But I dunno how I would do that.Ugh Please help my mom isn't listening and I already avoided a few practices by faking sick. Please help

Answer 1

Is there another sport that you'd like to play?Not everybody will want to play the same sport-that's why there's so many:D

     Just talk to your mom about it.Why does she want you to play so bad?Maybe she's trying to relive her highschool years in sports thru you.Whatever you do, don't fake an injury or sickness-it won't help matters especially because you'll get found out sooner or later.

Answer 2

Ouch..that hurts.... Ahh, not the fake injury, but not telling the truth.

I know where you are coming from though!  I have been a volleyball coach for many years and can spot a fake injury a mile away, and there usually is an underlying answer as to why.  One of the biggest is the fact that the player doesn't have the interest in the game.

I also see, (a little bit)  where your Mom is coming from,but again, only a little.  I think you're going to save alot of wasted energy by sticking to the truth, despite your mom's forceful intentions.  Not telling the truth to the coach and to yourself will take you down that road to build other excuses in similar situations, whether it be with school work, part time jobs or what have you.

I'd recommend you speaking with your coach privately about your situation.   Let him/her know about how you feel about playing and what your mom's opinions are.  Your coach is going to appreciate you that much more for telling the truth and being honest.  He/She might have some other options for you that might satisfy your extra-curricular activities and also find some consolation for what your Mom wants.

The truth will set you free!

Hang in there kid!

Best of luck!

Tell her you've pulled your trapezoid muscle (it's the one over your shoulder blade). I pulled mine in high school (doing who know's what) and it hurt like buggery everytime I lifted my arm above my head. If it's a school thing, tell your mum you went to the school nurse and she said that the only thing for it is rest (don't overstretch the muscle or do too much heavy lifting) that should get you out of vollyball this week...dunno what you'll do next week?

Answer 4

back pain... cant see it and easy to fake... make sure u keep a good pain face on all the time.. .not just when its time to go to practice.. groans and moans are good... dont run or play too much cuz then they will kno ir faking... good luck.. hope it works for u  ^__^

Answer 5

Why dont you want to play it's a fun sport!

Answer 6

suck it up and play. don't hurt yourself to get out of it- that's just sickminded. quitting is just an easy excuse out of something. are you friends with anyone on the team? if not, try to be...it might make it more fun.

Answer 7

Why do you not like it?  I'm thinking maybe your mom is trying to get you to get involved in something to make this school easier for you.

Have you thought about maybe looking into the Tennis team or something along that line so that you can get away from Volleyball and go to another sport that you may like better and maybe your mom would be willing to compromise.  Give it a try.

Parents don't want to make your life miserable, they just want you to experience everything you can and do the best you can...sounds like mom knows you are not living up to your potential and that is why this is happening.  She is doing the right thing by making you finish something you start...you can't be called a quitter that way...

Hope this helps you see your mothers side a little better.  Try my suggestion, bet you get out of volleyball and into something you like better, maybe even gymnastics....good luck gal, you are going to succeed because you have great morals and a conscience.

Answer 8

well if you really want to get out of volleyball that bad.....a lot of people on my team, including me, dont play for at least a week or two after they sprain their ankle......if you want it to look real then after jumping up for a block or spiking you land funny and then they check your ankle...after that you are free for a while, but any other injuries would be too serious to fake....but faking sick can be used for any day...your mom forcing you isnt the right way...right now its your time to figure out what you wanna do now and later in life, and using the experiences of the now and applying them later......you can also try sprianigin your wrist by tripping onto it, but make sure it looks real like you bumped into a bunch of people and you all fell....or something like that bc the wrist is also really imoprtant in volleyball

Answer 9

Trip and fall at the beginning of the nest game and complain of BACK pain. Parents won't want you to mess your back up. Don't say leg or arm pain because that can heal over time.

Answer 10

Why is your mum forcing you to play volleyball?  I think its important for people to stay active, but they should be able to choose how they do it.

Is there another sport you would be willing to play?  How about netball, or basketball or tennis?  Or if you dont like team sports how about taking up swimming or running?  Maybe if you give your mum an alternative she will let you do something else instead.

If your mum wont listen have a talk to the school counsellor or a teacher - maybe one of them can talk to your mum for you.

OH and definitely DONT fake injuries, it may get you out of 1 or 2 sessions, but then youll get a reputation as a faker, and then mum might use it against you, by not letting you go out to do things you actually want to do.

Answer 11

Hey why not have a sit down and say,

Hey Mom, Not interested in playing Volleyball.  Rather play another sport its just not my thing and the more you push the more I dont want to Play So...  stop playing.  Fakeing it is only going to turn you into a liar and shes gonna push harder and going to create a rift
