Most parents are like that. They want you to focus on your education. Your dad i'snt trying to be a meeny hes just trying to aim you in the right path because withough your education you cant get a job well, you can but it would be a crappy one. Oh yeah you said something about school work heres the question Do you do all your school work? Or are you a slacker. If so that could be the reason why he wont let you play base ball. If its not the case prove to him your responsible such as doing some stuff around the house because mebe its a trust issue. Sincerely Meg Ps. Good luck.

I can understand. I am 39. I was one of the fastest girls even with a sprained ankle and I couldn't join track because my mother was afraid I would get hit by a car. I tried to explain to her that it only goes in a circle, but she said that we would practice along side the road with the cross country. We couldn't join anything. It is frustrating and I have always wondered what would have happened if I would have ran. I am sorry and I understand. I think now that since my knees aren't that great, that maybe if I did join track they would be really messed up now.
All you can do is tell your father how you feel and even though it may not change anything, it will help you get your feelings out. I have to still believe that things happen for a reason. Sit down with your Dad and tell him that some type of sport is important to you and if you get good grades and study hard, you would really like to participate in something that really means something to you. Tell him why B-ball is important to you. What is it about it that makes you want to play? Is it the teamwork? Is it the excitement? Maybe that will help. That way, both of your expectations will be put on the table and you can discuss them in detail. Best wishes to you.

I feel for ya. My dad did the same thing to me when I was in school and I've never let him forget it. He feels guilty about it when I bring it up now. (i've been out of school for almost 10 years now and I'm still bitter about it) Good Luck....I hope he changes his mind!

school is more important, stay in school, keep up with your work, forget the team, your dad knows what's good for you, he's only trying to help you, but later you can try those fun things you like, so I know it's hard, but just wait, improve, show your dad you did your hw.
