My father is a football coach.I guess you could say I'm "the runt of the litter": I'm smaller, weaker, and I've never been doing well health-wise (I look emaciated), and it feels like I'm being left out of everything. My brother has a scholarship to play sports in college and my sister is a super bright cheer leader (my mother's dream). They love going to football games. Me? My doctor recommends I don't stay out in the sun for a long time and football is boring (although, I do go sometimes). But why can't they do anything I want to do? There's always a game they need to go to. Not only this, but it's like my mother is forcing cheer leading on me. My mother is cool and I know she loves me, but why can't she listen to my dreams for once?What is the best way to talk to her about this? Tips? Reply to this Question

I would sit your mum down and tell her about the things you like.

When you talk to your parents about something, sometimes they are so busy thinking about other things that they don't concentrate on what you are saying. You may also not say everything you need to say or they can cut you off mid-sentence telling you to stop being silly. So this is my advice: write them a letter. Word it carefully putting in everything you need to say. Reread it a few times and make changes where you need to. Then leave it on their pillow or somewhere they can easily find it, and leave the house so that they don't immediately call you to talk before they have read it carefully. I once did this with my very scary parents who used to cut me off when I tried to speak to them and it worked!
