+273 Trying out and not making the team is punishment enough. Having your parents punish you when they found out you were cut is just adding insult to injury, amirite?

Parents do that?

I'm not a kid. I'm 18 years old and I don't get another chance next year because i'm a senior.

my apologies, grown man. you could try and get on the coach's good side, maybe he'll appreciate the commitment your willing to make to the team?

No, the season is long over. And I'm not good enough to make the team.

Booo, sorry to hear that. Hope your dad can get over it, and both of y'all can find some positive in this negative situation.

It is. My dad was so mad. I think it's the maddest I've ever seen him.

I sincerely hope that you did not buy him a father's day gift, not after that. Don't worry here at the amirite community we do our best to make people feel better :) ....well most of us :/

(your friend aljalfje): Of course I got him a gift. He's still my dad, even when he's mad at me.

I would have bought him a gift as well, just not given it to him until he grew up

I wouldn't have, that's just a no no. It's ridiculous to get upset over something like that. Anyway I hope you're feeling better.

adding injury to insult? Oh, and I'm sorry by the way. That's harsh

No parent should do that, same with parents who make their kids play sports they don't want to.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Why should parents punish their kids for not making a team or make them play a sport? I think that's just mean and will make kids resent their parents.

Exactly

Oh we're on the same page, my bad I thought your comment said "No, parents should do that"

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Yeah haha, I'm completely against it. I can't stand it when parents try to live through their kids. It isn't their life.

That's horrible. That's like punishing you for not having any friends.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

what kind of parents would punish you for getting cut from a team?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

My dad gets really mad at that. I'm trying as hard as I can, but I'm just not as good as the other guys.
