So for context I am a teenager and got spinal fusion 1 and a half year ago. I've always wanted to try new sports but I have never had the permission to. I want to start figure skating but my parents tell me that I can not do that with my spine, the thing is I do dancing. Yes figure skating is different from dancing but it doesn't mean that I am disabled and can't do anything. I really want to start and I know that I will need to do some adjustments, but it's something I've wanted to do for a while now. Is there someone that had dealt with the same? If so how did you deal with it? My parents also doesn't let me do many sports but then say that I can not complain about my spine since others have it worse. I feel like my parents care too much but at the same time does'nt care at all. How do I tell them that I am fully capable of doing the sports I want when they don't listen?

Personally I study by writing all the new vocabulary on a paper and covering the answer, and then going by each word and try to remember it. I've found it very difficult to remember that way recently, and I don't know any other ways to study. I've also tried flashcards which is a better solution to this problem, but it's still difficult. Maybe I'm learning too much at once, but please share your methods!
