My mom hates skateboarding?

Question

So my mom told me that she hates the fact that I skate, and that skaters could be doing something better like play soccer or something. Dont get me wrong.. I like soccer, but skating is better. She told me what would happen if " you do a trick and land upside down on the wheels , what would happen then ". So yeah.. I told her that I like to skate and would she rather have me skating than doing drugs, etc. I dont know what to do. Help.

Answer 1

She is probably just concerned that you'll get hurt.  Do you have safety equipment? If not, maybe you can have her buy you some so that she will know you are protected.

Answer 2

Firstly, wear a helmet and maybe pads when skating around her, also show her that you are good and that she shouldn't be worried about you skateboarding, my little brother skates and he's five, so show her young childrn skating at your local skatepark or something, convince her that it is not dangerous if done properly.

Answer 3

IF YOU DO DRUGS DONT I RUINS YOUR LIFE AND KILLS U ALSO TAKEUP SKATEBOARDING WHO CARES WHAT YOUR MOM THINKS ABOUT SKATEBOARDING

Answer 4

Show her that skating isn't just a hobby for you, that it can be a serious sport. Always wear safety gear so she doesn't worry. Talk to her about skaters who make a professional living doing it. Tell about about the major sponsors that fund skaters on the pro circuit. Also, make sure you take care of other responsibilities before you skate. That way, she won't be able to say much about your skating. You might want to show her some cool skating videos as well (though not ones where anyone gets hurt! Check out the source link.) Good luck and follow your passion.
