My parents are making me take piano and I dont want to how to I tell them that?

Hey! :) Thank you for choosing 7 Cups to be your place of calm and help. It's such an amazing community and I encourage all to be a part of it. Parents often just want the best for their children and to do that they can come off as forceful and overbearing, especially when extracurricular activities come into play. They probably just want you to obtain more skills and become indulged in the arts, but I completely understand if this is out of your personal wants and comfort zone. I am very glad you asked how to tell them you don't want to take piano, that shows me you're willing to communicate! Communication is key in any kind of relationship, it's never you vs. them it's always you and them vs. the issue at hand. And the issue here is the piano lessons, how are we going to deal with this block in a way that can satisfy all? Perhaps there is another instrument you are into, could you suggest that? Or maybe you are not into band one bit. Could you offer another art-related extracurricular that interests you? It may be hard to think of ways to compliment both sides of this scenario on your own, so I highly recommend you include them throughout the thought process. Peaceful wishes xx

This is a really difficult issue for you. Communication can be very hard when your parents want one thing for you and you want something different. Sometimes just telling another person, especially a parent, something that you know they don't want to hear, and that they might have a reaction to, might trigger some kind of reaction that you already know you don't want because you know those people, your parents, so well. However, they also don't know who you are when you keep this information from them, so they also won't get to know you better as a person.
