Parents don't support my hobby, what should I do?
So here's the thing. My parents never really showed any interest or anything like that in my martial arts training.
I thought it would get better if I stayed there longer.
Now, after a year, they still want to pay as little as possible, and now I'm supposed to pay 100 percent (which isn't a problem, but they support my other siblings with everything. That's why it bothers me). They didn't even want to look at it, despite the invitation.
For my other siblings, they pay for equipment, monthly payments, and go to their training sessions.
Is this my fault?
I've already tried to change your mind and prove to you that I really enjoy it and that it's good for me. What can I do?

No, it's not your fault. Parents who love are interested in what their children do. Sure they can find your hobby, but if it makes you fun, you stay on it, show commitment, invite them, etc., it's their task to keep your back free, just to "your heart wants".
The message they convey to you is that they like your siblings more than you. And you probably perceive this message as your parents reject you.
I think you're still relatively young. Rejection in a young life will always have a negative effect. Refusal will later lead to rebellion and anger. You'll always feel like you have to prove yourself to someone or fight for recognition.
I hope you'll never get that far. I hope you'll get love and recognition for free.
It's not your fault. You can't force your parents to be interested in your hobby. Parents should actually do this, but if you don't do that, it's best if you find it and go your way. A lot of success.
Did you ask your parents why they have no interest?
Are these your biological siblings?
We are all your care children and not related to each other or to them.
That's an explanation. It is easier to say no or show less interest in a "foreign" child. So you can't reach much, no matter how often you say you wish. But it's not up to you, it's up to your parents who have no skills and show them. So don't bother or be disappointed. Although I can understand
You can hardly force your parents to watch you get hurt, and why should they pay for it?
It's YOUR hobby.
You pay the SAME hobby with even higher risk of injury for my other siblings. I know it's my hobby, which is why I'm gonna pay. I just wonder why they're being supported and I'm not
