How to tell my parents that I want to quit dance class?

Question

hi, im 15 years old.

dancing is not at all my passion and i really want to quit.

i go to a cultural dance program and it is just a pain. dance class is for a whole 7 hours which i think is crazy.

i tried asking my parents that i wanted to quit, my mom said yes. But my dad, got all pissed and didnt want me too, which made me cry. Yet, they still dont understand that dancing is not something i enjoy, its like something that i HAVE to do.

Also, im trying to balance out school and dance which is not easy because even though i maintain my grades of getting and A and B, they still dont understand how much i want to quit.

I really want to quit, you have no idea.

anyone please help?!?!

thank you

Answer 1

Like the person before me said, you should have a sit down and talk upfront with your parents. Let them know exactly what you said here : 1. it's interfering with your school work. 2. its not your passion. So mention that it's a waste of their money when its something you don't want to pursue or even participate in. Offer some kind of compromise like another hobby to replace dance or chores instead of dance.

If they don't take your mature approach, milk out some excuses. Be too sick. Say a big project is assigned to you that you need to finish so you can't go to dance. That's weird though, sorry you don't enjoy dance classes :(

Answer 2

You need  to talk to your parents and say that dancing isnt something you really want to do anymore and that it is also stopping you from acheiving higher grades. You need to say that it is taking over your life nad that 7 hours is too long,

I Hope this helps you i had to do it when i wanted to quit my dancing

Answer 3

I think you should sit down with your parents and have a VERY good, and long talk.

You should tell them how dancing might be their passion but its def. not yours, and you want to do something that YOU enjoy!

Also tell them that how its hard managing your school when you have to stay 7 HOURS at a dance class that you dont even have fun at!

Well I hope I helped! :D
