Question

my mom signed me up for a tennis class and i HATE tennis! I'd rather have to marry a goat then do this two hour a day class for five days. My parents dont care AT ALL that i dont want to take it. what would you do? help please!!!!!

Answer 1

If your trying to learn tennis and you dont like it, you would be surprised at how fun the game can be. Dont listen to the kids at school who say tennis is a girl game, it is quite fun.

If you already play tennis, but dont play often, this clinic is a chance to improve your skills and like the game more. What do you have to loose?

If you dont want to go because you dont know anyone there, im in the same situation. As i progressed through my new tennis clinic, i made new friends and acquantences that helped me improve. BTW im 13, youngest in my clinic too.

Kissing a goat is quite repulsive :s

Answer 2

maybe your parents' attitude has a reason? maybe you're too shy to join any activity or sport , maybe you refused any other activity so they had to force you to try? there's nothing wrong in disliking tennis and any reasonable parent wouldn't push his child to an activity he really hates unless they see that he hates everything and won't get out of his room!! if this is the case try to suggest any other activity that you like if you really really hate tennis and you're not just too shy to mingle, I'm sure they will understand and they'll be happy to see you out there making friends and enjoying yourself...choose another activity don't just choose to stay home maybe this is your problem... if you hate tennis just bec. you're too shy give it a chance it's not that bad!! did you choose another sport and they still insist on tennis? maybe they're dreaming of you getting pro or something? talk to them and try to convince them that you do hate the sport... have your grandparents talk to them!!

Answer 3

If you learn to play tennis, it's a great way to spend time with a girl, or a great way to hang out with a friend and two girls.  Then you won't have to marry a goat, because it might sound good now, but when you get older, you'll want to marry a girl.  Give tennis a chance.

Answer 4

you should tell your parents that they're wasting money on a pointless sport that you dont enjoy and absolutely hate...be persistent and if they still ignore you then just don't go to the practices...also tell them what sport you want to do....personally id love to exchange places with you because i suck at tennis and want to imporve...hehe

Answer 5

Well, it just happens that I LOVE tennis, and yesterday was my first day and I fell in love with it, but if you are shy (I used to be) loosen up a little, have fun, be a clown, do whatever it takes to not get stuck with the teacher. Just try to make it as fun as possible, and tell your parents that they are wasting money on something useless. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!! ;)

P.S. Charcoel Pet, you are so FUNNY.

Answer 6

try to tell to your parents,that  they are wasting their money to an event that you don't enjoy, you must join an event where you will be happy...

Answer 7

I think that Lisa hit the nail on the head here.  If they are trying to get you to exercise, suggest some other activity (like a long walk).

Answer 8

Well....the ironic thing about this situation is that I LOVE tennis and I'm taking a class for one month. I use to hate it too but just trying something new is fun. If you really HATE tennis just slack off. Try and make at least one new friend while you're there so you wont feel like it was all for nothing.
