How to get my mom and dad to take my career seriously ?

just be aware that you also nee dto take your carreer seriously, you should have a back-up plan just in case this doesnt work out as mnay people who want t be an actress, dont get to be one. tell them how much it would mean to you and that this is soemthing you want to do, if they dont want to pay for it, mke a compromise or deal (get good grades and they’ll take you) or get a part time job/do chores to save money and pay for it yourself. your prents are right to an extent though. the pressures of fame are extreemly harsh, you have little privacy and not many people deal well with being constantly critisized or photgrahed. but you have nothing but money to loose by giving it a go, and if it doesnt work out, you can always make more money, so at least ask them if you can try it out to see if you really like it

I saw a show where a 13 yr old boy started a business and his parents backed him as they had to in order to form a company name. They are making a mint now. Will actually he is the one making a mint. When the parents were asked why they took his business serious, they replied “because he takes his business serious”. They then went on to explain that the business they were referring to was his school work. The other business was his passion. At 13 yrs old, you should prioritize yourself. I know it sounds bad but you need to prove that you can take care of business before you take care of your passion. When you get older and you realise that your passion has made you rich then you would be an educated rich person. If it doesn’t, then you can still become an educated rich person. Show your parents that school comes first and that you can take care of it in such a manner that you can excel and still have time to follow your dreams. Good Luck! Hope i can get your autograph in the future.

They’re worried about you, that’s why they don’t really want you to be an actress. Actresses work paycheck to pay check, and really end up being waitresses their whole lives because acting work is so hard to get. Actors you see on the red carpets of Hollywood make up probably 5% of all the actors, and they make 99.99% of the money. My cousin is a musician, and his parents weren’t very supportive at first. Now he’s touring the country. The band he’s in is still unsigned, and he’s making a teeny tiny bit of money for each show, but he found a way to live his dream. Anyway, I’m rambling here. My point is that your parents love you, and they want the best quality of life for you. The odds are stacked against you if you become an actress, but if you go to college and get a degree, your odds at a high quality of life is much higher.

Start collecting some profiles of actresses who have great achievement yet having wonderful lives. Show them how you want to become like them. :-)

The only way, you can get your parents to take your job seriously, if YOU take it seriously. Your actions will speak louder than your words, I promise you. If you show up for work everyday on time, and if you do your absolute best everyday… they’ll get the message. :) Best wishes!
