Answer 1

amputate your leg then you cant play

Answer 2

you: Hey mom I don't want to play football for the school this year

mom: why?

You: cause I just don't enjoy it:

mom: ok. its your choice.

Answer 3

show her videos on youtube

of what football practice is like

Answer 4

Don't go to the practices, forget the schedule, find a new extra curricular activity to replace the football one and if they coincide it will be perfect. Your much too old to have Mom decide what you like and dislike.. be firm and if nothing else ask your coach to talk to your Mom and your school counselor.. sometimes it takes another adult to reach the parental unit.  

Answer 5

That's too bad that you feel forced to play a sport you don't like.  If your mom is concerned that you will turn into a coach potato tell her you would like to participate in another sport.  

Answer 6

Put it in writing, perhaps if she sees it on paper, how you really feel about football, she'll allow you to quit.  Is there something else, that you wish to do in it's place, tell her about that.  She wants you to have activities outside of the classroom.

Answer 7

Ask here why she feels like it's so important for you to play. Then address her reasons. Try to understand her reasoning and suggest alternative that you would rather be do. For instance if she think you need to get the physical activity, suggest another sport that you would rather do, or if she thinks the social side it important etc. Tell her what productive things you'd rather be doing. Good luck!

Answer 8

write a note.

dear mother,

**** you.  if you ever want to see your husband again, then you will succumb to my demands! first off, i want ice cream every morning for breakfast. second, my respective title will be awesome sir. and you will clean up my droppings with toothbrush. you will wipe my *** on command with only the finest slik ***-wiping material. when i say jump, you will respond "how high?". oh ya, and i dont wanna play football this year....

Answer 9

sit down and talk to her and tell her that you don't want to play football anymore say its not fun for you and then don't do it. If she tries to take you to practice don't go. After school go home instead of going to practice, eventually she will get it

Answer 10

What about playing another sport?

Answer 11

get kicked out of the team

Answer 12

Kiss your coach.  Problem solved.

Answer 13

" Hey Mother. s***w your football, and s***w you. "

Answer 14

Tell her someone on the team asked if you like to be tied up and spanked for your sins. Ask her if it's normal for the locker room showers to have video cameras in each stall.

On the other hand, you could grit your teeth and play through it. It will toughen you up, and the lettermen's jacket will help you get girls in high school. If you really hate football, come up with another sport that you'd rather play instead.Present her with an alternative, instead of just quitting.

Answer 15

Uhmmm....say this: it really gets them.

"You are pushing me in the wrong direction and forcing me to do something I don't want to do."

HAHAH I tried it once and it worked, now my mom lets me dance all week, which is all I want to do (besides the Latin that she INSISTS I take, but it's not too bad).

Be like, "mom football might be what other kids like to do, but not me. I'm so sick of it and I hate it. It takes too much time and I really want to do something else. It's not fair of you, as a mother, to force me to do something I dont want to do. And it's just a sport. Nothing is going to happen if i quit, except maybe my grades IMPROVING. If you dont let me quit i just wont go to practice at all"

Answer 16

just tell her the truth... that you hate it! i'm sure if your just truthful with her she'll understand.

good luck!

Answer 17

Just be honest, and tell your mom that you do not like playing football.  She just might surprise you.  She might support you in quitting.  

Answer 18

Try to find somone who could be on your side to get the point across like a school counselor. That or you can just tell your coach you don't want to play & if he puts you out on the feild your not going to do anything. The coach won't want to put you on the feild & your mom will get sick of seeing you on the bench so she'll have to give in. Good luck

Answer 19

Find a time when she's not busy or stressed out, sit down and talk about it. Tell her that you would rather spend your free time doing something you really enjoyed. Tell her you want the opportunity to work on homework, hang out with your friends, play other sports or do other activities instead of football. Maybe you could make a compromise to do another school activity or sport during the time you spent playing football. Maybe you could go out for track or soccer or the school musical instead of playing football. Let her know that you would be a lot more happier if you didn't have to play football.

Top Rules for getting what you want:

1) Do not yell.

2) Do not whine.

3) Stay calm and don't act hostile.

Answer 20

just don't go to practice man

Answer 21

do something on purpose to get cut from the team.

then blame your coach for letting you go.

Answer 22

"Mom, I'm not playing." The end.

If you hate it that much, you gotta take a stand.

Answer 23

just tell her u dont want to play and give her a good reason why u dont want to play football

hope i helped

Answer 24

Here is the best way to tell your mom your quitting. "Think of football as boxing it injures your head and increases the chance of Alzheimers, it will also affect me in the long term if i get injured" good luck:]

Answer 25

fake an injury

Answer 26

just dont go. just say, "MOM I HATE FOOTBALL!"

Answer 27

  Tell her again you hate it and you are not gonna play. If she persists then just don't play no matter what she says. She can't force you to walk on the field. You should also pick up another sport or hobby you are interested in to take its place. Then you are still being active and you may find something you really like and you will stick with long term. Now is the time to be trying out different activities. Your mom probably just wants you to learn the lesson of sticking with stuff, but football is obviously the wrong thing for you; she may also think you are going to grow into it, which isn't the case if you hate it. Find other more fun stuff to keep you busy!

Answer 28

This one is easy cheesy!  Find something you really DO want to do and tell her that you are going to apply yourself to it.  She's not going to let you quit football in order to just sit around and rot on the couch.

So do some brainstorming.  There must be something new that is worthy of your time, you just need to find it.  But get cookin'  'cause football practice is looming on the horizon.

Good luck!!

Answer 29

fake an injury or break your arm although it would be stupid. you could also do really bad at tryouts so you don't make the team. i guess you'll just have to suck it up and play if all else fails

Answer 30

just tell the truth because nothings better than the truth

Answer 31

First of all you should ask your mother why she wants you to play so badly, there could be a million reasons why and explain to her if its being involved in sports she wants, then you can find a sport that you enjoy.Growing up i also went through the same thing as you with football and my mother. Its best to just be honest and straight to the point. Let her know how your truly feel. if that doesn't work it might be best to talk to your coach if you feel comfortable with him. there always there to help. just explain the situation to him or write a letter what ever you feel more comfortable letting him know that you its just not what you really want to do but you feel as if your mother is pressuring you into playing. after all its your choice no one else's.
