My parents want me to go to this fitness camp for volleyball; should I go?

[Omgitsnatalie09]

My parents and I last night got into a fight because they wanted me to go to a volleyball fitness camp.

I'm only 5'7 and 130 lbs

I told them that I didn't want to go.

So everything became a big commotion.

They were telling me that I don't take volleyball seriously, when I really do.

Help me...

And what do I do about my parents?

do you want to take volleyball seriously? I used to go to basketball camps because I took basketball seriously; it's all about doing what you like in the summer. If you're in high school and looking to go to college, maybe finding a job or somewhere to volunteer would help your resume down the road.

Woah, saw your comment and why do your parents want you to lose weight? I am a guy, 5'9, and weigh about 165 pounds and I am skinny. 2 inches and 35 pound difference :) Believe me when I say you're not fat; there's a difference between having abs and being fat. Anyways, if you don't like volleyball then don't go- it's really that simple and your parents shouldn't make you go.

I do take it seriously but I just don't want to spend my whole summer on volleyball all the time. my parents think I have chunky thighs which I dont. I know the average weight for a 5'7 girl its like 130-145 lbs. but its just like my parents want me to keep fit. they think that I would spend the whole day in the house texting. I go swimming everyday over the summer and I go to beaches

Your chunky thighs are probably mostly genetic, so blame your parents for that :) You can't reduce fat from one spot in your body at a time. Tell your parents what else you're planning to do and how you can stay fit in other ways besides going to a volleyball specific camp.

Why don't you go? It's fun. =] And I don't see why your height or weight has anything to do with it? I'm 5'7'' and I was awesome as a middle in volleyball. You might have fun, I'd go if my parents wanted me to =] Just let them know that you do take volleyball seriously, but that you don't want to go. =] Since they're your parents, I'm sure they'd understand...and get over it. lol

They want me to loose weight too at the same time. And that's a great volleyball position I play all of them. I do want to go and I don't. It's a 15 day thing and I don't want to leave my boyfriend hanging around

[LEWnB]

15 days isn't so bad. =] I'm sure your boyfriend will understand lol. Why would they want you to lose weight? At our height, you're underweight as it is. At least that's what doctors tell me (I'm 125) Girls our height, according to the doctors, should weigh from 135-145lbs. Tell them to shove it, lol.

[tigerguy]
