My mum doesn't seem very supportive..?

Question

I've never danced in my life and I said my two friends wanted me to learn how to breakdance because I'm quite strong (althoguh not strong enough yet). She laughed and said we come with really stupid ideas.

Should I just work up my strength, get quite good and then show her how if you set your mind to it you can do anything?

Answer 1

don't do something to show your mother your' a good kidd. Do the things you like, because you like them to do.

dancing is fun, always try something new and funny.

mums that laugh and say your ideas are stupid do not act very nice.

Answer 2

Find out where break dance is being taught, when the classes are and how much it costs.  Take this information to your mum and tell her you're serious about learning and ask for her support.  She probably didn't realise you were serious the first time you mentioned it.  You might point out that doing a structured activity like this might help keep you away from the more negative activities you could be getting up to.

I wouldn't advise trying to learn 'on the street' - your head and neck would be quite vulnerable in such uncontrolled conditions.

Answer 3

When you join breaking they dont expect you to be very strong i mean thats what you do build strength

Answer 4

hey i think when you said that your mum might have thought that you had said it as a joke seing that you have never danced in your life but i think if you showed her that you were serious by maybe enrolling in a class then she might actually see how serious you are and will be right beside you. dance is something fun and should be done because you want to not to prove a point! i hope that is what you want! happy dancing! =)

Answer 5

My mums never really supported anything ive done, but ive suceeded time and time again, so go for it, if its what you want to do.
