I don't know how to play volleyball and I HAVE NEVER FRIGGIN PLAYED!!! I even told her id play something else besides that but she just wont listen! I want to play soccer! What am I supposed to do?!

Answer 1

Take a deep breath. ok analyze this. ur mom is doing it for ur own good. dont give her a hard time about it, just chill out. she will probably mention to the coach that you have never played before and they might just put u in a  beginner class where everyone starts out. who knows? maybe u'll enjoy it?! just give it a chance and try to like it. dont act like u dont want to come or u wont make any friends and stay friendly and positive.

Answer 2

Wow it seems your between a rock and a hard place. But I agree with Lola bunny you have never played so you can at least try it out. If u still has problems talk to your coach asking to be taken off th team. tell him the postiotin your in OR if you are really 100% hate volleyball then just suck at tryouts when passing hit it across the court don't speak AT all be lazy these are the things coaches DO NOT WANT TO SEE

Answer 3

just give it a try and who knows  you may like it and if you dont' you ll just have to convince your parents to let you do what you want its not their choice

Answer 4

r u crazy?!? vball rocks!

Answer 5

You need to sit down and tell her that it's not going to do either of you any good to force you play a sport that you don't want to play.  Is your Dad involved?  If not, get him involved too.

You're already active with bowling and want to play something else instead of sitting home playing video games, which is a nice plus.  You should talk to her and find out why your mother is trying to force you to play a sport you don't want to play.

Answer 6

Nothing worse than being forced into a sport.  I would try the coach, explain the sitution.  Sometimes you can't start the sport unless you sign also--my marching band was like that in highschool.  School counselor may be able to mediate between your mother and yourself.  You can just sit out on the side line in protest if your mother is really beligerent.

Your mom may be signing you up due to health concerns--bowling isn't as taxing physically as volley ball.  You will only find out by asking why she is doing this (in a calm, and as adult tone as you can manage).  You can bargain with her if health is the case--offer to take a sport you do like at school, or to do something outside of school association but still healthy.

If your mom is trying to live through you for the sake of "I didn't get to do it and that means you will"...well...depends on how old you are and how much you want to dig your heels into the proverbial turf.  Middle school years you don't control as much as you should--still try the school guidance counselor route.  Once you hit high school though you should and need to start making some decisions for yourself--this being one of them.

The kids who's parents bullied them into marching band were some of the most miserable kids I knew.  Stand up, even if it's scarey, and unsecure, and a risk.  Being an adult is all about being your own best self advocate--ain't no one else going to do it for you.

Answer 7

well......if you 've never played what makes you think you won't like it? once you learn how to play volleyball you'll love it!!!!! And if you really, really hate volleyball, invite your mom to one of your games and let her see that you suck and she'll probably take you out immediately saving the both of you the embarrassment.
