my favourite sport

August 7, 2008 4:40am CST
parkour is very popular at present.I like it and would like to study it. but my parents dont like it.they say that "you are a girl, you can't do dangerous things."they think a girl should be graceful.do you think so?How can i persuade my parents?

Well, you can be one of those graceful traceuses or a female practitioner of parkour.

i don't like to be a graceful girl. in my opinion,as the increasing social competition,graceful girl will be bullied,and then they will become extinct from the world

Why not be graceful on the outside but, very formidable in the inside?

beacause the social comoetition is quite fiercely.even though i have a formidable boyfriend, he couldn't protect me well.at present,being independence and formidable is the best way to protect myself.maybe a man like a graceful woman.but we can't live well only depending on other's protectiom,unless we never face the social problems

guess i never know you love sports and even dangerous ones. you can have a try as you like but make sure that you are safe. and only if you can promise that, you parents will allow you to engage in it.

actually,it's not a very dangerous sport.everyone who plays parkour thinks that if getting wounded because of it,that is a shame.every actions should be practiced in thousands.

parkour! that's great. it keep you strong, alert as well as healthy. well, you can tell your parents that the parkour is strengthening; it's enable you to protect yourself. i guess your parent will understand and allow you to practice it. anyway, if you are my daughter, i won't let you learn it either

I think your mother quiet right. Because every parent wants there son or daughter as weel as they like. Another reason is your favourite sport is almost not match for a girl. But if you like, you can go ahead and try explain to them. You can say to them to give you a chance, and you will stop when you get married.

i think i can relate with you. i play soccer in my school and when i started, i had all sorts of remarks from my parents. soccer is a guy's sport, blah blah... but i say if you really want it, just keep telling them about it. make them see what you like. make them see you . and they'll learn to accept it, eventually. =)
