Try showing them the website and explaining that the hobby isn't for young children. I'm 20 years old and picked up Beyblade just before my 16th birthday. Please let them know that they're welcome to PM/email me with any questions or concerns they might have.

It's true that some parents dislike Beyblade, just because it's aimed towards younger children and simply just view it as "useless". However, if they just accept that you just like it, that's good. My mom fully supports me in it, however, with my dad, I don't utter a word about Beyblade to him. But lol, honestly, I don't care. Just do what you like, from your heart! Hobbies shape us, no matter what it is. @[The Supreme One], did your parents support you liking Beyblade or not?
So yeah, don't ya worry about that. :)

I don't think my parents are huge fans of the hobby, but at the end of the day, it's something that I invest time and money in and am passionate about, and nothing they say or do can change that. It wouldn't hurt to have a serious talk with them about what Beyblade means to you & how it isn't just a children's game. You're old enough to make these decisions for yourself in any case, Suzaku.

I get that, but I am not really taken seriously, and they keep blaming Beyblade for my lack of friends.

With just over a week until our big tournament, I would really appreciate it if you could confirm your attendance using the Join Tournament button at the top of this thread. Keep in mind that Bursting into Florida will be in Burst format but NOT deck format and that participation will be free, in addition to giving you several 8th anniversary scavenger hunt points! If I can accommodate you in any way, be it providing spare parts/equipment or getting in touch with a chaperone, please let me know–the more players we have, the better!
