I am almost 17 years old, and my parents have been forcing me to pursue the sport golf, which I hate with all my heart.( We are all Christians, and have a lot of faith as we do bible study almost every night and do church on Sunday). I have hated this sport since little and remember my stomach start hurting everytime my dad would tell me we are going golfing. Golf is probably the hardest sport to become a professional in, espeicially me because I’ve always had problems. But my performance does not matter because good or bad I don’t want to play golf anymore. I wish I could’ve told my parents this a long time ago when I was younger but I feel as if they still would have forced me. I get Straight A’s in school and we’ll behaved, and have never got in trouble. I never talk back to my parents or disrespect at all. Since I do well in school I have so many career opportunities but I’ll do anything except for golf. But I now tell them I don’t wanna play anymore and they won’t take No for an answer. I’m not gonna lie there were a lot good times over the years when I played well but also a lot of bad times and they would repeat. The hardship I have to go through in golf and my hatred towards it has led to me crying, depressed and pure sadness and they don’t even help me. Once I constantly told them I didn’t want to play anymore they yell at me and my dad even proposed “that the front door is open and I’m free to leave anytime”. So I feel trapped and I can’t get out so suicidal thoughts had came to mind like my life is at the end, but I read about Job and know that suicide is the devils work and should have no place in a Christian life. So I know suicide is not an option but I have most likely agreed that i should leave. I don’t know where I’ll go, maybe a church homeless shelter or something like that. I’d never thought that me not playing golf would just make me a pure disappointment to them, because it’s like they don’t care if I’m unhappy. I thought that parents should love their child no matter what but I can’t believe they don’t see my unhappiness and are just really angry at me? I pray and pray that Lord may take away this golf misery away and that my parents would not see me as a disgrace of me not playing golf. My dad once told me his wish for me is not for what I will become but for me to have fellowship with The Lord in life as I get older and that I may teach my kids the same thing. Now when it comes to golf there’s a whole different story now. Once I told him I didn’t want to play, he’s soo angry and even says to my mom to send me to the army or something. I can’t believe it but I now know I’m all alone in this world. All I have in this world is Jesus and pray constantly for a solution to this. I guess I have to leave and see what will happen.
My question is, are my parents wrong for what their doing because I know I don’t want to play golf with all my heart. What should they be doing insted?…
