What can you do to persuade your parents to let you take figure skating?
You could always threaten them, although some think that that is not the best way. If you show yourself useful around the house (helping with chores, being obedient, etc.) then maybe they will let you. If you get a job and show that you are being serious about figure skating and giving them the money to support the household, then maybe they can see that figure skating could earn them even more money if you are very talented.
