Let them know how you feel about the situation. Tell them that you would prefer if you didn't, try not to make it an argument, just a nice conversation.

Look, parents are the best friends you can ever have... They understand your problems... They surely want what's best for you.. And if they want you to do something you don't want, sit down, and have a really nice and calm chat with them..... Kindly explain to them how u don't wanna do that... They'll really unserstand

Spend time together and open your mind to them. Any way they are parents they will understand you better than anyone.

Well, it's definitely not easy to convince them. Because, they might have been seeing it differently. Eventually, it is your life and it is you who is going to get affected. Even if you muster up all the courage to do it, you wont find happiness. The enthusiasm will always lack and so, you wont ever be able to perform that. Talk to them. Convince them. I'm sure they shall understand. Good luck!

It really depends on your age or what exactly it is. If it's something that will be benificial to your life and future, then maybe you should consider, but if it's not then you need to let them know, in a respectful way that you won't be doing it.

You just have to be honest but be polite. Say something like "Mom. Is it okay if I not do this?" :)

"please, don't be mad at me, but I really don't want to do this. I can really understand your point, but I feel like this isn't something I like"

Politely tell them but first ask yourself why you don't want to do what they want so that you have reasons to tell them because parents are the only people who are worried about their children. Once you have decided what really you want then tell them. They will listen to you if you are sure about your thoughts. It's better to talk and face their wrath than repenting the whole life
