Well, I mean, my parents don't really care that I do it or not except that they are worried I'm gonna get hurt.

I'm mostly A's and if mine went down because I breakdance too much, they'd kill me.

If you're at school, you shouldn't be spending your whole time dancing.
Do all you can to get the best grades you are capable of getting.
Then when you've done your work you dance.

If your folks are hassling you about wasting time, it's probably because they know you could be getting better than average grades (or at least better than you are) - and all the time you spend dancing is keeping you from achieving like you should.

You don't have to stop dancing - I work between 10 and 18 hours a day, 6 days a week and still find time to dance.
School college and university are a walk in the park compared to that kind of workload.

its not that i spend all my time dancin, its juss they think that, cuhz my dad works weekdays from like 3pm - 12am, so i dont really see him since im at school, and weekends if i got no h/w i chill with mai homies and session, my pops juss thinks i spend all my time dancin, cuhz the times he sees me im dancin alot. but its not really that i spend all my time dancin, he juss alwais seems to walk in on me dancin

STIFF_UK · 07-23-2005, 01:19 PM

So sit him down and explain to him.
Show him your finished homework.
If he knows and can see that you've done your work he should lay off.
Also don't do the minimum. Go the extra mile on your work, improve your grades while at the same time dancing. No parent should have a problem with you dancing if your studies show improvement too.

Yeah, I have too much freetime this summer, that is pretty much all I've been doing. Working on Flares and Freezes and shit, so then when school starts up, I won't have to practice all the time.

My parents think Nothing of it "I can pop its pretty kool" thats it they Know I pop and they dont think nothing of it lol My sis teases me every Once and a While

FlYgUy64 · 07-23-2005, 05:34 PM

all my parents say is dont get hurt

about the grades thing, if i get lower than an a- i'm screwed...

bboyCliche · 05:49 PM

haha I'm India so my parents are like, no A's then go live on the street. haha

But its all about effort, I break and I still got a high honor roll this semester.

Tricks1988 · 07-23-2005, 06:00 PM

Yeah my parents are the same way. I spend all of my time outside of school dancin'. It's really hard to get good grades and it even takes effort to get decent ones. During the school year I have a hip-hop classes that I teach from 7 to 9:00 and the time before that I spend on my bboying and just getting a bite to eat cause that only leaves me with like 3 hours to practice and eat then a half hour to get around. I also spend about a half hour of my lunch to break so my parents are constantly givin' me shit. But this next school year is my senior year they are seein' that I'm goin places with it so they don't know what to think about it.

i_efx you lucky bastard, wish I could do stuff like that.
