Tell them that if they dont let you play your going to go around wearing a dress and playing with dolls and see if that makes them happy.

I told my parents that it's better to spend my time playing paintball instead of doing drugs, and that it's better to spend my money on paint rather than hookers.

Why don't you try respecting your parent decisions, they aren't going to change their mind, if they let you play it'd be because you annoyed them way too much, and will make them think you are more immature than they must already think you are if they feel you can't handle a simple game of tag.

I don't respect my parents' decision because neither one of them have ever played a team sport or even watched one, for that matter. They have absolutely no idea what I and all my friends get out of paintball, and all the new people I have met over my short paintball career. There is just no way to tell them the way I feel when I play, and I don't think they'll ever get it. |

I highly doubt they never were involved in any team activity, let alone a team sport for one thing, and chances are they probably do know, I knew what that was like, it doesn't last, especially if you have any desire for going beyond playing a couple weekends every few months with buds or at a field, especially tournament paintball (not speedball, competetion for prizes, it kills any bit of a good time as far as I am concerned) |

Do you have a girlfriend?
my friends parents are the same way, they dont like guns. His girlfriend got him a gun for his 18th birthday (he didnt ask her, she just did it) and now he just ignores his parents. Good times. |

Don't ignore your parents, or go against their wishes. This will only
set you up for a heap load of trouble, and really strain your relations
with your parents.
Since they don't like guns, load up Unreal Tournament, Counter Strike, Soldier of Fortune and so forth on your computer. Make sure they see you playing these games, and then casually note that you're getting desensetized to these games, and at least paintball doesn't have blood. Call it an adualts version of "tag". You're not shooting them, you're "tagging" them, and they come back next game Actually take them to a paintball field to watch. Do you have any friends whose parents that play? Get them to talk to your parents. Do you have any friends whose parents go to watch? Have them invite your parents along. Tell them it's safer than soccer (research this out, I've seen the stats somewhere) Ask them how its any different than the NES gun for duckhunt? Tell them that just becuase you play paintball, doesn't mean you'll acquire the means/skills to shoot a real gun (there are some big differences) |

paintball is a great way to get exercise. it also builds communication and team work skills. if you transport and shoot your marker in a safe manner you wont have any trouble. thats about it from me |

You obviously have no clue on how to convince someone's parents. Tell them its safe. Give them statistics proving its pretty much safer than any sport out there. Tell them that it's better to play paintball all day than sit in front of the t.v. or computer all day. Tell them what everyone else said too. At first my parents said no, but I kept asking and proving that I was right and they finally let me buy one. |

i kept talking about mine, plus its good excersize, tell them that if you ever get drafted that paintball will give you some extra skills at moving, and concealing your body talk abou that |
