problems....how do i make them understand?, *sigh* Options

[chinke3xcuti3]

Okay.I really really want to take dance class (break dance class)!!

Ever since seeing this performance at my church when I was 7, I've always wanted to learn how to break dance. So, I asked my daddy.

He said, "NO!" It's those typical kind of asian parents. *sigh*

I really want to, I'd even pay for the classes all by myself.............

I'm 12 turning 13, and my parents think I'm too old to take on any kind of class. I've never gotten to take any after school stuff, or any sports.

I'm a good kid (hehehe)...................All I'm asking my parents is if I can take breakdance class, because it's my dream to become a professional dancer. They just won't seem to support me...like...they think "break dance" is bad or whatever.

I just don't get asian parents..ugh..

Okay..

My parents and me aren't very close...we are wayyy wayyy far from being close.

So..I'm here...

How can I persuade my parents to let me take dance classes??? And, am I too old to take on any kind of sport? AND, if I do persuade them..how would I look for some sort of dance class (I've never joined these kind of things..so I don't know how it works)

I'm a shy kind of person.....HELP?!?!
