Why won't my dad let me watch WWE? How can I convince him to let me watch it?

It's hard to give you advice because while you write well you didn't state your age. If you are under 13 you may not be able to convince your father to let you watch, because he'll pull the "dad card". If your family is really religious he may truly object to the violence and may think makes objects out of women (which at one time it did). If you are right around 13 or older then you might have a shot at convincing him to let you watch.

Here is what I advise:

First, think about the reasons he may not want you to watch it (it's violent, it makes objects out women, it models bad behavior, it has a lot of attractive guys who wear very little clothing and "his little girl" is watching that, he might think "it's fake and stupid"). In trying to understand his objections to it you are preparing yourself for a conversation with him about it. Also, think deeply about the reasons you like wrestling.

Second, let it go for a week or two. You're angry and he's angry and if you defy his parental orders now he's likely to become more determined to keep you from watching, so obey him for a few weeks. Also, if he catches you watching wrestling on youtube he'll be angry and might take away your computer.

Third, after it's been a few weeks approach him and simply ask him if you can talk to him. Pick your time wisely and don't interrupt him if he's in the middle of something. If you already do things father/daughter things with him this might be a good time. If you can get him in restaurant or a public place where he'd be embarrassed to just yell at you that's a good idea too. If you don't do father/daughter things with him don't suggest doing one just to bring up the wrestling conversation because it's too manipulative. The point is you need to find a time and place where you can have a conversation. The fact that you are having an engaged, rational conversation is a sign of maturity. If he's reasonable he'll respect you and your views a bit more.

Fourth, let him voice his objections. You do this by setting up the topic and asking an open ended question. Let him know that you've obeyed him but that you'd really like to know specifically what it is about WWE he objects to. Let him talk, don't interrupt, and keep your cool. The most important things are for you NOT to be defiant, not to argue, and not to get emotional. If you do it will be proof to him that you are still too immature to have a serious conversation. If says something like "it's not something girls should be watching," respond with "I understand you believe that, but I don't understand why you believe that, and that's why I wanted to talk with you because it's something I've really enjoyed up to this point." Push him to put his specific objections into words. Once he's done, tell him what it is you like about a WWE and why it's important to you. If you can, respectfully offer some counters to some of his points, and point out some facts that work in WWE's favor: there are no guns or murders in WWE's stories, they run a very active anti-bullying campaign, at this point in time there is almost no mature/adult content in WWE's stories, you may also want to point him to link I've provided.

Five, be prepared to be disappointed. There is a very good chance he'll still say no, and this may have a lot to do with a belief that it's not "normal" for girls to watch wrestling. Stay calm, so that he doesn't pull the "I'm the parent" card. At this point ask him if he would be willing to sit down with you and watch a half hour to an hour of a WWE show with you so that he can "point out some specific objections" and so he "can see the product for what it is currently as opposed to what he thinks it is like." If he agrees to this I suggest you watch Smackdown instead of Raw because it isn't live and it's a tamer show.

If after all of this he still says no, don't let the conversation turn into a fight. Tell him that even though you don't like his decision you still respect and love him, and leave it at that. At this point if you watch it on youtube be very carful you don't get caught. Then bring the conversation up again in a few months, the point again being that it's a mature, grown up conversation.

Good Luck!

(that is lengthy, in order that you already know) i have noticeable this movie 23 instances (at least, after that I misplaced rely) and i'm going to must say that you simply quite often will not be ready to persuade your father to can help you watch it. (I needed to be sneaky and watch it on my computer before she found out and my dad wore her down and i acquired it for christmas. I'm sixteen, incidentally, and think a 12 yr historic would not be competent to manage it, although you say that you can) There isn't that so much obvious sexual content material, however there is a bit of implied sexual content (good disguised photos of bare females, speak of sexual matters) I actually are not able to feel of a single intent that a 12 12 months historical could provide a mum or dad rather then "i will be able to manage it" and due to the fact that your 12, that traditionally does not fly. However, in view that i do not want to be a waste of area, i'll are attempting. Listed below are a number of things you would use: - other than the fact that it squirts from a persons neck (that's no longer something I reccomend you convey up though) the blood looks incredibly false. - The singing tells most of the story, so whilst the blood may be very evidently there, you don't pay much concentration due to the fact you are looking to listen to the lyrics (in the event you watched the movie with no sound, you would essentially get lost) - For being a film about a man who cuts peoples throats for a living, there really isn't any unessecary blood shed (there may be one tune where throats are becoming slit throughout the entire thing, however it's more of a heritage factor and most effective there in the movie cuz it was there within the play) - Emphasize that it's the story you are fairly desirous about (this played a tremendous section in my owning of the film as well) - in the end, bring up one of the crucial more violent films you will have obvious (ones with a bloody combat or a dying every 15 minutes or so) after which inform them that there may be no longer that so much violence in Sweeney Todd (simplest two particularily violent scenes) whilst i do not feel a 12 12 months ancient will have to be observing it, I can't tell you to now not try, considering it really is an mighty movie, and if you're not watching it, that is a shame.
