Hello, I'm a 14-year-old girl from a small town. I want to convince my parents to let me go to boxing practice. I don't want anything from them, not even money. I will pay with the money from my scholarship. In general, I always wanted to try to go to training at least once, but my mother is adamant that this sport is not for girls. She herself knows that I need to play sports, but she never gives it to me. I won't even go alone. I have an acquaintance with whom, if they give me, I will go. Thanks in advance ;)

He made a presentation and presented it to his parents. Let it initially contain what are the people who do not play sports and do not like to play sports; presented photos of overweight girls and subsequent diseases of a sedentary lifestyle. Show that girls who do not exercise are often drug addicts or alcoholics. Attach many photos. In the second part he mentioned how dangerous it is for a beautiful girl on the streets. Tell a story about how boys surrounded girls in a dead end and it became very dangerous. Also show photos of women and girls abused by their future families, friends and more. If they don't agree afterwards, tell them that you want to grow up to be an independent and upright woman who can protect herself from arrogance. Tell them that if you start smoking, drinking or shaking, it will be their fault. Express an opinion
Do they ask the school for permission from the parents?
Your mother does not give, and your father? Rather, you may be worried about martial arts and not being physically injured. But don't give up, say you don't intend to become a profession, you just need to expend energy and this is the way you like it (and this is extremely true by the way, when you are angry, nervous, instead of suppressing it in yourself yourself or picking on people, you go, pour your emotions on the bag and leave). There are no men's / women's sports. At least I can't think of a sport that is either only for men or only for women - boxing, wrestling, barbells, football, ballet, dancing, horseback riding, fencing, there are even men who train hood. gymnastics!
Boxing is an aggressive sport and that is why you are banned. The best argument I would hear on the subject is that girls should be able to defend themselves physically. But even in this case, I would choose martial arts or another sport in which, in addition to imposing, there are many tricks. You can sit down and talk to your parents in more detail, argue and ask them to at least give it a try. You don't have to go to competitions.
Thank you very much for the advice. Today I talked to my parents again and they didn't even want to listen to me at first, when they understood what it was about, but after I pointed out some of the things you said and after a little quarrel, they accepted that I wanted to practice this sport. .
