Overprotective?
I have a volleyball tournament in Tucson, AZ and we will be staying a hotel with the team and all of the coaches and the parents will be right nextdoor but I would stay with the my teammates in a room and they don't want to let me. What do you think and how could I convince them to let me. I know my parents love me and don't want to let me get hurt, but c'mon, they will be right nextdoor, as well as coaches.

Should I take it as a personal rejection if my boomerang doesn't return when I throw it?
Presuming that you're in a room with other people of the same sex, I don't see any reason not to let you stay in the room next door. Certainly they'd be able to hear if anything was terribly amiss, and help wouldn't be far away. Perhaps if they don't know your potential roommates, it would be helpful to introduce them, and/or allow the coach to introduce them.Check to be sure that there isn't some other issue about which your parents are concerned. Could it be a money issue, perhaps? If you stay with your parents, they probably don't have to pay as much for you. Or is there some other concern that they have? Try to address their concerns, but whatever their decision is, respect it. Respect now will very likely mean greater privileges later. Finally - give your parents a break - we moms and dads worry for our kids, even when we know that they're going to be ok - it's just part of being a parent.
Whatever the outcome, good luck with your games!
tell them that you will check in with them right before you go to sleep and right when you wake up.you should also talk to them and tell them that it hurts your feelings that they dont trust you enough to stay in a room right next to theirs with some of your teammates..just try to talk it out with them!
I need help overhand serving. I just can't get it over the net. Any advice??
Just let them know how much you care about them and hint on other times that you've been a good, letting them know that its alright that you can stay in a room with a bunch of friends, and that your all grown up and you don't need a bed time story. Not to be mean or anything but just to let them know. I mean come on it is your parents, they should understand. Good luck with your volleyball too!!More Questions & Answers...
