My family is driving me nuts! I just turned 16 so I can't drive, I've 2 really annoying younger brothers, and my parents won't let me take martial arts lessons because they think I'll turn into a bully! What can I do to fix my family and convince my parents I want to learn martial arts to become more then what I am?

They obviously don't know that martial arts instructors emphasize that what you are learning is only for DEFENSE, not starting fights. It also helps you become more self disciplined. My younger brother is a martial artist. I really believe he could kill someone with his bare hands, but he KNOWS that he is ONLY to use it in class or if someone is really trying to hurt him. It does NOT make you a bully.

Have them come down to a martial arts class with you so they can see what it is you do and have them speak to your master about what martial arts is really all about.

w/ your younger brothers, just ignore them or teach them something your good at!
tell your parents that compared to all the people at your school that you feel small and weak and you just wanta protect yourself.

tell your parents that it is for self defense in case you run into a bully.

Youth, its wasted on the young.
