Strict Parents?
Haha so I'm currently 14, and I grew up with a very sports oriented family. It was only on my step-dads side of the family but That's who I grew up around the most so it sorta passed onto me. My step-dad wanted his children to love sports and become professionals because it was a dream he had that he couldn't accomplish. But since I for one am into stuff that's far from sports I never enjoyed them. To make sure I played sports he threatened to take away both my phone and anything I relatively did, and so I didn't speak up about not wanting to play until last year. He took it relatively bad and took away my stuff as he said but eventually he gave it back (fucking 4 months later) And now if i don't find something that's active to do, I'll once again have to play softball.
So as a parent, I am absolutely disgusted with this. I have never understood that need to force the interests of the parents onto the kids.
You need to get your parents all together and say how you really feel about it. Ask them what they think forcing you to do an activity you have no interest in is going to accomplish. You are old enough to kn...... reply
Tell this to you step dad:
You couldn't accomplished your dream, which you regret. I want to follow my own dreams so that I don't have regrets like you.
If he doesn't understand...
Show him what you are best at. Convince him with your skills.
Also had he seen you play? If he did he should see that you don't really put your heart into it. 1 reply
