For the past year, I have been riding and taking horseback riding lessons. I really like it since its one of the only things I actually like and stick to, not like dancing or soccer. In April, we bought a set of 8 lessons, the 8 lessons finished up yesterday so I asked my mom when where booking for my next set of lessons, shes now saying that she and my dad have decided that I shouldn't go anymore because they think its a waste of time. FINALLY, SOMETHING I REALLY ENJOY they take it away. Its not far, its 10 minutes away, I could walk there if I really wanted to. I volunteer there and help out with the barn and made many friends from there. My mom is just like
"we'll see, we'll talk about it". I always used to be so excited when I had lessons, I couldn't wait to go, and now its over. How do I deal with this, how can I talk to my parents to just let me do an activity that I like? Why do I have to sit home all day and not have any activity to do. There were so many benefits on this, I really loved it. I don't see how its a waste. I am 14, why do my parents have to make their decision for me enjoying something, its not a bad things, it keeps me out of trouble, im not playing on the computer or texting, im actually doing something productive and they think its a waste. Any ideas?
Its actually a pretty crappy place, very cheap, only about $230 for 8 lessons while this other place I went to was atleast 600.
 
Honestly, it probably has nothing to do with not wanting you to do something you enjoy. I am sure there are other reasons for them not letting you do this. Sometimes it's hard to talk to your parents about their finances or why they make the decisions they do, but don't fight them on it. They could get angry and convince themselves they have made the right decision.

You said you volunteer there... why not see if they can give you lessons in exchange of your volunteer work? Or maybe they can pay you to do the things you're doing, so that you can help pay for your lessons.

I hope this helps!
 
Some teenage girls get orgasms from riding horses, I bet your parents are afraid you will get an orgasm from riding a horse and it will make you want to have sex and get pregnant.
