Hi @Kassy.bi girl, I'm Aurora, one of the support mentors here at Ditch the Label. That sounds frustrating. Do you mind telling me a little more about this? What class is it that you would like to do and is there no bathroom there you can use if you did have to go? From what you're saying it sounds like you've spoken to your Mum about this. What did she say? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassy.bi girl Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 So I want to do NJROTC which is the army class and she says that she won't let me do it because I supposedly can't run. But if I don't push myself I won't ever do anything in life. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you mentioned that to your Mum and does she know your reasons for wanting to do the class? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they could support you and the two of you can speak to your Mum together. Do you think that might work? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you think of a time before, where you managed to have a good discussion with your Mum and you felt like she was listening to you? What do you think worked that time?

I'm sorry to hear that. Going back to that class you want to do. Is it too late to join now, or can you join any time? I'm just wondering if you could speak to your Mum about when she thinks you're ready to join? Eg if you practice your running, would she let you join then?

Kassy.bi girl Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 She only changed her mind because my sister talked to her about the opportunities that class will give me. I feel like if I ask her something she won't let me do it but if someone else talks to her she would let me do it. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think your Mum is aware that she is doing this and has your sister noticed it, too? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
