talk, because its too loud, and i don't like football, so its just not enjoyable. well my mom is like why don't you want to go, why aren't you going, you'll regret it. grrrrrrrrrrr. & like homecoming, i don't like dances, i never have.
how can i explain this to her, so it will sink in?
I don't think your mom is trying to annoy you. She just wants you to have fun & make the most out of your high school experience. You said you're 17 so you're more than likely a senior. This is your last chance to participate & have fun. Trust me, once you're out of high school, part of you does begin to miss it. If you don't take the chances you have now, you'll regret it.
Even if you don't like football, go to a game just to be with your friends, or to see that one guy you like. Go to homecoming. If your school is formal when it comes to homecoming, there's nothing wrong with having a day to look like a princess. It's the same deal with prom. I missed prom at my high school, and I'll regret it for the rest of my life. I'll never have another chance to go to prom.
Just realize your mother isn't trying to annoy you about it. She just wants you happy & make the most out of the time you have left. :) Just go to one game & make her happy. After that one game, you don't have to go to anymore. Besides, you might find that you enjoy yourself. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

Explain to her that you don't enjoy these activities and that you'd rather be doing something else with your time. But you should tell her exactly how you feel about it and don't be afraid. She is your mom I mean she should listen to your feelings. [ shelbz7077's advice column | Ask shelbz7077 A Question ]
