ok,so heres the story: Last year, i signed up to do band, and my mom got me an all new clarinet, that we have been paying for since then. i liked band and all last year, so i was like ok kool, i guess i'll stick with it. Well this year, its a whole other story. we have grades, the teacher is way meaner/biitchier, and I'm just not into it anymore. So at the beginning of the year i asked my mom if i could quit, and she freaked out and was like "NO!!! I'm paying for this instrument every month, and now you just want to quit???" and i have a feeling she wants me to be like her, and be in the marching band, which i REFUSE to do b/c it just doesnt sound like any fun. i want to try out for the dance team this year, and if i do marching band (blah), that will lessen my chances of getting on the dance team, which i have wanted to do longer than i have ever even thought about being in band. I love dancing, and getting on the dance team would make me sooo happy, but my mom is so negative and says stuff like, "Well, there is probably a small chance you'll get on" and all this other crap.so what can i do to explain to her that i absolutely HATE band and i want to be on the dance team?? i have explained to her about my whole dance team thing, and she just wont listen. any advice??

I guess i'm not helping buht this is worth a try. Igues its cus my mom is stricter. I take piano and dance now buht i used to take violin and clarinet as well. Three calses of dance. yes overwhelming buth whtaever peopel have worse. My mom just all of a sudden blew everything off. She even quit my enrichment program, my tennis class, my swimming lessons, my second language school, and some oether stuff. I guess she got sick of my stupid begging. Buht paretns go like this " YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH YOU HAVE ALL THESE OPPORTUNITIES! WE ENVER HAD THESE WHEN WE FIRSTCME TO AMERICA" . welps, i guess u can try bribing her that you'll do really good in school and then make a deal with ehr and stuff. I hate it when mom's say negative phrases. my mom always does that GOOD LUCK.
