Should i get into sports this year at school?

Question

i really hate sports, but i am physically fit because i use my bike to get around. i am really into art: painting sculpting photography creating, you name it. but my dad is always pressuring me into getting involved in a school sport because he thinks it will be good for me. i really don't want to because 1) i don't really enjoy the female sports competition 2) it will take away from my art 3) it will most likely eat up my time. do you think my dad is right? what should i do? thanks!

Answer 1

don't do stuff that you don't want to do. simple as that.

Answer 2

Anything you want is right for you, continue your art, but if sports won't affect your art, then why not try sports? It'll get you more active, I mean it won't hurt to try right? You might even like it!

Answer 3

Wow your situation sounds a lot like the movies from Disney Channel where their father would make them play sports but they would have the passion for something else like cooking or painting. Well every single one of those movies end up with the kid doing what they really wanted to do. It's your passion, you should do what you like and not forced to do something against your will.  

Answer 4

ur dads right

Answer 5

You don't have to do anything that you don't want to do. You have good reasons for not wanting to get involved in sports, so you should tell your dad these reasons the next time he pressures you. If you were unfit and not involved in any extracurricular activities, playing a sport would be good for you, but you don't need the exercise and you already do something productive with your time. Don't join a sports team, and get involved in an arts club or event at your school instead. You will be a lot happier if you're doing something you love, and that's really what matters, right? Have fun.

Answer 6

Just take the classes that you want to. You are not there to please your father by being in a sports program. That is not the way school works.
